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.

Bookgroup June 7th 2007

We had a good discussion about the Painted Veil. I think the reception was generally enthusiastic.
I adored the book. For me it was a 24 carat classic

Gaby's list last night was as follows

1. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

2. Poppy Shakespeare by Clare Allan

3. Weeping Women Hotel by Alexei Sayle

4. Two Caravans by Marina Lewycka


It was a very closely fought contest going through several rounds!!

The winner was Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

Next Meeting is July 19th. We are thinking of having a picnic in Regents Park

Claire is preparing the list for next time.
