What’s on your bookshelf?

Rainbow Readers are already starting to create quite a bit of interest in and around the Lancaster and Morecambe area.

We are getting emails and enquiries through from a wide variety of sources all wanting to know more about the book group. Hopefully the next few meeting s will see the group grow to encompass people with a wide variety of tastes and backgrounds that will help create a superb range of books for the future.

If you have any ideas about future books then please let us know, as an LGBT based group there is bound to be some choices which reflect members of the group and their identity, but there will also be a good selection of other books I’m sure.

As you sit there thinking of what you may want to suggest why not go to your bookshelf and see what hidden gem you have tucked away. Maybe there’s a book that has a certain significance, or perhaps it was just a great read from start to finish.

                                                     

As for me I love Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie. It was a Christmas present nearly 10 years ago and every now and then I will revisit it and lose myself in its pure magic as it tells the story surrounding one man’s love and respect for his dying former college tutor. Another really hard hitting book, and funnily enough a present from the same person, is Chris Kitch’s Pavement For My Pillow. This is a story of a real struggle for survival, the fight against drugs and prostitution and how the hopeless became the hopeful.

Please let us know what your favourites are so that even if we don’t discuss these as a reading group others may perhaps be pointed in the direction of a book that otherwise they may not have come across.
