'We're investigating things - have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?"
Had a fun evening last Thursday at Book Addicts: a book group at Wigmore library in Luton. The Ascent of Isaac Steward was on the menu together with tea, coffee and biscuits - writing is so rock 'n' roll !
It was the first time I've been invited to a book group and enjoyed answering questions like, Did I hate Punch & Judy? How can a lawnmower made out of cakes work? Have you any idea why a raven is like a writing desk?
Was surprised that it is the only evening bookgroup in Luton - on the radar anyway. With a population of around 240 thousand in the area you'd think they'd be quite a few. Perhaps they're all meeting in secret in the woods reading Lewis Carroll books.
