The Short Novels Reading Group 2 is an offshoot of Group 1, and runs parallel to it, meeting at the same venue and sharing its schedule. Like the first group, it is dedicated to discussing short works of fiction of about 75 to 200 pages in an average-sized paperback. Enquiries are welcome from members of the u3a who are interested in reading and discussing works of fiction of that length.

Many notable works in this category of "Short Novels" are rewarding to read and discuss but do not take an excessive amount of time to get through. 

The agenda for the coming months is decided in advance by agreement among the members and new suggestions are always welcome. The following titles are among those which have been considered at recent meetings:  

The Pearl	John Steinbeck
A Month in the Country	J. L. Carr
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie	Muriel Spark
Silas Marner	George Eliot
One Day in the Life Of Ivan Denisovitch	Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Breakfast at Tiffany's	Truman Capote
Orbital	Samantha Harvey

One short work of fiction is considered at each meeting.

We  welcome enquiries from interested members. If you would like more information, Bath u3a members can contact the Group Convenor via the Enquiry link at the top of this page. Non-members should contact the Groups Advisers for more information.
