Well, that was interesting! As ever, Bookclub threw up some interesting discussion points. The Day of the Triffids was a surprising hit with a number of people liking both its genetically modified crops plot and its local setting (Devizes!). Running Girl was also a popular choice although there were a few dissenting voices. The most contentious book was Marcus Sedgwick's She is Not Invisible which seemed to be rather a 'Marmite' book - a number of people found the ending rather disappointing. As for next term's book, try out some of these. It is a bit of a mixture of modern and classics.
