Columba Dec 2014 3:09pm, 14 Dec 2014 5,638 posts	0 Columba Checking the Dickens on my bookshelf - most of it was my mother's, rather than mine, originally - realised I have never read Bleak House, so will start on that next. But a bit intrigued by the comments on Mr. Penumbra. NO, I have not (yet) dreamt of Book Group.
McGoohan Dec 2014 4:27pm, 14 Dec 2014 13,574 posts	0 McGoohan That was the 'This library recommends' selection in Epsom library the other week - i.e. they had a big display of Penumbras. I glanced at it, flipped through it, didn't fancy it and put it back.
DazTheSlug Dec 2014 4:27pm, 14 Dec 2014 548 posts	0 DazTheSlug taken delivery of The Friends Of Eddie Coyle - very keen to launch into it, but can't start yet another book (embarrassed_smiley) so will have concerted push to finish Thomas Penman, which won't be too much of a chore as I find I am liking it more and more as I go along...
McGoohan Dec 2014 4:28pm, 14 Dec 2014 13,575 posts	0 McGoohan I'm on page 120 and struggling a bit but I'll persevere...
DazTheSlug Dec 2014 12:35pm, 17 Dec 2014 554 posts	0 DazTheSlug Finished Thomas Penman a couple of days ago - duly polled/discussed. now alternating between Eugene Onegin and The Moonstone - both brill!!
McGoohan Dec 2014 12:45pm, 17 Dec 2014 13,612 posts	0 McGoohan I've got Eugene One-gin (no, just the one guvnor, I'm driving) unread on the shelves from probably two years ago...
Columba Dec 2014 6:40pm, 17 Dec 2014 5,650 posts	0 Columba I didn't know it was a novel, I thought it was an opera. (presumably it's both)
McGoohan Dec 2014 8:11pm, 17 Dec 2014 13,616 posts	0 McGoohan It's a novel in poem form as I recall, so that would sort of lend itself to being sung I suppose
Night-owl Dec 2014 12:02am, 18 Dec 2014 18,499 posts	0 Night-owl Finished Harold Fry. A book hasn't moved me so much in years
McGoohan Dec 2014 12:05am, 18 Dec 2014 13,626 posts	0 McGoohan Did you know there's a sequel N-O?
