So the next meeting of the Brighton Book Club is on march 3rd, in about three and a half days, and initially i was going to skip it for next month, give myself time to actually read the book. But in a wash of enthusiasm to actually get on with the tricky and terrifying job of meeting new people in my new town, I thought I would press on, scarf down the book in 3 days and venture out to meet strangers on wednesday.
At 3pm on sunday I headed off to the north laine to hunt down either a library copy or a second hand copy, but everyone was out. Reluctantly I had to buy a new copy from waterstones. 276 pages in three days - not impossible but am a bit trepidatious.
And here I am getting started in the Red Veg cafe - oh its so puzzling!
