December's Book Choices

Thank you for all your "favourite" submissions! I have drawn the lucky winner's out of the hat, which are..

"Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami 

And

"The Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger

I would like to focus more on Norwegian Wood but by all means if you have time to read them both for January's meeting (no December meeting scheduled) please do! 

I will issue the books in November's meeting (please see previous post for details).

Happy reading!
