Being lazy this summer.

-----

So we read To 'Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee in April (welcome Meg's sister Nicole), did a Book Circle in May (Gayle joined us) and discussed 'Watership Down' by Richard Adams in June. I really liked 'Watership Down' but it was not a favourite with everyone. I'm not sure Catherine understood it properly, she kept talking about transvestite bunnies!?! 'To Kill a Mockingbird' was wonderful of course so we got together in May to watch the movie.

We totally bailed on 'Sons and Lovers' (Lawrence) (supposed to have discussed in May) and will be ignoring Voltaire (July) in favour of a frivolous day out to see 'Mama Mia' the movie on July 20th . In August we will read and discuss 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' by James Herriott which is a lovely read but will not really tax our sun bedazzled brains.

Then it will be back to business with 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen in September then 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson in October. I am not sure of venues, will edit this blog after I look up details.

I will also add details of our Mama Mia plans. ......Beautiful Greek scenery, great music, C___ F____, P___B___. Can't wait!

See you soon.
