Book Club

We have a thriving book-club, which meets in the coffee-lounge of the church, approximately once a month, to discuss a chosen book. At the meeting, we have a free and  open discussion about the book selected for reading. Refreshments, wine and soft drinks, contributed by the members, are on offer to assist the discussion! Books are chosen randomly from proposals by members, and most are available to borrow via our group-library-membership.

There is no charge for membership; anyone with a love of books and reading is most welcome, and membership of the group is not limited to church-members. Everyone is welcome.

We do not exercise any restriction of the type of book selected; recent selections have been:

"The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas," by John Boyne;

"The Alchemist," by Paul Coelho;

"Conversations with God," by Neale Donald Walsch;

"My Sister's Keeper," by Jodi Piccoult;

"Holy Fools," by Joanne Harris;

"The Memory Stone," by Kate O'Riordan;

"The Two of Us," by Sheila Hancock;

"Brick Lane," by Monica Ali;

Mary Anne," by Daphne Du Maurier.

"Mother, can you hear me" by Margaret Forster

"The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro

Dates and times of future meetings and books selected are:

Monday 24th November - "Staying on" by Paul Scott

If you would like to join us, please feel free to turn up to a meeting, or, if you would like further information, contact Jeff Gould, our Minister.
