Just finished this month's book for my postal reading group

[This is a cool concept, actually: there are 12 members and at the beginning of the year (which for us, is October) everyone chooses a book (someone coordinates, to ensure no duplicates - best if it's someone outside the group), which they have read & commented on in a small notebook, puts it & the notebook in an envelope and sends it to the person who is next on the list after themselves. We all read the book we have received, comment on it and on the 1st of the next month, send it to the next person, and so on. So you receive a book once a month, have a month to read & comment on it before sending it on, and at the end of the year, you get your own book back, with comments from all the others. We're in our second year now.]

anyway, my book this month was "If no one speaks of remarkable things" by Jon Macgregor, which I highly recommend. Excellent.
