Hi, would like to hear more about the Singapore book club. I was born in Singapore but lived in the USA.

Singapore Literary Fiction Book Club for Pithy Generalists - search for it on Facebook. Here are the first five books: * Evening is the Whole Day - Preeta Samarasan * Partisan's Daughter - Louis de Bernieres * Netherland: A Novel - Joseph O'Neill * The Girl from Foreign - Sadia Shepard (a memoir, but sounds narrative enough to sneak in) * The End of Sleep - Rowan Somerville
