We had a fabulous evening at the first Kenn Village Book Group. We discussed Bill Bryson‟s “Down Under”. Laughing as we recalled the humour and wit. Relaying to each other lots of “do you remember when” moments in the Australian travelogue. Equally we were aghast at the hidden injustice meted out by settlers and subsequent governments to the Aboriginals.
We have decided on a format for the group. We will meet monthly, towards the end of the month. Notice of the book will be in the N&V at the beginning of the month and in the previous month’s edition. One month we will read something not too heavy, a familiar work known to us all chosen collectively. The following month we will read something a little more challenging chosen in rotation.
Next group is on Thursday 21st April 2011 at 7.30 at the Drum and Monkey. We will discuss “Cider with Rosie‟ by Laurie Lee. In May we will read and discuss “Star of the Sea” by Joseph O‟Connor. The date for the May group is yet to be decided.
Come and join us. Like most book groups we chat about the book for a while then move on to other topical debate.
