THE SLAP!

Hello

Just a reminder that this Friday will be the next IWEAD bookgroup meeting at Cafe Muse.

I think that we booked last time we were there. A few cannot make it - with flimsy excuses like moving house - but we will go on.

I think that we will have lot to talk about with this book - so bring your notes and opinions and your favourite paragraph highlighted!

See ya Friday

Hello Weaders

Next book is Miles Franklin My Brilliant Career - I think everyone knows but just to make sure.

I think that Cafe Muse is already booked for Friday 19th June 2009 - same time, same place and same tapas please...

Looked her up on Google and apparently she died in Drummoyne in 1954 - so she was an Inner Westie too !

Also found this great photo of her - thought it would be nice to put a face to the writer.

See ya

Cafe Muse May 8th at 7pm

Hello

We are getting weady for the next meeting of iwead. It will be at Cafe Muse at Summer Hill in the back room as before. At 7pm. 8th May If you are late you may have to be prepared to eat whats ordered as last time we were all starvin. We may have to start to become a little more organised with the choice of books - maybe we shall have a designated driver whose job it will be to pick the book for the next meet.

Anyway - bring your book and lets eat

Jo

p.s. I hope that we haven't started a trend for blogging embaressing photos - cause I have one of donkey and I'm not afraid to use it!

Next weeeeead!

Hi Everyone.
Next wead is Friday 8th May. Can I ask please that everyone send their emails addresses to this site? I had them to set this up but would like to flag when a new post is posted (is that right expression?).
I am all in favour of orange penguin classics for a bit. They are cheap, look tops on the book shelf and someone else has made the decision already! Next book is Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh. I think you'll find it rather interesting.
I have included a photo of two members of the Iwead Club. I don't know any recipes!
The iWead email address is: donkeyhop@gmail.com

PS - Muse seems like a winner - so let's stick with that?
