Welcome to our non-fiction book club! Our May pick is A City on Mars by Kelly Weinersmith.
About this Event

Welcome to our non-fiction book club! We meet in our cafe on the second Wednesday every month to talk about the latest and greatest in non-fiction, including titles in nature, history, art, politics, popular-science, biography, gender studies, travel, and the list goes on!

The next book club will take place on Wednesday 13th May.

Our May pick is A City on Mars by Kelly Weinersmith. Combining rigorous research with a beguiling sense of humour, Dr Kelly and Zach Weinersmith investigate the likelihood – and wisdom – of humans colonising the Red Planet in this enormously entertaining and thought-provoking volume.

Whether your already a connoisseur of non-fiction or looking to expand your reading horizons, we’d love to have you. Tickets are free but we recommend booking to secure your place.
