Letter: Book clubs for all

Sir: You don't have to be a journalist on the Sunday Times or a financial PR (whatever that is) to enjoy reading books ('Wine, women and a serious ripping yarn', 15 December).

I'm a boring old housewife and I've belonged to a great book discussion group for about 10 years. We meet monthly in one another's houses (and don't feel obliged to produce food, just coffee and biscuits). We usually choose modern novels, often by women (Angela Carter, Toni Morrison, Bernice Reubens, Anne Tyler, for example) and take turns in leading the very lively discussion.

Yours faithfully,

DEBORAH BOTTOMLEY
