Eclectic outpourings as books pass through

Pimlico Book Club

@ 06:17 PM (43 months, 16 days ago)

A few months ago, a few of us got together and formed our own reading group. We meet once a month, discuss the book we've just read, eat good food, have a few drinks and a few laughs, and select the book to read for next month. Pretty simple stuff, but enormously good fun.  The process of selecting the next book is one of the most enjoyable parts - we get to hear what others think of books and authors they've come across, often rekindling fondless for forgotten books or providing an introduction to a whole new world of wonder.

Well, this weekend I've finally got around to throwing up a few webpages so that we can keep track of what been suggested - and in particular what's been suggested but not selected.  And if it's good for us, it might just be useful for others wondering how to decide what to read next.  Selections include hyper modern and classics.  While most of the selections are fiction, there is also a smattering of biography.
