Book Club - Thursday 11th, 2011

Here are the books that were presented yesterday at the now worldwide famous (especially amongst us) bookclub at the lovely Oscar Wilde Pub:

- Luke talked about "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenant", Robert M. Pirsig: "A book on philosophy of how to come to terms with the modern world and technology". Off the record, he also added "the sequel is utterly crap".


- Emma talked about Shakespeare's Sonnets: "My favourite book when in need for romantic words, because it's supposed to be autobiographical and even in his every day life Shakespeare lived through poetry".


- Carine talked about Un chien de saison, Maurice Denuzière. She said: "A funny novel about the joys of having a dog, such as having to take him out every 6 hours..The owners get rid of their boxer and the narrator tells the story of his new life with the dog. An easy going novel, funny, perfect for holidays!"


- Ani talked about One Mississippi, Marc Childless. "I'm looking forward to discovering America's South in the nineties from a very up close and personal perspective".


- Alexsandra talked about Norman Davies' "Vanished Kingdoms": "Written by an English historian, detailed, challenging, but definitely worth the effort".
