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.

Ethiopia - a remote land

Dear All,

Just finished a travel book called The Chains of Heaven by Philip Marsden. Very fine writing. Describes a way of life completely alien to us in the West. Like travelling back five hundred years. Lives that revolve round God or Allah much as they used to here. A harsh and unforgiving life - also a simple life lived close to the elements.

Am now reading the book I got from Victoria in the Lucky Dip at Christmas - Just one Look by Harlan Coben
