Next Meeting/House of Leaves
Posted in Uncategorized by Seth on the May 27th, 2009

Hey all. Many thanks for those who attended the Valley of the Dolls book group, we had a fun discussion, both of its campy and more serious themes. If anyone wants to discuss it in further depth or talk about something we didn’t cover at the group then feel free to start a discussion below.

The next book we chose was House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It’s a very scary post-modern (post-post-modern?) haunted house book, with the twist being that it purports to be based on a real event. Think The Blair Witch Project crossed with an academic documentary.

So the next book is House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, with the group meeting to discuss it on 24th June, in Taurus Bar on Canal st. at 5.30.

Happy reading!

Valley of the Dolls
Posted in Uncategorized by Seth on the May 2nd, 2009

The Jurassic Park meeting was a lark. Thanks to everyone who came and bantered good-naturedly about a cloned dinosaur theme park…. who says sci-fi can’t be high literature!

The next book we decided on is Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. Much pill-popping abounds.

Ok so it’s not exactly sci-fi horror or fantasy but it’s a cult calssic and enough people wanted to read it.

So the next meeting will be on 27th May, at 5.30, at Taurus Bar on Canal St.
