"Yellow Birds" by Kevin Powers (4 Dec 2013)

We will be meeting at The Royston Hotel, Richmond at on December 4, 8:00 pm.

Tom's suggestion of Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers was taken up after the usual tossing around of book titles and ideas.  There were a couple of other suggestions:

• The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
• The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, 2013 Booker prize winner but too long at 800+ pages

Yellow Birds won The Guardian’s inaugural book award, there’s an article about that here.

This will be the last book group meeting for the year.  Edward was proposing that over the christmas break that we should all read different books and then report back to the group about them when we reconvene next year.
