Wise Guys Book Group

February - Favourite Books and Future Directions

28/2/2023

The inaugural meeting of the Wise Guys Book Group brought five men together to discuss favourite books and the direction the group might take. The group professed a preference for non- fiction although novels will not be excluded. More specifically, war stories seemed to strike a chord, highlighted by the presence of a war veteran.

We next meet on Wednesday 22nd March at 2pm in the U3A Meeting Room. New members welcome.

New in 2023 - the 'Wise Guys Book Group'

We know that a lot of our male members enjoy reading, however suspect that joining 'Let's Talk Books' and 'Page Turners' may be rather offputting as both are currently all female groups. Everyone seems to agree that a men's book group is in order which is heartening. Avid reader David Palmer has agreed to convene the new group.

"The Wise Guys Book Group will cater for predominantly men's interests, with book titles drawn largely from non-fiction genres including 'Biography/Memoir', 'Exploration', Warfare', 'Spycraft', 'Mystery', 'Crime', 'Adventure', 'Politics', 'Farming' and more. Titles might include Burke and Wills by Peter Fitzsimons' a Vietnam memori, Tunnel Rats, by Jimmy Thomson; Light and Shadow, Memoirs of a Spy's Son, the biography of journalist Mark Colvin; as well as books suggested by group members as the course progresses."

David Palmer - 4th Wednesday 2 to 4 pm, U3A Classroom 1
