We are reading the Booker Prize winners in backward chronological order.
The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, also known in short as the Booker Prize, is a literary prize awarded each year for the best original full-length novel, written in the English language, by a citizen of either the Commonwealth of Nations (most of them formerly parts of the British Empire) or Ireland. For more information about the Booker Prize winners, see: http://www.themanbookerprize.com/prize/archive
We meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 7:30 PM at the Starbucks at Paoli Station. Please bring a $2-3 donation to defray the costs of administering the meetup site.
