Brockholme Road Bookclub
Friday 14 July
The Club met to discuss Douglas Coupland's novel "Hey Nostradamus!". Consensus seemed to be that the book was a good holiday read. Quite gripping but not a great read. It starts with a high school massacre and goes downhill from there. Despite the subject matter it did not have the gritty, gut-renching power of The Kite Runner nor the unremitting gulit trip of "We must Talk About Kevin". All in all a light read.
The next book is Richard Yates book "Revolutionary Road". Originaly published in 1961 the story is about the emptyness of American suburban life for a young couple in the 1950's. The book will be discussed at the book club on Friday 8 September 2006 at Barbara and Dave's house (No 26) at 8.00 pm.
The book after that will be "Birds Without Wings" by Louis de Bernieres of "Captain Corelli" fame. Good reading for the summer.
