KateG you will be next,we have until the 23rd of June for the next choice. I will PM you a couple of days before on the 20th of June to ask you your choice and then announce it on the 23rd. Apologies to Beetzart for rushing him abit but thankfully he came up with a choice very fast. thanks to Beetzart for his choice of book

[Munchroom]

Aces... I read and loved 1984, so am looking forward to his one :)

[Zaf]

Animal farm made me sad, didnt get on with 1984 so not sure what I'll think of this one - I should probably read both the others again as it was early teens when I read them both

[Maddymoo]

I have actually never read a George Orwell book, how un-cultured am I?!

[mrmoody]

well Maddy after book club your going to be one of the most cultured people around lol!

[Beetzart]

I don't know how much I can say really, but the briefest synopsis I can give is that it is tragic, and I'm sure people here will relate to the protagonist.  I am looking forward to reading it again though.

[Maddymoo]

:) I'm looking forward to it :) I'm more of a Stephen King addict so it's about time I had a change!

[XSqueakX]

I've never read any of his books either should be interesting

[Ezel]

Will get to read one of his books I haven't read yet 

[whiteadder]

Good choice Beetzart, am looking forward to reading that. Hopefully can get it on Kindle. Have read a few Orwells but not this one.

Cheaper as a paperback though - it really irritates me that kindle editions attract VAT 

[mrmoody]

whats Kindle like? I dont like the look of it, I prefer the feel of a book. Maybe like Ipad and Iphone my reluctance to embrace new technology means I miss out. Cost is often prohibitive but also the fact that I often refuse to give in to the 'latest thing' when all seems about consumerism. Maybe my cynicism means I am missing out on some nifty gadgets

[Zaf]

Its definitely not the same as a real book but the aspect I like is that it stores a huge amount of books.  I got an ipad to enable me to work at home but it has other uses
