The meeting of the British Culture Association's Book Club due to be held on April 21 has been postponed to May 5 at 7 p.m. The book being discussed is Azar Nafisi's enthralling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran (HarperCollins, £7.99) about the dangers of conducting a book club in Tehran, a book which, according to the London Times, "communicates brilliantly the terrifying moral absolutism of a state which believes that to write of adultery is to condone it." The discussion will be led by Dr Clare Thake Vassallo.

The final meeting of the season for the Book Club will be on May 26, also at 7 p.m. The book being discussed this time is a novel by the well-known English author Graham Swift. It is The Light of Day (Penguin, £7.99) of which it has been written that "teasing out the magical in the ordinary truth from deceit, it is a timeless love story about how we can find the beautiful and enchanting in the most unlikely place." Dr Ivan Callus will conduct the discussion.

BCA members who have not yet attended meetings of the Book Club and who are interested, are warmly invited. The two meetings will be held at 136/5, Tower Road, Sliema and are hosted by Mrs Candida Hasselman.
