2015: The Year of Reading Women discussion

Discussion and group reads for Iris Murdoch.

Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Mur...

Is anyone interested in reading The Sacred and Profane Love Machine? I have a copy of this book and would love to read it in the new year.

I plan to read The Bell and A Severed Head sometime this year, if not other Murdochs.

Sacred and Profane Love Machine would also work!

The two you mentioned sound really good. Count me in!

This sounds like fun. I have a stack of her novels that I picked from a second hand bookshop. I'm not sure which titles they are but I'm sure A Severed Head is amongst them. Not sure about The Sacred and Profane Love Machine - but I'll check when I get back home.

Please count me in for any of them.

I'll be in for any or all things Iris. :)

When works for everyone? And which Murdoch shall we start with?

I also have an Iris Murdoch that I got from a second hand store but don't remember which one it was. I will check when I return home and might join on.

I just looked at my shelf and saw that I now have accumulated 6 Murdochs, and haven't read a single one! The shame! Are we looking at A Severed Head to start with? Funnily enough, I have that one.

A Severed Head to start with works for me.

When seems to work for others?

My library has quite a large selection of Murdoch books, including A Severed Head, so I wouldn't mind starting with that one. Any time from February onwards works for me.

I will probably read The Sacred and Profane Love Machine later on in the year if anyone would like to join me.

I'll join you for The Scared and Profane Love Machine as well as hitting up A Severed Head, Rowena. Do we want to hit up ASH in Feb.?

Hi Russell,

Great:) ASH in February it is then. Would you like to read TSAPLM in March (or whenever others would like to read it too, I'm flexible)?
