It was a smaller turnout than we’ve been seeing but there was a very good discussion Javier Marias’s A Man Of Feeling. While the book was a little slow to start, it became compelling as the story progressed.
That led to a long discussion about the next book and the sorts of things that we’re looking for. Mark had bought along a fistful of good books which were discussed and also used to spark wider discussion of others. After considering a number of alternatives we settled on “The Sense Of An Ending” by Julian Barnes.
The date for this meeting was originally April 1 but as that falls during the holidays, the "extraordinary meeting" rules apply.
