We are keen to attract new members and welcome all suggestions for suitable books to share in discussion. Novels tend to be the core of our reading but non-fiction, biography, autobiography, diaries, plays, children's books and poetry can also provide promising material for lively interchanges of views.

Copies are available from Braintree library.
