Turn onto Becklow Road from Askew road.
Turn right soon through the large gates immediately after the shops.
Go to the carpark and there will be a left hand gate by a courtyard.
Straight to the security door '19-22'.

Any problems call my landline on 020 8743 0036 .

Supplies:

Bring a few fillings each. and if there is a particular bread you need also - I will have bloomer, rye, pain de levain, 8-grain.

See you then!

All of those are currently good for me atm.

all doable, pref 22nd. if this is a sandwich meet, will there be victoria sandwich for deseret?

Hi all, I've only just joined this group. I could only make the 15th out of those dates, as I'll be away for the others, but as I don't even know yet whether I'll be able to fit the book in before I go don't feel constrained by me. I have a feeling I might only be able to get into it properly with the next book, but I'll try my best!

we're doing bukowski? wow, right after hemmingway?!! maybe some of the ladies in this group wanna push for a less sexist author for next time...

on a scale of 1 to 10(max), how adventurous would u like the sandwiches to get?

Teddy, funny you should say that - the first two books were both suggested by women :-)

Wolf I want sandwiches that sound completely wrong but taste utterly amazing

Peanutbutter and Banana.

I need to buy this book soon, why is it not cheap anywhere?

@ teddy - Women love a bastard.
Are all the authors going to be modern and American aswel?
I WAS considering Kurt Vonnegut, but I shall switch continents.

Books:
1 - Kattt - A Farewell to Arms
2 - Clefty - Ham on Rye
3 - ???? - ???? can't wait.

hello everyone i have just joined have read farewell to arms although some time ago cheerful stuff i think i preferred for whom the bell tolls .
i also enjoyed most of the Steinbeck i read particularly Cannery Rw and Sweet Thursday

Hola. Prefer 22nd or 29th for a bit of reading time :)

can't do the 29th, i will be in krakow :-D

15th or 22nd work for me.

what is weird about a peanut butter and banana sandwich?

how about a pittsburgh sandwich? god bless pennsylvania.

I was born in Pittsburgh - that's what I get for leaving early to go back to Texas. Still, I'll take my Mexican food addiction any day.

Must buy book. End of month is better for me really.

Peanut Butter, Banana and Honey. FTW!

teddy - oddly enough both books were chosen by women... hum.

i can only do the 15th, i'm in portugal on the 29th and 22nd going to see who framed roger rabbit at the bfi! or i can turn up at 4 on the 22nd.

avocado. anything with avocado. or halloumi. damn i'm hungry.

dates:
me - any date (desperately single atmo)
clefty - any date
seriously wolf - any date
oliver - 15th
Mattty - 22nd / 29th
kattt - 15th / 22nd
aroogah - end of month better (I haven't bought it either Chris!)
Fluff- 15th or 4pm on 22nd

OK - based on the above, I say 22nd.

I know it is not very much time if you are a slow careful reader, but hey, lets not drag this out too much!

Oliver -sorry to lose you this time.. I assumed that you would be busy saving the world!

p.s. - Velocio has converted this into a forum for some reason (guinea pigs!) - so you can navigate here via categories > social group forums > book club, or the usual way.

whoa.***

mmmmm

hi, i'm a sandwich!

LFGSS knitting club is that way <<

I'm about 10 pages from the end, so I'm switching my vote to 15th March. Very fast book to read!

Oh, and for the next book, I'm recommending Pynchon's "The Crying of Lot 49". Awesome book. Quite short.

yes it is! i studied it for some weird ghosts and technology in modern american literature module at uni. if we do i'm going to get out my old notes and sound WELL clever.

i still haven't bought the book. has anyone finished and can lend me tomorrow on the ride?

k

hey hey. would people be ok with a slightly later start to accommodate me and my cinema going? katt suggested 4-8pm, but might that be too late?

totally not going to sulk if you all hate the idea. i'll just show up late.

Ah, I've only just discovered how to subscribe to the discussion in the social forum. I subscribed to it when it was a normal forum thread, but that apparently got cancelled when it was re-converted.

Yes, sorry, I won't be able to make the 22nd. Have fun!

@ fluff / kattt - 3:30-9pm is cool with me. I can stay late coz I'm already at home!
Sorry again oliver.

I need to buy this book today. really. must.
