Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Hi Helen, thanks again for the Eleanor Oliphant review, wondered if you had a book suggestion for us to read, I know Shirley is reading Munich at the moment, any idea of the next book for us to read ? Also Paul and Sue, any ideas ? Thank you Sarah

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments PS I have already read Munich x

Shirley | 48 comments Mod
Should we put Munich up for discussion?


message 6: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments Happy to put Munich up for discussion. Sarah, my suggestion would be All the light we cannot see by Anthony Doerr. I have this on my book shelf and haven't got round to reading it.


message 7: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Hi Helen, just put up a discussion post for Munich, feel free to add your review, Shirley will be doing the same.
Yes, 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr will be great, think that Shirley and I will both need to order it, but that is fine. Sarah x

message 21: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments He tried to say:
Hello everyone. Just worked out how to navigate the site! I'm going to leave my thoughts on 'Munich' shortly. Currently reading Ollie the Elephant!


message 22: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Great Helen, just to let you know I have sent Tom the book, 'All The Light We Cannot See', via Amazon, so hopefully he will read it at the same time as us. Hope you enjoy, 'Oliie The Elephant' Helen xxx

message 25: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Hi Everybody, Sarah here, hope you are all enjoying your reading. Got some suggestions for the next two books, Paul and Helen, wondering what you think? Myself, Tom and Shirley all have (or will have soon), copies of Black Water Lilies by Michel Bussi, and Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. Should these be our next two books, or do you have any suggestions? Look forward to hearing what you all think.x


message 26: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Hi Everybody,
Just to let you know that I have added the 'Five People You Would Meet in Heaven' to our list. Hope this is ok x


message 27: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments Hi all, sorry I've been rubbish! Still need to do my reviews of the Minituarist and All the light. I have The Five People so will start on that when I've finished my current book. I'll order the other 2 today.


message 28: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Thanks for the message Helen, don't worry too much, write them at your own leisure. I am finding 'All The Light' quite hard to get into, I know I will return to it at some point. Thanks for getting the other books. Sarah x


message 29: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments Sorry to hear that Sarah, I loved it so much!


message 30: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Thanks Helen, I will finish it, I hope! x


message 31: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments Hello everyone. My son has posted me a book that he thinks I'll love. It's called Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, published in 1966. If anyone else fancies reading it we could put it on the list!


message 33: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Hi Helen, just looked at the Wikipedia info, sounds great, yes I will order it, thanks Sarah x


message 34: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 48 comments Mod
Hi Helen, I read that about six months ago, funnily enough. It’s an interesting one, classic science fiction full of moral questions. Great put it up!


message 35: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Brereton | 49 comments Have put two new books up x


message 36: by Helen (new)

Helen | 24 comments I'm so enjoying reading again! I'm never without a book now . I know I have some to catch up with on the list, just started Underground Railroad (thanks Sue), which is not on the list. Can I suggest another title for in a little while? Slaughterhouse - Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Read it a couple of years ago so it's on my shelf. Would love to revisit it and see what you all think.


message 37: by Shirley (new)

Shirley | 48 comments Mod
I read Slaughter House 5 a couple of years ago too Helen, think we read it at around the same time. Excellent book.
I agree, it’s so good having the time to read again.
