Hi bookclubbers,
Well a terrific meeting was held on Thursday evening with lots of interesting discussion around the themes in our latest read ‘Never let me go’.
Our next read was selected during the evening and it will be............ Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
I’ve done a quick search on the book and think we are in for an interesting read! :
“Published in 1969, Slaughterhouse Five became one of the most popular and enduring novels of its time. Its indelible ironic tone, its trippy plotting and its bold, even hilarious use of science fiction make it an utterly unique reading experience.”
The library will be ordering copies of this book via inter library loan so please email me if you wish to reserve a copy and I will forward your request to library staff. If you wish to obtain a copy in talking book format please specify this.
Our next meeting will be held on Thursday 22nd April.
Cheers until then,
Deidre

Mildura library has two copies of this book, one on the shelf at Mildura, another large print version at Redcliffs library, - so if you're quick you might grab one of these, otherwise I'll be obtaining copies via interlibrary loan from across NSW, they will dribble in over the next couple of weeks.
Please let me know if you will reqire a copy and I will reserve one for you.
Our next meeting is set for Thursday February 18th at 6.pm.

Next read?
Hi Troops
We need to select a book for our next meeting. I need some ideas please. If no-one can come up with any inspirational choice I'll just pull a title out of a hat.
We should have done this at our Christmas meeting but we were obviously too busy drinking wine...
