Once again, it's been a privilege to share the reading of a fine novel with you all. Your impressions of The Chidren Act have been so enlightening! I particularly enjoyed your analysis of Fiona and her complex role as a judge confronting “the abyss of freedom” or Life at its purest.
The next book we’ll be reading is perhaps less complex but it is equally enthralling. Roald Dahl’s Tales of the Unexpected is a collection of stories that will amuse, amaze and even terrify you.
We have picked the following five tales and will discuss their significance on April, 22nd:
Hope to see
you on April 22nd at 6:30 pm in the library (Sar). Happy reading!

Thank you for a very stimulating meeting last Friday. I found your thoughts and impressions about And The Mountains Echoed really interesting! It was a pleasure and a privilege to share the reading of the book with you all.
The next book we’ll talk about is Ian McEwan’s The Children Act, a thought-provoking story about a high
court judge who finds her world disrupted by a life-or-death decision.
The meeting will take place on
Friday, March 4 at 6:30pm in the library (Sar).
Remember that participation
is limited to the first 18 students who sign up here.

Our first meeting this academic year (2021-22) will be held at the library of the IES de Sar on Friday, November 26.
We won't have a specific book to discuss. Instead, we will talk about our expectations for the club, exhange book recommendations and get informed about the dates and times of this academic year's book club meetings.
Participation is limited to the first 18 students who sign up. If you want to join the meeting, sign up here.
Hope to see you on November 26. Save the date!
Candela Vidal, one of our dear bookclubbers, has written an excellent review of the last book we discussed: The Catcher in the Rye.
Dear Bookworms,
Click on the image below and download a worksheet with some discussion questions that may enrich your reading of The Catcher in the Rye.
They say that a book shared is a pleasure doubled. I would say that pleasure was tripled when we discussed Never Let Me Go last Friday. Once again, thanks for your great contributions!
Our next book also has a teenager as its narrator and main character. J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most widely read and beloved of all contemporary American novels, credited with instilling in many of us a lifelong love of reading.
Dear Bookworms,
Hope you are enjoying Never Let Me Go. Here's a worksheet with quotes and some discussion questions that might enlighten your reading. Click on the image below to download it.
We can have the worksheet at hand in case our meeting does not run smoothly but, given how eagerly you intervened in previous discussions, I'm sure that won't be the case.
Hope to see you in my Webex room next Friday at 7pm!
Dear Bookworms,
I wanted to thank you for
your participation in our book club meeting this evening. I found your thoughts
and impressions about The Kite Runner so interesting and eye-opening! It
was a real pleasure to discuss the book with you all.
The next book we’ll be
reading is Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, a dystopian novel, at once amazingly tender and morally corageous, about what it means to be human.
Remember that if you want to
attend our next meeting, you need to sign up here. Participation is limited to
the first 15 students who sign up.
Once you’ve signed up, go to
