Suzanne's inaugural LGAG - two new members in two meetings! It felt like we were getting some momentum, though life has a habit of getting in the way and this was no exception. Our next meeting (fingers crossed) will be March 3rd 2020.
The venue was most appropriate, the food was tasty and the table was surrounded on three sides by banquette, which made for convivial conversation.
The book was well received - novel and well-written - although the ending divided people. It seems I was alone in finding the whole concept horrifying (imaginative, well-written, compelling but horrifying). Are we really aware we are dead for over 10 minutes, alone with our thoughts and the knowledge that it is all over, just wondering if and when we'll be found. That time to consider, reminisce, regret seems horrendous and still haunts me.
