Book group 'Come for the cake - and stay for the books!' (LIT 05)

  • Day and time: 3rd Monday of the month (this will sometimes fall just outside U3AC terms) 14:15 - 15:45
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (3 Weeks), Spring (3 Weeks), Summer (3 Weeks)
  • Number of places: 14
  • Start date: 20 October 2025
  • Description:

    We aim to enjoy a wide range of books and then share views and ideas about them together. We will usually read fiction, usually modern (20th and 21st century) and in English, or English translation, but members of the group will be asked for suggestions of titles they would like to read. It is anticipated that anyone suggesting a book would introduce it (briefly) but this is not compulsory. Reading books which we may never have chosen ourselves usually sparks lively and fun discussions with differing views shared. We start each session with refreshments that members of the group help to organise. The first book we will talk about will be announced once we receive the class list.
