Susan, although a passionate reader and book lover, had
never been a member of a book group, and although several
of the members had been, we are finding our way as we go
along. We are a cosmopolitan and metropolitan group — this
is Islington, after all — comprising singles,
grandmothers, divorcées, and including, inter alia,
lawyers, journalists, teachers, one Scot, one Australian
and one South African. Now in its sixth year, nothing
significant has changed regarding format and style, and
most of the original members are still in the group.
Every month a member chooses a book, which is agreed by
the group, and leads the discussion on her choice; books
are chosen a month or two in advance so that members can
plan their reading. We have decided that no choice should
exceed 500 pages and we also generally stick to books
which are available in paperback.
Most of our choices have been fiction, with an occasional non-fiction title, mostly biography.
Book Group 6 is not currently looking for new members.
