Reading is a popular activity with our U3A members and we are the third group called Page Turners.  We read a variety of books reflecting the tastes and interests of our group which makes for interesting discussions. The books we read are a wide mixture of non-fiction, fiction, humorous or crime.  Some of the authors are new and others are well established but whose work we have not read.  It may encourage us to read more of their work.

We meet in those members homes who have space for us all.  Generally we start the meeting with coffee & biscuits and general chat to catch up and put the world to rights.  Members take turns to recommend a book and that person starts the meeting with a short background summary of the author, why they chose it and their thoughts on the book.  We then have a general discussion and rate the book on a scale 1 (not keen) to 5.  It is interesting how different our views can be and this often leads to a lively discussion that is part of the great pleasure of being in a book group.
