Rowena | 97 comments Is anyone interested in reading The Sacred and Profane Love Machine? I have a copy of this book and would love to read it in the new year.

I plan to read The Bell and A Severed Head sometime this year, if not other Murdochs.

Sacred and Profane Love Machine would also work!

The two you mentioned sound really good. Count me in!

BrokenTune | 17 comments This sounds like fun. I have a stack of her novels that I picked from a second hand bookshop. I'm not sure which titles they are but I'm sure A Severed Head is amongst them. Not sure about The Sacred and Profane Love Machine - but I'll check when I get back home.

Please count me in for any of them.

When works for everyone? And which Murdoch shall we start with?

Yolande  (sirus) I also have an Iris Murdoch that I got from a second hand store but don't remember which one it was. I will check when I return home and might join on.

Russell | 44 comments I just looked at my shelf and saw that I now have accumulated 6 Murdochs, and haven't read a single one! The shame! Are we looking at A Severed Head to start with? Funnily enough, I have that one.

A Severed Head to start with works for me.

When seems to work for others?


message 11: by Rowena (new)

Rowena | 97 comments My library has quite a large selection of Murdoch books, including A Severed Head, so I wouldn't mind starting with that one. Any time from February onwards works for me.

I will probably read The Sacred and Profane Love Machine later on in the year if anyone would like to join me.

Russell | 44 comments I'll join you for The Scared and Profane Love Machine as well as hitting up A Severed Head, Rowena. Do we want to hit up ASH in Feb.?

Hi Russell,

Great:) ASH in February it is then. Would you like to read TSAPLM in March (or whenever others would like to read it too, I'm flexible)?
