Book group 4 (LIT 04)

  • Day and time: 1st Wednesday (this might vary slightly) of the month 10:30 - 12:00
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (3 Weeks), Spring (4 Weeks), Summer (4 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 9
  • Start date: 05 October 2022
  • Description:

    Each member will pick a book of fiction (available in paperback) and lead the discussion. We will start in October with my choice of "Shuggie Bain" by Douglas Stuart. Hopefully, this will provide an example of how to proceed in terms of discussing a novel, analysing setting, character, plot, language, theme/s, critical reception and personal opinion. The latter is the most important and should lead to lively debate.

  • Format: Discussion

  • Leader: Ann Dewar
  • I used to be an English teacher and all my life have been a voracious reader. To discuss the books afterwards is the icing on the cake.
