READING GROUP |
|
|
At each meeting
we have an informal discussion about the latest book (they becomes much more informal as the evening progresses – due to
the consumption of wine and nibbles!). These discussions are lively and
thought-provoking.
Books are provided via Crosby Library's reading group list. |

We next meet on Tuesday 19th June when we will be discussing "Forgive me, Leonard Peacock" by Matthew Quick. Leonard Peacock is turning 18 and he wants to say goodbye. Not to his former best friend, whose torments have driven him to consider committing something tragic and horrific. Nor to his mum who's moved out and left him to fend for himself. But to his four friends: A Humphrey Bogart-obsessed neighbour; a teenage violin virtuosos; a pastor's daughter; a teacher. Most of the time Leonard believes he's weird and sad but these friends have made him think that maybe he's not. He wants to thank them, and bid them farewell.
