This month Book Club is reading The Waterboys by Peter Docker (evening) and The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do (morning).
The Waterboys is a reimagining of Australian history about a divided Australia, those who have embraced the country and learnt blackfulla ways and those who cling to the imperialist whitefulla imperative of destruction and annihilation.
The Happiest Refugee tells the story of one of Australias favourite comdeians. From his arrival in Australia from Vietnam on a leaky boat with nothing but the clothes on his back, to his families struggles to come to grips with a new country, language and culture, and to his sold out comedy tours and television appearences.
Upcoming titles we will be looking at are Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by patrick Suskind, The Second-Last Woman in England by Maggie Joel and the classics The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
We also have an Upcoming author visit by Donna Mulhearn. For details you can contact me for details on 46454415 or book at the front desk.

Cheers
David

Hello All!
This Month we will be looking at Voss by Patrick White for the morning group and The Plantation by Di Morrissey for the evening.

Also it is that time of the year to get your book selections in for next year so all can be ready when we restart after the Christmas break in February. I will be finalising and posting the dates and times for get togethers next year in the next week or two.

Our final meeting for the year will be held on the 14th December (3.00pm) at the Central Library here at Campbelltown and will include all the book groups from all of the branches. This will be a chance for everyone to meet, mingle and discuss all your favourite books from throughout the year! I would also like to ask everyone to bring a small Chrissie present of a book (new or secondhand) to give to another member on the day.

Thanks
Dave
