BOOK CLUB |
|
|
At Fulwood Methodist we have a BOOK
CLUB that meets at regular intervals to read, discuss and compare
various books. The group is open to anyone who wants to join us.
We have decided to invite anyone who wishes to tell us their own response to one of the books on the rather long list below. This follows from our discussions a while ago, when we tried to decide what does constitute 'historical fiction'. it is a very wide genre and we thought about four lists of good historical writing which have appeared recently on the internet. So, please choose one which interests you (or which you may already have read) and bring your thoughts with you.
