Welcome to Wokingham Literary Society
A love of reading is all you need.
We are a friendly group of people who enjoy books, ideas and lively conversation. Our monthly meetings cover a wide range of books, authors and subjects, from fiction and biography to history, art and much more, with plenty of opportunity to chat with other members over tea.
You don’t need to be an expert or a dedicated bookworm to join us — just an interest in books and an enjoyment of good company. Our meetings are relaxed and welcoming, whether you read widely or simply enjoy hearing about what others are reading.
We also have monthly ‘I Have Been Reading’ Zoom meetings, where members share books they’ve enjoyed and exchange ideas for future reading, together with occasional informal poetry groups.
New members and visitors are always welcome. Come along and see what you think.
