Mens Book Club
The Mens Book Club within the Shed was formed in the second quarter of 2025. They meet monthly to discuss the book of the month.
As of July 2025 there are 20 members, with discussion groups of no more than 10 people.
Nominations for the book of the month are made at least 2 months ahead of the scheduled discussion, which takes a little over an hour, followed by an opportunity to socialise.
The nominated titles include both fiction and non-fiction, written by authors of varied backgrounds, including prize winning professionals and real world adventurers.
Attendees are encouraged to participate in the discussion, which is loosely structured around a set of discussion questions presented by the person who originally nominated the book. At the end of each meeting everyone is invited to provide their personal score for the book, and a record of the average score given for each book is maintained.
If anyone in the shed would like to know which books have been discussed and which were given the highest scores that information is available from the group leader Ross Littlewood. Ross can be reached on this email address bookclub.lead@msclaremont.tidymail.co
