Rockdale Readers will meet again on the 17th October 2008 at 5.30pm. We will be discussing The History of love by Nicole Krauss.
If you have read this book feel free to come along and join the discussion. During this meeting we will also be discussing what to read in 2009.

Our discussion in November will be about The Road by Cormac McCarthy.

In our September meeting we had a very good discussion about Winter in Madrid by C J Sansom, which centred around notions of truth, the public school and class systems in the UK in the 1940s and the impact of the Spanish Civil War.
