Books we have discussed in the past:
Because other book discussion groups are interested
in what we are reading, from now on we will list the books we discussed
in previous meetings below:
Tuesday, February 14, The
Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (winner of the 2010 Man Booker
Prize for Literature) - it was a lively discussion. Each of us had topics in
this book that we were eager to discuss and could relate to.
Tuesday, 10th January, Brooklyn
by Colm Toibin - everybody enjoyed this book immensely and could relate to the
situation of the changes of perspectives that living in another country invaribly
brings.
