Biography Reading Group

This group focuses on autobiography, biography and memoirs, covering a wide range of personalities, eras and writing styles. Everyone gets to propose and introduce an interesting life they would like to share: the subjects may be historical or contemporary, with political, artistic, sporting or literary backgrounds, and from any culture or continent. Some lives will be admirable and some not; ideally they will all be intriguing and help the group reflect on human experience in all its diversity. Participants are encouraged to read each selected recommendation before the meeting, and the group aims to pick books that are readily available at modest cost. Meetings are in a member's home in Bishopston.
