So to kick off bowl-in the new year we chatted about the rumpy pumpy masterpiece that is Riders. From different times when lots of things were completely inappropriate. Still it sounded like everyone had fun playing pin the hand on the bum in celebration of the cover that prompted my dad to wrap his copy in brown parcel paper in the 80s.
From the sublime to the ridiculous, the book for next time is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and we’re meeting on the 5th of February from 7.30 ish in the Effra Social. Red jumpsuit optional.
Runners up included: A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes, A Wizard of Earths by Ursula Le Guin, The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa, Strong Female Character by Fern Brady, Kairos by Jenny Erpenback and I who have never known men by Jaqueline Harpman.
