Welcome to the Globe Bookgroup blog! Here, members of the group can post messages about past and present books, and catch up with other members. The Globe Bookgroup meets around every 4-5 weeks on a Thursday night in The Globe pub, Baker Street. We get very excited about choosing and voting for our books. We don't do organised discussions or heavy hardbacks.

Everything ticking along

Sounds interesting what you have been reading Ellie. That movie book is probably well worth a look. I have finished The Sunday Philosophy Club and am reading another Anne Tyler - this time - The Tin Can Tree

The people at work have started a softball team - which is good fun - have started learning how to play.

Hope you are all surviving the hot weather

Such alot of talk about Jane Austen - far too many adaptations - I did like the BBC's Pride and Prejudice but some of them have been truly awful like the adaptation of Mansfield Park which changed so much, putting in alot of PC stuff about slavery which is not what interested Miss Austen at all. I think alot of people get very silly about Austen. She was a brilliant stylist and person of the utmost good sense. Its much better to read the books and ignore everything else.
