Virtual Readers Group
ok ... so the plan is ... we choose a book ... something newly published or whatever ...
those who want to take part buy it ... (from the bookplace ... natch) ...
then we read it and discuss it ...
the beauty of an online readers group is that we can discuss it as we are going along ...
anyone up for it?

I would challenge anyone not to like the short story about the 'exterminator', though some of the rest are a bit hit and miss, not up to Gaiman's usual work. Worth a try though.
Emily Dubberley
the rewriting of 'Snow White' is great too (although my favourite one is the one about the computer game - think it's called 'The Virus' from memory - as it's chillingly real...)
fish
any more of this and we wont need to buy it! ... andrew has put me off already ...
Emily Dubberley
sorry :-(
*mouth firmly zipped*
Arv D

James Andrews
I'm game, but please don't shoot me.

I'll re-read it...which involves trying to find it in the mess of my bedroom. Probably more of a challenge than finding it in a bookshop.
