Hi, I'm not going to make it unfortunately as I've still not yet got the hang of getting my baby to go to sleep in time for me to go out! Hope to make it next time!... Really enjoying the book so far so I'm sorry to miss the discussion.
Thanks Sophie! Glad the meeting was good and hoping to make the next one - I'd better get started on the book now while I've still got some spare time!
Thanks Jenny - I'm fine but just getting very tired in the evenings now! I'm afraid I won't make this meeting but hope to see you all next time depending on when the baby arrives etc. Have a good time tonight!
Hoping to make it tomorrow, and the Stapleton at 7.30 sounds good, but it depends how tired I'm feeling - I'm still living in west London and getting very close to the baby's due date so trying not to get too exhausted travelling about! Hope to come…
It sounds like we should just do the Annie Proulx stories for 1st March and a Dickens for the next time. I don't know about anyone else but I haven't bothered to start reading The Old Curiosity Shop as there's been so much discussion about whether t…
That would be great! We could have a short discussion about Close Range on the same evening too. I'd be keen to do any of the Dickens novels Jenny suggested and would be happy with Hard Times.

I'm so sorry Annbag! For some reason your last post was not showing on the site till the evening after I had already set off for book group - I ended up sitting at the bar in the Dairy on my own with the book prominently displayed in the hope that I…
I'm still planning to be there - how about anyone else? I think it would be better not to reschedule if there are new members planning to come along! I'm happy to meet at 8pm if that suits people better?
I'm still on for Thursday - only on p40 so can't do a review yet but hoping to have made progress by Thursday! Eating at the Dairy would be nice - shall we book a table?
I'm not going to be able to make tomorrow now unfortunately. I'm living in west London temporarily and won't be able to get back tomorrow but really hope to make the next one. I would be interested to hear what everyone makes of the book so will be …
I think we were all pretty disappointed with the book! Although it does make some interesting points about issues surrounding Jewishness, we felt these were spread rather thinly and repetitively over an uninvolving story which we all felt was way to…
