Reading Group
What a successful first meeting we had! Ten of us turned up, male and female, not all having completed Jennifer Donnelly’s “The Gathering Light” but that didn’t affect the quality of the discussion, which ranged far and wide. All those who read the book had found it an easy read, had enjoyed reading it, and had quite a lot to say about it.
It stimulated comments and parallels from different times and afforded some surprises. All in all, a good couple of hours of interesting, focused conversation, encouraging one and all to do it again.
We agreed that the first Wednesday in the month is as good a day as any and have planned the next three meetings.
- 1st December: The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown
- 5th January: Brick Lane by Monica Ali
- 2nd February: He Knew He Was Right by Anthony Trollope
If you would like to join us feel free to do so. The next meeting will be at the same venue, the Matheson’s home, Kent House on the High St, at 8 o’clock.
