Meeting Summary: Aug. 27, 2010

My Name Escapes Me by Alec Guiness (Ada)

Ella Minnow Pee by Mark Dunn (Linda)

We need to talk about Kevin by Lionel Shriver (Frances)

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver (Pat)

A Visit to Highbury by Joan Austen Leigh (Goldie)

Cooking for me and Sometimes you: a Parisienne Romance with Recipes by Barbara-jo McIntosh (Barb)

Homeland: a novel by Barbara Hambly (Kathryn)

This evening included a really interesting variety of books, from a post-fame autobiography of Alec Guiness to a strange little novel about the alphabet to a cookbook masquerading as a diary (or maybe it was the other way around). Generally positive reviews. There's more to write, but I can't because I have to go back to obsessing about the f***ing wedding which is now 2 weeks away.

Looking forward to seeing you on October 29 when I will be a legally-married woman. The meeting is at Pat's (4611 Wickenden Rd, North Vancouver) and the topic is the exotic and mysterious sub-continent of India.
