There were loads of laughter, intellectual debate, and something for the stomach - supply of good drinks and delicious cakes from Starbucks.



And before we knew it, one hour of discussion came to an end much too soon. The allocated time was simply not enough!.

We talked about the emotions, intelligence, plots, interesting characters, writing style, parenting style, and even Mark Haddon the writer.

Reflections were made on how differently we all perceived life. The group gamely drew their perceptions on a piece of paper and simply described their thoughts and expressions freely -- and we discovered many artistic talents.



As levels of enthusiasm and energy were high, we were all inspired to commit to another round of discussion at a later date. The chosen book is "To Kill A Mockingbird".

NOTE: The staff also welcome members of the public to join in their discussion. Please email us for enquiries.
