Paperback or ebook for The Prairie? I tend to go for paper when I want to slow down with a book.

Grainne, a book-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

The Prairie is one I am weighing up. Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.

Oisin, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

For anyone considering The Prairie: This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.
