Hi All,

The titles we are looking at this month are The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pulman and The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. The feedback so far on both of these titles has so far been excellent and a few people have commented that they are looking forward to the discussions on these books.

The previous months title, Perfume: Story of a Murderer, certainly created a bit of a stir, with some not liking the dark subject matter and others commenting that it was one of the best books they had read although most agreed it was one of the better discussions had concerning a title we have read so far.

In the coming months there will be work commencing on the new cafeteria in the Library. This could have some impact on what room the meetings are held in. Any changes and I will let you know but at this stage I am anticipating that the upcoming meeting will be held in usual spot on the 31st of October.

We also have an upcoming author visit by Ken Hillman. Ken will be discussing his current book Vital Signs: Stories from Intesive Care.  Ken is Professor of Intesive Care at the SWS Clinical School, University of New South Wales and is an actively practising clinician in Intesive Care at Liverpool Hospital.
This we held at Campbelltown Library on 17 October at 7.00pm. For bookings please contact the Library front desk.

Cheers
Dave
