After a hiatus of a few months, we met last week after reading The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay by @MichaelChabon. We discussed escapism, moving house and being bored of reading novels set in New York. Our next novel is Slags, by Emma Jane Unsworth, and was recommended by a friend.

We met last night to discuss The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem. The reviews are in: perhaps they should have named the book 'The Fortress of Squalid Dudes' #bookclub
