The Reading Circle


We welcome people who love reading and want to share their love, whether they are full of opinions or want to develop some.

Most of what we read is contemporary, almost always novels, but we occasionally include poetry or biography, and each year we cover one classic.

If you live in the region, join us, any time. But try to make our October meeting: that's when we draw up a list of books for the rest of the season.

 

Some of the books we have discussed in the past are:

When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson
The White Tiger by Aravind Adigo
The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett
Arthur and George by Julia Barnes
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain
Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
Falling Angels by Tracy Chevalier
Troubles by J G Farrell
Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy
Some of Chekov's short stories
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

When and where to find us


We meet during term-time, at 7.30 on the second Tuesday of the month at the University of Northampton, Park Campus, Boughton Green Road. Click on the road and campus maps in the left-hand column for precise details.
