Guardian Book Club

John Mullan, Professor of English at UCL, will be discussing Flaubert's Parrot with Julian Barnes on Monday October 3 in the Newsroom, 60 Farringdon Road at 6:30. To book call 020 7886 9281 or email bookclub@guardian.co.uk. Mullan's weekly column in The Guardian provides a service to reading groups by discussing a novel over a 4-week period - as he says, "you do not necessarily know what you think of a book until you have heard what others think".
