The books and handouts are the same for both book clubs so if you can't make your regular session, you can enquire at the Library about coming along to the other group.After both Book Clubs have discussed the books, ratings and a summary will be compiled from the discussions and published under the Book Club Discussion (http://melbourneathenaeumbookclub.wordpress.com/) heading on this page.The Ath Book Club is free with your membership. If you would like to attend, please contact us at Bookclub@melbourneathenaeum.org.au (mailto:Bookclub@melbourneathenaeum.org.au).
