A slightly smaller group for Dracula, which given that we were in a poorly signed back room behind a rock band playing dressed as the Three Musketeers was not too surprising. The Lonely Girls Club was carving pumpkins in our usual room. Anyway its a good reminder to check on the day in case we've had to move the group for some reason. Dracula was a suitable scary read for Halloween though perhaps went a little too hard on shipping routes and counting boxes of soil. And how was Van Helsing travelling on his many overnight trips back to Amsterdam? Reading Maps does not cover this: https://readingmaps.com/maps/dracula
The book next time is Taiwan Travelogue by Yang Shuang-zi and we are meeting on Nov 19th (room booking permitting) - its quite soon so get reading!
Other books pitched were: Rosemarys Baby - Ira Levin, The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold, The Employees - Olga Ravn, The Tiger's Wife - Tea Obrecht, The Godfather - Mario Puzo, Aftertaste - Daria Lavelle, Severance - Ling Ma, Every Man For Himself - Werner Herzog
We don't usually do a book in December though we'll choose a date for a Christmas drink and Book Secret Santa - check back after Nov 19th for the date. So the November meeting is a good opportunity to pitch a slightly longer book as we have until January to read it.
