Great turnout and an enthusiastic group last night - even if the reception of the book was more muted :). As I look back with the Book Group now into it's fourth year, I've realize how much I've come to appreciate these evenings and the conversations and the relationships they've engendered. Thanks for being there to help me celebrate my birthday in style! And thank you Doug for making it such a festive occasion......
As I mentioned at the end of the evening, we'll be reading Evelyn Waugh's Decline and Fall at our next meeting on Wednesday, April 12th. Waugh's singular style remains surprisingly modern and as funny as ever. In this first novel, Paul Pennyfeather is expelled from Oxford for debauchery and then unexpectedly qualifies for the position of schoolmaster at an elite Welsh boys' school. Mayhem ensues! Should make for a great conversation and I hope you can join us in April.
