Lena (Buxton)

I’ve always loved reading, and last year I finally got back into it in full swing. I found myself reading a ton of Agatha Christie and other whodunit novels—I love a good mystery and trying to piece together the clues before the big reveal! Beyond mysteries, I’m interested in all things literature and enjoy exploring new authors and titles as well as going back to the classics. One of the more recent novels I read was Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult, which I really enjoyed. I’m also new to the Buxton area and would love to join a book group as a way to meet new people, make some friends, and connect with others who genuinely love to read. I’m looking forward to discovering books I might not have picked up on my own, sharing thoughts and recommendations, and, of course, having some fun conversations along the way.

Lena recommends:

One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel García Márquez | Learn more and buy
Its an amazing tale of many generations of the same family leaving through pain, love, loss. Its a tale of humanity in a miniature version.

Marilia (Southam)

I enjoy reading a wide range of genres, particularly crime, suspense, dystopian fiction and books with strong social themes or social commentary. I also enjoy classics, especially stories that explore society, class and human behaviour. Alongside fiction, I’m interested in self-development and spirituality. I’m looking to join a book group to discover different authors and genres, discuss different interpretations, and read books I might not necessarily pick up on my own.

Marilia recommends:

The Tenament
by Aluísio Azevedo | Learn more and buy
What I love about this book is how it explores the influence our environment and social circumstances can have on our behaviour and the way we live our lives. It’s a classic of Brazilian literature and a great example of naturalism and determinism. Although it was written in the 19th century, many of its themes still feel very relevant today, particularly the way our surroundings, social class and living conditions can shape who we become.

John (Loughborough)

My reading interests span politics, military history, and the inner workings of public institutions, with each area equally important. I enjoy books written by people with direct involvement — politicians, soldiers, journalists, civil servants, and insiders — especially when they offer honest reflections, behind‑the‑scenes insight, or analysis of decision‑making under real-world constraints. I’m also drawn to investigative accounts of political events, organisational failures, and leadership challenges, alongside military memoirs that focus on lived experience rather than abstract strategy. Overall, I prefer clear, factual, grounded non‑fiction that helps me understand how systems and people operate in demanding environments.

John recommends:

In Retrospect
by Robert McNamara | Learn more and buy
An incredible account of how the author, who was then the US Secretary of State for Defence, concluded the Vietnam War could not be won, and the fallout that resulted within the Linden B Johnson presidency.

Lorri (Hastings)

I’m in my 50s. I used to love reading all different genres but life got in the way and I struggled to find time to read. I love anything from the classics to Harry Potter, crime/thrillers and some romance. I also like to learn about different things and about natural medicine. I feel like I must have missed out of some great books so that’s why I would like to join a book club.

Sean (Southampton)

The idea: a small, easygoing group meeting once a month in a cosy café around Southampton (open to New Forest spots too, depending who's keen) to talk about the kind of books that actually earn their length — Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, John Williams' Stoner, Jack London's Martin Eden. Big questions, flawed characters, sentences worth re-reading. Doesn't have to stay strictly Russian-and-American — anything in that same vein is fair game. No pressure if you haven't finished the book. No one-upmanship. Just good coffee, better conversation, and people who actually want to talk about what they're reading rather than just being seen to read it. If that sounds like your kind of Saturday morning (or Tuesday evening — happy to find what works for the group), get in touch. Even just tell me the last book that properly wrecked you — that's usually the best icebreaker.
