BookClub on the big screen

Vally hosted the first BookClub goes to the Movies last Saturday 18th April. After lunch, we all settled down to watch 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' on the big screen. The movie was directed by Clint Eastwood and based on the book by journalist John Berendt. It was a true story based on the time the journalist spent in Savannah, Georgia and the characters he met there like the man walking the invisible dog, the sentimental gentleman who plays the piano and hosts parties that last all day and all night, the voodoo lady and of course the man in the mansion. We all agreed that John Cusack was well cast and the movie was both eccentric and quirky.

Looking forward to the next meeting ladies - we just need to decide on a book! Any suggestions?
Also for the next meeting, I came across 21 BookClub Tips on the Ennis Bookclub Festival and think it might be fun to answer some of the questions, go to the website and click on the link to 21 Bookclub Tips at the end of the page:
