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.

March's book

Last night we discussed The Sea by John Banville...some adored it, others found it very descriptive but could've done with more of a plot, and one closed the book for good at page 20...

Steve brought along his shortlist:

Longing by J.D. Landis
The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber
The Lambs of London by Peter Ackroyd
Women of the Silk by Gail Tsukiyama
The Binding Chair by Kathryn Harrison

Once again, we had to have 2 rounds of voting...oh my goodness the thrills and tension! The winner is...in all its 894 pages of glory...

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber.

If you read about 20 pages a day, you'll get through it in time...!
