26th June 2005.

May Book: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus. We met at the Sydney Writers' Festival in May so deferred discussion of the book until today. Not much to say on Purple Hibiscus.

June book: A Private Man, by Malcolm Knox. Animated discussion for this one.

Met at Jane's place. Great hospitality - semolina cake a hit! Good roll up - had to add an extra leaf to the table.

Next books. Quick decision that the Miles Franklin winner, Andrew McGahan's The White Earth is to be our July Book, at Stella's place. Remember Praise - very controversial. We'll have fun revisitng McGahan.

Took much longer to decide on the August book: Marilyn Wiggins: The Evidence of Things Unseen. At Moy's house.

Meeting in the holidays for a film undecided as yet: Monday 11th June. Contact Sue or Ros.

Please write in when you find the books and where and what you think of them.
