One very funny book and one on a more serious subject this month!

'Naked' by David Sedaris and 'The Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens. 

'Naked' is, according to the blurb on the back, 'A riotous collection of memoirs that explores the absurd hilarity of modern life and creates a wickedly incisive portrait of an all-too-familiar world. It takes Sedaris from his humiliating bout with obsessive behaviour in 'A Plague of Tics' to the title story, where he is finally forced to face his naked self in the company of lunatics.'

'A Tale of Two Cities' is set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution and starts with the famous line 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ...'

Next meeting Friday 27th March.
