The group started off about six years ago and consisted mainly of people in their 20s. We are currently very mixed in age, from about 25 to 75. The turnout varies between six and fourteen people, though we have about forty people on the list of members.
The books we read vary from light to heavy, usually written either by or about gay men. Anyone is free to choose a book but they don't necessarily have to introduce it themself. Discussions are quite lively: we have one member (me) who loves virtually every book fairly uncritically and one who virtually savages every book (but he is quite gentle really!).
We meet monthly, usually Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, at 7.30 or 8 in someone’s flat in the centre of Bristol and chat over a glass of wine, beer or cup of coffee.
