June 2006

The general opinion seemed to be that The Master and Margarita was an enjoyable read - even though a couple of us were a little scared we hadn't quite 'got the point' of the novel.



As ever, after staring at each other blankly for a moment the titles and authors started pouring forth for next month's read. We arrived at Cold Comfort Farm (Stella Gibbons) by way of Orwell, Ballard, Lord of the Flies and Edith Wharton. We were variously restricted at different points in the conversation by length, gender of author (had to be female) and price (Wordsworth Classics for a quid sounded popular!).
