After the success of our first meeting we have decided to proceed with our little venture!
The date of the next meeting has been set as 4th March, and Adrianne has kindly volunteered to host our little gathering.
Therefore, dear readers, the time has come to select a new book for us all to enjoy!
Please make your suggestions by the end of the week, and we can then put democracy into action and choose ourselves a new challenge!
Feel free to comment on this post with your suggestion and I'll collate them all and set up a poll.
Sharon has kindly put forward her suggestion via an email to the group:
ReplyDelete"Morning all,
Nominations for the next book club book are now open! Next dinner will be hosted by Adrianne on 4 March.
My suggestion is Towards a Second Republic: Irish Politics after the Celtic Tiger (Pluto Ireland). See today's Irish Times opinion section for a column by the authors.

Rory has also put forward a suggestion:
ReplyDelete"I'm throwing the Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, by David Mitchell
into the mix, mostly because it's great and I keep meaning to read it.

Right, my suggestion is 'Sex and Marriage in Ancient Ireland' by Patrick C Power. 96 pages, can be done in the couple of hours before the next dinner :)

Can I suggest 'Two Caravans' by Marina Lewycka? Two reasons. One: I read her 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian' and it was just excellent. Really moving. Two: I'm pretty sure I'm not going to understand much of what the other books suggested are about... :/
ReplyDeletehow about 'Middlesex' by Jeffrey Eugenides?
