Leeds Humanists Book Club

The book is Stoner by John Williams. It is the story of an ordinary man's life, a man drawn to literature in early adulthood against the knowledge of his parents. He is not considered remarkable by anyone, yet his life clearly has value. He is a person making his mark only on the lives of his family and those close to him, leaving no impression on the wider world. A person who will not be remembered across the centuries, across the millennia. Like most of us.

As humanists, what do we understand to be the meaning of an individual's life? Indeed, do we, as individuals, need anything to provide us with meaning to live a happy, fulfilled life?

There are plenty more questions - not all of them existential. Join us to discuss.
All are welcome.
