##2025 Reading List##
Regular Monday Gatherings
Below is our annual reading list for 2025 so that you can choose what - if anything - you want to read. I have organised these by the month they will be discussed - obviously, if you want to discuss them, you'll need to read them earlier. These are the English titles - feel free to read them in whatever language makes you happy.
