Description
This month we will be discussing Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.
The WCN Book Club provides a free, inclusive and welcoming environment for book lovers to come together and talk about books. We meet once a month for about an hour (though sometimes conversation flows and we overrun!) to discuss a specific book. Our tastes are diverse though usually modern: we read from fiction to poetry to non-fiction and including works in translation.
There’s no need to reserve your place, just bring along your copy, get a drink (some venues provide free coffee and tea, others allow you to purchase it there or bring it in with you – we’ll always announce this in advance) and settle into a comfy chair. Complementary cake is often provided by one of our members.
Discussion is relaxed and democratic and dissent is welcomed. We share our responses to the book in question and there are no right or wrong answers, no right or wrong ways of responding. Somewhere towards the end, we usually end up off topic, sharing some of the other books we’ve been reading or want to read.
Above all, the WCN Book Club believes in
The Rights of the Reader – whatever you read, however you read it, you’re welcome to join us.
For more book discussion and information on the titles we’re reading, join our social media pages on
Facebook and
