The English Patient (1992) by Michael Ondaatje

On Thursday 6th September 2018 we discussed Robin’s selections …

BOOK: The English Patient (1992) by Michael Ondaatje
MUSIC: Robin’s “Summertime” playlist 
FILM: Shutter Island (1994) directed by Martin Scorsese

Robin - loved the book

Robin loved the book. Keith less so. Nick thought it was amazing. Tristan, likewise, was most impressed, Nigel found it a bit of chore, whilst acknowledging its cleverness, and Roland labelled it a snooze fest

Tristan 9/10 - Nick 10/10 - Keith 6/10 - Roland 5/10 - Nigel 6/10 - Robin 9/10




The music was a Summer playlist compiled by DJ Robin. All found it most enjoyable despite a few  bizarre inclusions.

Sadly Robin was not able to provide a DVD for the group to watch so not everyone had seen it. Robin (from memory) was gripped, Tristan deemed it ham fisted.

And finally here's what we're endorsing...

Idles (Punk group)
End of the Road Festival 2018
Wanderlust (BBC TV)
Venice - the place
Nick Harkaway 'Noon" (book)
Christopher Isherwood - Mr Norris Changes Trains (book)
Hamilton (musical)
Coasteering (kamikaze activity done on Cornish cliffs)
Sexy Beast (film)
Thomas More (historical figure)

See you next time
