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:

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
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
Atonement by Ian McEwan
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
The Human Stain by Philip Roth
Unless by Carol Shields
Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes
Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman
Our Mutual Friend by Charles Dickens

 

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.
