I think it would be great to go see the play. Rebecca watched an old tv version on you tube, but I think i'd rather see it on stage! Looking forward to seeing you all on tuesday, complete with baubles!

What a coincidence - let's do it!

I just saw what pencil lead posted - and I think it would be swell to go and see the play of a book we just read (or half way through it as it is my case)... who is is?

Hi Everyone

I thought that the info below was quite topical. I also noticed that there is an exhibition on Nephretiti at the Art and History Museum until Feb.

Great blog!

I just wanted to say that I too think that the blog is excellent.....well done Maria. I hope that we will all get used to using it..... may take a bit of practice.

Thanks Jess for a great evening the other night. I hope that you are doing OK and not too jet lagged (and that your arms are back in working order). Always great to catch up with all of you.

I look forward to our next meeting.

A+

January's Reading Choices

Our choices for January were:

*Jose Saramago's "Seeing"

*Nick Drake's "Nefertiti" and

*France's Itani "Deafening"

after a lot of adding and subtracting... the majority voted:

• Nerfertiti by Nick Drake
  

here is a review published in Amazon:

"In his first ever book Nick Drake lead the readers to the heart of it all: the court of Akhenaten and Nefertiti and its dangerous power struggles. Nick Drake puts his fictional character Rahotep into this world of Pharaoh's court and he has to solve the great mystery which turned out to be of very different nature as expected. It is strong plot, bold of characterisation, adventure and dazzling evocation of the past. The description of the ceremonies is brilliant. It is excellently plotted and superbly entertaining: in this short a page turner of first order. I am looking forward to the next book by Nick Drake!!
