| Title | Author | Genre | Comment | |
| Mar-04 | Starter for ten | Brian Nicholls | Modern | Light but enjoyable. Some found characters irritating. |
| Apr-04 | Curious Incident of Dog in night-time | Mark Haddon | Modern | Well received and provoked lengthy discussion on subject of book |
| Brick Lane | Monica Ali | Varied reaction with some really enjoying it and others finding it too long and/or slow | ||
| May/June 04 | Brick Lane (continued) | Monica Ali | ? | I think we selected two books for two meetings? |
| Jan-00 | ||||
| Jul-04 | The Loving Spirit | Daphne Du Maurier | Romance | Definite thumbs down and a bit dodgy with caveat not a bad attempt for a first book. |
| Jan-00 | ||||
| Oct-04 | The Motorcycle Diaries | Che Guevara | Travel | Only half group had read this. Varying reactions from brilliant to so so. Film more popular generally − perhaps we should be a film group! |
| Dec-04 | Pompeii | Robert Harris | Crime | Again, wide range of reactions from very enjoyable to didn’t get past the first 30 pages − yawn. Blockbusters/beach reads not to all tastes. |
| Feb-05 | Case Histories | Kate Atkinson | Modern | good read, but characters are rather cliché-ridden |
| The Queen and I | Sue Townsend | Enjoyable read but not much to discuss! | ||
| Mar-05 | The Joke | Milan Kundera | European | |
| Popular Music | Mikael Niemi | Not many people read this − varying reactions from not very interesting to very enjoyable. | ||
| Apr-May 2005 | Time and the Conways | JB Priestley | Play | Everyone really enjoyed doing a play and reading it out in parts. This was linked to a theatre visit to see another Priestley play, An Inspector Calls |
| Jun-05 | Persuasion | Jane Austen | Classics | Half the group read this book, who all really enjoyed the book − good characters and lots of wit. most probably read it before. I think there was another title, can’t remember what. |
| Jul-05 | Like a Fiery Elephant:The story of BS Johnson | Jonathan Coe | Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction | Both these titles were enjoyed by those who read them (Stuart a Life Backwards currently being serialised on BBC4). The Fiery Elephant book quite hard going though |
| Stuart a life backwards | Alexander Masters | |||
| Sep-05 | Broken Music | Sting | Autobiog | Enjoyed by most, though some found writing style strange. |
| The Road Taken | Michael Burke | Everyone enjoyed this | ||
| Nov-05 | The Beach | Alex Garland | Thriller / cult | Only a couple of people read it − good page turner − quite a lot of discussion around cult nature of book, and comparisons to film |
