Books ! There are over 30 reading groups in Frome - and for this group you can join the presenters by sending in news of your reading group, or making comments about the book under discussion by emailing books@nullfrome.fm – you don’t even have to leave home !

There is also a linked music programme – Music from the On Air Book Group.

On March 29th, the subject was archiving, and we discussed 2 books  - All the Names by Jose Saramago, The Archivist’s story by Travis Holland and touched on a book we read earlier, The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu by Joshua Hammer – all books related in same way to archiving. And we mustn’t forget the BBC archive on voices from the Titanic, nor Frome’s own Working Memories as well.

On 26th April, we have Frome’s second bookseller Peter Foster as our guest, and the presenters have picked classics that they read when children, including The Water Babies by Charles Kingsley, Peter Pan and Wendy by J M Barrie, James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, and Little Women by Louisa M Alcott.
