August sees the book group reading Aldous Huxley's Island (1962). Island was Huxley's last novel, in which a cynical journalist, Will Farnaby, is shipwrecked on the fictional Buddhist island of Pala. The book group will meet on Sunday 2nd August at The Known World bookshop (Sturt Street) at 2.00pm. The book has been reprinted many times and is widely available (the gorgeous Castlemaine bookshop has several new editions). Please direct inquiries to Alice Mills or Jane Mummery.

And this was a very enjoyable discussion, although I figure I'll look a lot like Huxley when I stagger through a chunk of Joyce's Ulysses for the September meeting.
