The following reading list has been chosen from what was available to book in the next few months from the Herefordshire Libraries readers' groups book sets. (You may notice the authors are in alphabetical order, I just put forward suggestions and booked what was available) Hope there's something in here for everyone, so to speak, or that the titles might challenge us to read outside our comfort zones, in a good way! Some titles like The Catcher in the Rye might seem a bit obvious, but if something is regarded as a classic it's always worth returning to and maybe re-evaluating. There are a couple that I've read and wouldn't mind reading again, one that I'm not sure I want to read again, but it got such rave reviews I might change my mind, and a couple I've never read at all, so it will be an interesting few reading months ahead I think. So from July we've got:

July: Lionel Shriver, We Need to Talk About Kevin
Sept: Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary
Oct: Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin
Nov: Peter Carey, The True History of the Kelly Gang
Dec: Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier
Jan: Iris Murdoch, The Sea, The Sea
Feb: Joseph O'Connor, Star of the Sea
March: J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
