SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, 16 June 2026 at 6:30 pm at the Bürgerbegegnungsstätte Bayreuth for our next Book Club meeting\, where we will be discussing The Marmalade Diaries – the true story of an odd couple by Ben Aitken. \nOut of the most inauspicious of soils – and from the author of The Gran Tour – comes a book about grief\, family\, friendship\, loneliness\, life\, love\, lockdown and marmalade. \nONE HOUSE. TWO HOUSEMATES. THREE REASONS TO WORRY: WINNIE AND BEN ARE SEPARATED BY 50 YEARS\, A GULF IN CLASS\, AND MAJOR DIFFERENCES OF OPINION. \nWhen hunting for a room in London\, Ben Aitken came across one for a great price in a lovely part of town. There had to be a catch. And there was. The catch was Winnie: an 85-year-old widow who doesn’t suffer fools. \nFull of warmth\, wit and candour\, The Marmalade Diaries tells the story of an unlikely friendship during an unlikely time. Imagine an intergenerational version of Big Brother\, but with only two contestants. One of the pair a grieving and inflexible former aristocrat in her mid-eighties. The other a working-class millennial snowflake. What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly go right? \n***** \nWhether you have read the book in full or are simply curious\, you are very welcome to join us. Expect a thoughtful and open discussion in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Book Club April
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, 21 April at 6:30 pm at the Bürgerbegegnungsstätte Bayreuth for our next Book Club meeting\, where we will be discussing What We Can Know by Ian McEwan. \n \nSpanning past and future\, the novel weaves together literary mystery\, speculative fiction\, and a deeply human exploration of memory\, relationships\, and truth. Moving between a near-future world shaped by climate change and the early 21st century\, the story centres on a puzzling poem and the lives it quietly entangles. As one character attempts to reconstruct its origins\, the narrative raises compelling questions about interpretation\, authorship\, and the reliability of what we think we know. \nAt its core\, What We Can Know reflects on the limits of knowledge itself: how accurately can we ever understand the past\, other people\, or even our own motivations? It also touches on themes of environmental responsibility\, hindsight\, and the ways in which societies remember — or misremember — their turning points. \nWhether you have read the book in full or are simply curious\, you are very welcome to join us. Expect a thoughtful and open discussion in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. \nWe look forward to seeing you there. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club Meeting September
DESCRIPTION:In the DEG Book Club’s September meeting we will discuss our latest pick from our July session and choose the next read! Come join us\, when we discuss what we are going to read next! Non-members are welcome! \nIn July’s Book Club session we chose “The Body” by Stephen King. \nIn The Body\, four young boys set out on a journey to find the body of a missing child—and discover far more than they bargained for. Set in the 1960s in a small Maine town\, this coming-of-age novella weaves nostalgia\, fear\, and the haunting loss of innocence into a powerful tale about friendship and growing up. The novella was made into the movie “Stand by me” in 1986. \nStephen King\, best known for his mastery of horror and suspense\, has penned over 60 novels and 200 short stories\, many of which have become cultural touchstones. With The Body\, he trades monsters for memory\, delivering one of his most tender and enduring works. \nJoin us! \nThis short novella is a great entry point for new book club members—short enough to dive in easily\, but rich enough to spark deep conversation. Join us for a heartfelt discussion on youth\, mortality\, and the moments that shape us. JOIN US!
