We are a friendly group of people who love reading. We aim to encourage an appreciation of Literature but you don’t need any experience of Literature, just curiosity and an enjoyment of reading.

We have monthly meetings from September to May where different topics are discussed each month, as well as a monthly ‘I Have Been Reading’ online group meeting and also a programme of poetry reading.

Our next meeting:
21st May 2026

Desert Island Books

A twist on the radio show, host John Andrew will ask two members to share the four books they would choose to be marooned with if they were shipwrecked on a desert island.  From stories of ancient times, through modern romantic fiction to scientific treatises, this event will throw a light on what might while away their lonely days waiting to be rescued.

A short AGM will take place before this presentation.

We hold talks in the Lecture Room, Baptist Church, Milton Road, Wokingham RG40 1DE from 7.30pm to 9.30pm on the third Thursday of some months.
