The Reading Group
A lively inaugural meeting, the discussion sparked by a wide range of books,
not always well remembered, and lubricated by wine and nibbles. The idea for
this meeting was to share what people had been reading over the summer and to
decide on what we're going to read next. And what a variety had been read:
fictional, factual, historical, a mixture of all three, as well as lighter
summer afternoon reads. We decided to do a quickie for November followed by a
meatier one for December because of the timing of The Crier related to our
meetings. However availability of copies at the library have slightly amended
this.
So the programme is as follows:
Wednesday 4th November: The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant
a book set at the end of Medici era in Italy; Wednesday 2nd December: The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown his latest blockbuster.
Margaret will collect books from the library as they are ready and distribute them, (let her know if you want a copy, tel: 744390). The next meeting will be held at Caroline's, Kent House at 8 o'clock. All are welcome.
PS. The Lost Symbol is still difficult to obtain! We may need to choose another book for December.
