What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Portugal. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, in both English and Portuguese, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.
The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.
