Book Club 1
----- Welcome to the Book Club 1 page!
Normally we meet from 2 to 4 pm on the 4th Thursday of each month in different members' homes and take turns in selecting three titles for the group to choose from. We usually choose books a month early so that if you have more time in one month you can get ahead if you want to. It also gives time to reserve the book from the library.
If you click on the 'Reading List' link, you can see what we've read since the group started in 2014, and the choices for the next couple of months. You can choose whatever format suits you - download it, order a copy from your local library or buy/borrow a paperback. Abebooks, Amazon and charity shops have been used by members to buy books reasonably cheaply; it is well worth shopping around.
The aim of our book club is to enjoy discussing the month's book, have fun, and sometimes learn more about real events too. We also get to know each other better, through discussing the views in the books and where we stand on different issues, and chatting over tea or coffee.
At the U3A General Meetings we host a free "Paperback Book Swap" table. You can find something new to read, or donate something that you've enjoyed from your own collection (or even something that you didn't!). Often we have plenty of books, and you can take one without bringing a swap; you're very welcome to browse.
In March we will meet to discuss 'The Beekeeper of Aleppo' by Christy Lefteri.
The book for April is 'The Colour Purple' by Alice Walker.
