We thought this an interesting book, readable and well worth persisting with.
London and rural Turkey woven together.

Death and the Penguin -- Andrei Kurkov
A short , darkly amusing read. We all liked it - but not much to discuss. Magnus Mills with a political agenda. Worth a look.

Cloud Atlas -- David Mitchell
Very clever , but is there a message . Apparently yes but most of us missed it.
Good but not great

One Hundred Years of Solitude -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
OR years of stolid dude..... Not many of us finished it . I realised that trying to remember who is who and when is redundant .. history and the people repeat. Some great bits.
Seemed great twenty years ago

Murder in the Cathedral -- T.S. Eliot
A play , partly in verse - well a bit different and certainly worth reading . What motivates Becket? pride , duty, hubris...
