Lucy (Bristol)

Outgoing, fun loving and I love to try new books!

Lucy recommends:

Orlando

by Virginia Woolf | Buy this book

I love history, and so the perspectives throughout time were interesting to me in this one. The fluidity of Woolf’s perspective transcends gender also, which I loved.

Bookreader111 (Bristol)

I love to read classics and anything in the fantasy genre. I’m also looking to connect with people my own age (23) and bond over reading!

To the Lighthouse

by Virginia Woolf | Buy this book

I read the 'time passes' section every other week at this point

Princess

by Jean Sasson | Buy this book

Based on true story, the shocking treatment of women in saudi Arabia and the courage and strength they have.

Old-Fangled Book Club (Bristol)

New book club, fiction/non-fiction/poetry, welcoming anyone.

JillMc (Bristol)

I used to be a keen reader, but have got out of the habit and now rarely finish a book. I would like to find some motivation to read regularly again and think that a book club would be ideal to kick-start my reading habit again. I have broad tastes in reading. I'd really like to connect with other readers and enjoy some interesting discussion.

Callipygous (Bristol)

Hi, would love to join a book club to get me reading more. Like all sorts but especially classics.

Callipygous recommends:

The Alexandria Quartet

by Lawrence Durrell | Buy this book

Durrell tells the same story thrice from three different perspectives before advancing the story in the final book of the quadrilogy, which makes for an interesting read in itself. What really makes the quartet however is the vividness of the characters and the atmosphere of mid-century Alexandria - it comes alive as a philosophy and culture since lost to modernity.

Unsong

by Scott Alexander | Buy this book

Scott Alexander is always great fun to read and this is no exception - like a nerdier version of Good Omens, his asides and allusions are always fun to read and spot. What sets this book apart however is the payoff at the end where he gives a real and sound answer to the theodicy problem that shadows the story - in truth his answer is a rich seam for considering philosophy, rare praise for a light webnovel.

AmyB (Bristol)

Looking to get back into reading. No specific genre really, I enjoy reading a range of different books.

Booklover13 (Bristol)

I love to read and want a push to read more as it is harder to find time these days. I would love to meet some new people and have the chance to discuss some books while getting to know them.

Susannah (Bristol)

Hi, I'd love to join a book group. Used to be one few years ago and really enjoyed it. Recently moved to Bristol from Vancouver. Read quite widely both fiction and non-fiction. Cheers, Susannah

Bookworm (Bristol)

Hi I love reading. I like crime and factual books as well as fiction. Would like to meet new friends.

Fictional101 (Bristol)

Love fiction old and new with diverse stories to tell. Looking for good company, bit of a laugh and interesting book choices.

Emily (Bristol)

Hi, I'm Emily! I'm in my early 30s and am trying to get back into reading. I'm trying to use my library card as much as possible and am open to reading any genres and not just books with nice covers!

Milliesmith (Bristol)

Moved here from Bath in December and looking for a book club with likeminded people. I am 23 and would like a book club in my age group! Favourite genres include thrillers, feminist, romance, dystopian and sci fi. Looking for something around the Clifton/city centre!
