Re: Reading group suggestions
Up to you, Emma. If you post a poll, at least you know how many people are likely to be taking part. I will read Brick Lane.

I appreciate your point about summarising a book you haven't read. I was thinking that the picker could either pick mostly books they had read, if they wanted, or just post up the description from the back cover of the book if they hadn't!

As I do need to read more, can I be the token bloke?

Oh, a minor issue: how exactly does a book club work?

That depends on whether you're buying them or selling them. But it would be useful, seeing that it's a book club.

Tom Sharpe books are amazingly funny farces and cover a range of subject matter,

Some books have made it to tv series status. Blot on the Landscape, Porterhouse Blue, and film WILT
The author is a genius of farce you can see the plot thicken but still laugh out loud at the consequences.
Indecent exposure a story of life in the South African police is a fantastic laugh.

,

Tom Sharp seems to be out of fashion but his novels are Hilarious

WILT is based on his time in the 60s at Cambridge Technical College, were he tried to teach myself and other inattentive students. The caricatures in the book can all be recognised. The Teacher of “Gas fitters four” was my Physics Teacher

Scullion was base on my friend’s dad who was a porter at Trinity College

If any has the TV version of Blot I flew the balloon that took Blot from East to West Germany

The scene took a day to film, blink and you will miss it

I'm sure you'd also enjoy certain sections of Lord of the Rings.
