**DATE CHANGE - NOW ON 21ST AUGUST DUE TO ROOM AVAILABILITY**
The Fraud had a mixed response - possibly brilliant but possibly let down by its episodic structure and lack of focus. It was also brain-meltingly hot so that might have impacted our rate of finishers.
Book for next time is The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth. Runners up included:
Growth of the Soil by Knut Hamsun
Material World by Ed Conway
I'm a Fan by Sheena Patel
My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgård
No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe
The Salt Path by Raynor Winn (weirdly got no votes)
Next meeting will be on the 21st of August in the Effra Social from 7.30ish. (Book chat from 8, but give yourself time to get a drink, chair)
And just to note - we will be discussing our long read: 11.22.63 by Stephen King on September 11th.
I'm off to dip my feet in the paddling pool.
Also check out other Meetups in London, Trips & Adventurous Activities in London.
