Imtisal (Gloucester)

We're building something Gloucester doesn't really have yet. A book club that's about more than just finishing a book. A place to meet people (16+) , discover new genres, share ideas, and youth who wants to build genuine friendships. Over time, the plan is to create different book clubs and events for every kind of reader—from fantasy and romance to thrillers, classics, manga, non-fiction and more. We are a startup so right now we're looking for the first people who want to help shape the community from the ground up. If you've ever wished it was easier to meet like-minded people in Gloucester, spend less time scrolling, and more time doing something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you. Contact me for details.

Silent Patient

"...we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still." Lesson learnt!

Levi (Gloucester)

I’m 18 living in Gloucester and I love reading. I want to be able to share my thoughts and rant about the plot line and what I loved. I love fantasy, action and heartfelt history books along with manhwa and manga mostly isakai and regression which is fun but I’m open to more genres

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes | Learn more and buy
It starts off with a story about Charlie Gordon who was born with a low IQ and is chosen to be a test subject for an experiment to raise IQ with it first being tested on a lab mouse, Algernon. Through the book we get to see him grow and change as he learns the world is crueler than he thought. He has a drive to learn and be better and it leads him to be smarter than even the scientists that put him though the experiment but at some point Algernon starts to deteriorate and the question is weather his will also happen to Charlie.

Grave Empire
by Richard Swan | Learn more and buy
It’s such a great story of a world on the brink of extinction but the politics get in the way of saving it.

Anthony (Newent)

I’m 53 and best described as a distracted reader! I particularly enjoy the literature and new journalism of the 1960s but I’m easily can turn my attention to non-fiction historical books and biography- especially cycling. I usually have a few books on the go! Interested in joining a book club in order to be better disciplined in my reading and sharing thoughts!

Anthony recommends:

Inherent Vice
by Thomas Pynchon | Learn more and buy
Fun and a rich mix of characters - observant and at times poignant and sad.

Anthony (Newent)

Hi my name is Anthony. I’m probably best described as a distracted reader! I enjoy all sorts of genre but I am drawn to that of the 1960s counter culture so authors like Hunter S Thompson, Thomas Pynchon and Kurt Vonnegut. I also enjoy reading non fiction history and biographies especially cycling! Would welcome the added impetus of a book club to help my reading to return to its former level - I will one day finish Joyce’s Ulysses!!

Anthony recommends:

Inherent Vice
by Thomas Pynchon | Learn more and buy
Well I finished it! But the usual mix of rich characters and narrative thread - darkly funny and poignantly observant.

A Downs (Cirencester)

I like reading fiction, mostly crime, mystery, thriller and romance, I would say. I live in the Fairford, Lechlade, Bibury area, looking for a social group, to make friends, discuss reading and writing. I am very happy to join an existing group, but I get off work between 6pm-7pm so ideally we would meet at about 7:15-7:30pm. Looking to meet once a month probably.

Duncan (Cheltenham)

I’ve recently moved into the Charlton Kings area and have found myself with more time on my hands. I love to travel and read (often simultaneously) and mainly read fiction so would welcome the opportunity to socialise and to be challenged and moved out of my comfort zone by reading other people’s literary choices.
