The group has 11 members and this number is about the maximum that can be accommodated in members' homes. Each member proposes 2 or 3 books that interest them, and the group votes to choose books for the next period. The proposer of the book usually initiates the discussion which can be free ranging (style of writing, topic related issues etc.) The books are ordered from the library, but very occasionally purchased when a 'special' one proves difficult to obtain

The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan

The Sisters Brothers by Patrick De Witt
Dead Line by Stella Rimmington
