Just a reminder that you can see what readalongs are already planned in the "Upcoming Monthly Reads" folder.

What do you have in mind?"
I will probably think of a few when the time comes.
awesome Alannah. Leslie and I are planning one for the end of March for Little Men. You guys are welcome to join us for that one.
Would anyone else like a readalong of The Deptford Trilogy later in the year? I'm asking now, because I have some spare credits with audible, so will use them to get the three books if others are interested
Gill wrote: "Would anyone else like a readalong of The Deptford Trilogy later in the year? I'm asking now, because I have some spare credits with audible, so will use them to get the three books i..."It sounds really interesting but I am afraid to add any more 700+ page reads to this year...
I'm intending to read Landscapes of the Metropolis of Death: Reflections on Memory and Imagination, at stage between now and the end of April. Is anyone interested in reading it? It's a short book, about 130 pages. However I'm sure there is a lot to discuss.

Gill, I would love to read The Deptford Trilogy: Fifth Business, The Manticore, and World of Wonders with you. Just name the date. I have my own copy of this and it will be a reread--something I don't normally do but for rare exceptions like this one. I have never known anyone who shares my passion for Davies, so this will be a real treat for me!

I wouldn't want to start till July or August. Would that suit you OK? I'll be using audio, so it might be quite a slow read/listen for me.

Just to whet your appetite(!) Chapter 10 is entitled 'In search of history and memory'.
Gill and Jenny: I would have loved to join in the readalong. But then my hands are full at the moment. Have a great time.

I will try and it will be nice too.

Gill, July or August would suit me fine. I own a copy so any time at all will work for me.

I would like to join this read. Mid July works for me as well.

I'm planning to read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins this month. Just wondering if anyone would like to join me?
I've read that one last year Charbel and really enjoyed it. Hope you do too!!
Charbel wrote: "I'm planning to read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins this month. Just wondering if anyone would like to join me?"Great book Charbel, but I read it too recently to want to reread it just yet.
@ CharbelI have already started with that book. I'm a veeerry slow reader, so my progress is XI so far.
Great novel, but I can't fit in a reread at the moment either - sorry Charbel! I think Tracey's only just read it, and it's one of Laura's favourites too if I remember rightly, so you'll have lots of us to compare notes with afterwards though :)
Charbel wrote: "I'm planning to read The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins this month. Just wondering if anyone would like to join me?"It's on my "to read" list and I'm booting out some books I was planning to read so I would be interested in reading it.
I'd love to join in with The Woman in White, but won't be able to squeeze it in until at least May/June as I have so much to read this month.
Mod
Not at all. I have exams so for now it might be better to stick with "smaller" books.
A really great book. I will follow your discussion with interest but I've read fairly recently
Mod
Great, any date after the 22nd May is fine by me. Let me know what dates suit you two. :)
After 22nd May works for me....perhaps early June?
Mod
Great!
I'm planning on reading Our Man in Havana towards the end of the year, probably November. I know Jean' s interested, and also I think Laura. Is anyone else interested?
Mod
Count me in! Looks interesting.
Mod
Anyone else interested?

I have it from the library, so I would be happy to join in
Mod
Just read a couple of months ago; great book!
Ah great, now I've got two good recommendations! Thanks Laura.

I should be good for this read in September.
Roderick wrote: "If anyone is interested in reading The Shock of the Fall let me know. I will be reading it soon."I don't know if I can join you soon, but I've requested it from my library (Where the Moon Isn't version).
Mod
Anyne else interested?
Jenny, can you write it on the "summing up" list?
@Cathie, I've ordered it, so should be a week or so before I get it. Let me know.I'm a "maybe" on "The Sea, the Sea" as October might be busy. It did win the Man Booker prize.

I am interested so can I join ? I've read A severed Head way back ad I'd like to try her out again.
