Hagbourne Book Group - Update April 2008
Formed by a group of avid readers and due to an increase of members, the Hagbourne Book Group has now formed a second group. Each Group meets in a member’s house to discuss the latest book.
For details of each group please see below.
Our choice of books is wide and eclectic, and discussions have sometimes been quite animated, but always amicable. We often use the following websites as a guide to provide a structure for our discussion: www.amazon.com, www.amazon.co.uk, readers.penguin.co.uk, www.bloomsburymagazine.com.
Hagbourne Book Club – GROUP 1
We meet on the first Monday of the month. Email: Alice Smith or Tel: 813393
GROUP 1 - 2008 Book Reading List
- May: "Keeping the world away" – Margaret Foster.
- June: "The Secret Agent" – Joseph Conrad. (1907)
- July: "Saving the fish from drowning" – Amy Tan.
- Sept: "A prayer for Owen Meany" – John Irving.
- Oct: "The Road" – Cormac McCarthy
Hagbourne Book Club – GROUP 2
After our first year, the younger book group is going strong. Perhaps with a less structured approach to our Review evenings, our discussions are nevertheless, in-depth, wide-ranging, entertaining and passionate. Recent hits include . . . The Golden Notebook, Suite Francaise, The Kite Runner and On Chesil Beach.
Meetings are around half-a-dozen people from a membership of around 15 who come and go, depending on availability. We meet in each others homes from 8:00pm on the second Monday of each month. Please contact Doug Amos to join in.
GROUP 2 - 2008 Book Reading List
- “Never Let Me Go” - Kazuo Ishiguru
- “As I Lay Dying” - William Faulkner

We are looking for a volunteer to set up a 3rd Group on a different day of the week for those unable to attend the Monday meetings. Please contact Alice Smith or Doug Amos to join in.
