Presented by Helen Ottaway, Karen Stewart and Sheila Hedges.

There are over 30 reading groups in Frome – we are a town that likes reading and discussing! The FromeFM group will talk, if not about the book itself, then the various ideas that came to mind when reading.

Join the presenters by sending in news of your reading group, or making comments about the book under discussion.

If you want to join a group or start a new one, then visit the local library for help and advice – they have a list of books where they have multiple copies!

On Good Friday 30th March, our guest was Ki Longfellow who has written a memoir about her life with Vivian Stanshall, frontman of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band – no quiet session here! The books discussed were This Boy by Alan Johnson which covers his childhood in inner London; and I Paint My Reality by Christine Burrus – a biography of Frida Kahlo because after reading Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver, we were intrigued by her life! There are links between the books via music, art, and teddy boys.

On 27th April our guest will be James Ellis who is crowd-funding the publication of his next book An Other’s Look. And we will be reading fantasy – Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick which is the book that inspired Blade Runner, as well as The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jaaskelainen.

Please join us in reading one (or more !) of the books and adding your comments to the programme by emailing books@nullfrome.fm
