Great Books to Read

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Attention All Shipping by Charlie Connolly

About us

We are a group of 3 who like to read books, eat nice meals and combine these interests in regular meetings. We live in the Richmond/Kingston area in Surrey and met at an evening class in Twickenham making jewellery. Since then, we have kept in touch and set up a reading club. One of our number is a Homeopath, one is a manager from Microsoft and the other is a computing consultant who is teaching herself web design through developing this web site.

Our choices of book have been fairly random so far - we definitely judge a book by its cover - usually through the window of a bookshop. The reason for this is that our tastes are so diverse we cannot agree what to read. However, we have realised that most of the books chosen this way are not to the taste of any of us, so we have started to choose books recommended elsewhere. This Blinding Absence of Light was highly recommended by the Saturday Times reading club, so we'll see how we get on with that.

We hope you enjoy our recommendations - both books and local restaurants.
