Bookclub: The winning book to read during October is

The Remains of the Day

It came in a clear winner with 8 votes. I'm really looking forward to this book.

The Wayfarer King came second and Flatlands - A Romance of Many Dimensions third. These books will go through to next month's poll.

(I'm posting this a day early as my broadband is down at home at the moment, so have to do this at work).

You read the book during October (or whatever month we are in). on the 1st of the next month (in this case November), I will open a Discussion thread where we discuss the book. (you will see I have just opened the Discussion thread for the Cornerstone, which was the September read).

Happy reading Kindle Smile

Thank you, Suzanne. I've started reading, 'The Remains of the Day' - hope I can remember enough when it comes to November!
