Welcome to the Simply Books Readers Club - your guide to Enjoyable Books!
This section of the Wiki is dedicated to hosting information and a discussion forum for our Simply Books Parents and Friends Readers Club.
While our Club will meet at the College for good discussion, and will host special author and reading events, the aim of our interactive website will be to allow anyone to enjoy learning about and being involved with good literature through the Simply Books Readers Club Online.

First meeting 2009 American Wife, by Curtis Sittenfeld
"A rich, utterly absorbing, powerful story of how a very ordinary girl from an
unremarkable town grows up to become the first lady of the USA. American
Wife is not a novel about politics. It is a gorgeously written novel that
weaves race, class, fate and wealth into a brilliant tapestry. It is a novel in
which the unexpected becomes inevitable, and the pleasures and pain of
intimacy and love are laid bare."
