Code13 Â Â 10 #13 Posted February 7, 2008 I thought I would bump this up, as people are still responding to the old thread (I guess we can't get the old thread closed down as the OP has fled to Switzerland). Must say the Eyre Affair is not my cup of tea, more my cup of hemlock. But I will be there to discuss its "merits" on Wednesday Next.

Ron Blanco   10 #14 Posted February 7, 2008 Wednesday Next!  Well at least the book has allowed you to make that side-splitting quip code13, so something good has come of it.  It was certainly a contrast to the previous book which has gone up in my estimation, in retrospect.

Globetrotter   10 #15 Posted February 7, 2008 Hi everyone!  I'm afraid I won't be able to come to next week's meeting as I'm going off on a last minute holiday to Budapest... But I've just bought Mr. Pip so I'll go ahead with our next title.  Thanks for inviting us to the Australia day celebrations Mocca, that was really kind of you. I haven't logged on for a while so I didn't see the invite. I would have come, but this is what happens to you when you only log on every two weeks...  Happy birthday Code13!  See you all next time.

moccainuk   10 #16 Posted February 8, 2008 Yep, it has definitely been a change to the last books we have been reading. I actually didnt mind it that much, admit to doing quite a lot of "skimming" though. Was a welcome relief before I started rereading some good old Chcuk Look forward to everyone's views on Wednesday.

clarey   10 #19 Posted February 10, 2008 Hi - are new members still welcome?  I've never been to a book club before (although thought about it a few times) but your book choices are mostly ones I've already chosen to read so thought it looked fun. How many of you usually meet?  thanx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
