February meeting - April book: The Theatre of War: What Ancient Greek tragedies can teach us today.

February meeting at Sue E's place was well attended. Only apologies were from Maggie - birthday celebration - Jane - Canberra for family obligation and Pat R - in the midst of house sales.

After last meeting, it was good to hear that everyone had read the book, Charlotte Wood's The Natural Way of Things, and generally declared it an interesting and well written book. Even Ros loved it, for the raw anger that poured out of it. We got straight into discussion and didn't stray too far away for hours! A book we will be recommending to friends and family.

There were several contenders considered for the April book and finally we decided on the well-reviewed The Theater of War: What ancient Greek tragedies can teach us today, by Bryan Doerries.
Stella will host the April book and Margaret has put up her hand for June. No decision yet for May.
