Chick

To those of you coming to R4 this Wednesday can you please send me sample questions that you intend to ask. Two would be good so that you have a backup should someone else steals your thunder! Ideally I need them today please.

There are two book groups located under whats on in East Dulwich.

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to the last very good meeting and commiserations to those of you who were ill. The next meeting is 11th February and our chosen book is ?A man without a country? by Kurt Vonnegut. Some quotes from KV: http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1119459-a-man-without-a-country And a brief synopsis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_Without_a_Country For those of coming to Tate tomorrow: meet at Southwark tube station at 1.00pm, then the Tate followed by Borough Mkt for food followed by beer. Those of you who wanted to order from Rye books they are in Monday. Claire (the geologist) can you confirm reception of this email pls? Best wishes Chick

See you all tomorrow and have a think about the Tate this weekend.

Greetings book clubbers, Just to remind you our meeting is this Wednesday at 8.00pm in the Blake room at the Clockhouse. Also those of you coming to the Tate Modern next Saturday, I suggest we meet at Southwark tube station (Jubilee line) at 1.00pm. We can see the exhibition then have a beer and some food. Please can you confirm if you are coming to the Tate? Thanks, Chick.

Just to remind you the next meeting is at the Clockhouse in the Blake room at 8.00pm on the 7th January. The book is still God Bless you Mr Rosewater but we can still discuss The Other Side of the Bridge. Have a good crimbo & New Year and thanks for your participation in the group. I have certainly read some great books that I otherwise would never have heard of. Cheers Chick.

Just a reminder our meeting is Wednesday 26th in the Blake room at the Clockhouse. I have booked a room in Sema Thai for 10 on the 10th December, can you let me know if you are coming please. Every one welcome.

Meal this year is Sema Thai on 10th December at 8.00PM. Great book this month.

Bees aren?t animals. The don?t have saliva, just some chemical that converts nectar to honey. bermygirl31 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > No - strict vegans do not eat honey.

Thanks DF.

I asked a vegan if they ate honey and was surprised when she said ?no, they (bees) mix it with saliva?. I am not sure that is true but I find it weird that any one wouldn?t eat honey for moral reasons. I doubt bees produce saliva.

Dear book clubbers, The general feeling I am getting is the preference for the December meal is the Sema Thai in Lordship Lane on the 10th 0r 11th December. I have no preference for the dates but will you please let me know your preferred date and are you happy with Sema Thai or would you prefer somewhere else? There are several good Indian restaurants including Tandoori Nights and a good Chinese. The sooner we book the better. There are still two books to collect from Rye Books. See you on the 26th. Cheers Chick

Greetings and thanks to everyone who came to last Wednesdays meeting. A big welcome to Claire and Laura. Our next book is The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson. http://www.theguardian.com/books/2006/oct/07/featuresreviews.guardianreview14 Those who wanted copies they are in Rye books waiting for collection. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 26th November at the Clockhouse in the Blake room upstairs. Claire can you send me an email address please. We will set a date for our December meal, probably Wednesday 10th of December, how does that suit you? Cheers

One week to go and I am on page 40. Any one want the Faber book and I will bring some along?
