Penryn Library; 2nd Monday at 3pm (Penryn)

We meet in the library and choose a book from Cornwall library's book club sets. This means that we often read books and authors which are new to us.

Hi! I'm Dan, 38, in the Camborne area. Literature sucked me in as a child and has never let me go. These days I mostly read genre fiction, particularly fantasy and sci-fi, interspersed with some crime, historical fiction and thrillers. I'm interested in meeting people with similar tastes to discuss our favourite reads.

Dan recommends:

The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss | Learn more and buy

As much as I love it, I'll concede that much fantasy writing is plot-driven and prosaic. Rothfuss is different. His language is poetic, at times like a mental caress, sometimes sweeping and epic, full of clever wordplay.The book has flaws (not least that it begins a trilogy that may never be completed), but whenever I read it I'm reminded why I love the genre.

Simon (Bodmin)

Restoring old house outside Bodmin, interested in history, some novels

Gemma (Redruth)

Hi! I'm 30 and just moved back to Cornwall - my favourite genre is fantasy, but I read all sorts, including sci-fi, thriller, romance, literary, and classics. I would love to start a small book group of like-minded readers where we can meet up for a coffee/dinner/drinks and talk books!

Gemma recommends:

The Princess Bride

by William Goldman | Learn more and buy

This is my favourite book. It has everything - pirates, revenge, sword fights, giants, poison, true love, miracles... it makes me laugh every time I read it!
