Having greatly enjoyed the first year of this new book club, I am encouraged by the group to re-convene it. We have been reading short books that stray into something more unusual in content or style. My preference is for books of up to and no more than about 200 or so pages, English or in translation, 20th/21st century in the main. Nothing against longer books but I'm no good at reading against the clock! Early ideas include 'Homestead' by Rosina Lippi and 'Maintenance of Headway' by Marcus Mills, but I am more than happy for the group members to come up with suggestions to include in the monthly schedule. I am happy to do/share introductions but hope these will be kept short to maximise discussion time.
