Wrap-up of last meeting

Well there were massive thumbs up for our last book: Never Let Me Go.

Here is a quote I posted on my other blog:

From Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go:

"When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. More scientific, efficient, yes. More cures for old sicknesses. Very good. But a harsh, cruel world. And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It wasn't really you, what you were doing, I know that. But I saw you and it broke my heart. And I've never forgotten."

And here are some pics from the November meeting.
