I realise we have an AW book club, but this thread isn't intended to be about any one particular book or author, so figured it would fit here.
Anyhoo, I thought it would be interesting to discuss the books we're reading just now or have just started reading, and what we can take or learn from each to improve our own writing, concentrating on the positive aspects of each book. Even the worst book ever written must be able to teach us something - even how we don't want to write!
I've just got Pat Barker's Regeneration from my local library and cannot believe I didn't realise it features two of my favourite poets as main characters - boy do I feel daft! I've never even picked up the book before, so don't know what made me do so today. I can already tell I'm going to enjoy it.
So. What about you?
