Chipperfield Bookworms was formed just over three years ago as an informal book reading group limited to 10 members. Meetings are held each month (during Spring, Autumn and Winter) in the members’ homes, on a rotating basis, to discuss the books read in the preceding month and to select books for future reading on the basis of two books a month.
Currently being read are: The Rotters Club by Jonathon Coe and Toast by Nigel Slater.
Amongst the books recently read were: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (highly acclaimed) by Mark Haddon; The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad;
Star of the Seas by Joseph O’Connor; In Pale Battalions by Robert Goddard; The Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett; The Accusers by Lyndsey Davies.
