Michael (Basingstoke)

I’m drawn to darker, offbeat literary fiction — the kind of books that are a little strange, psychologically intense, or stylistically ambitious. I love stories that spark discussion and sit with you long after you’ve finished them. I’m not a literary expert by any means, but I’d really like to develop a more critical eye and dig deeper into what makes a book work. Mostly, I’m hoping to find thoughtful, like-minded people who enjoy both good conversation and the social side of reading.

Wuthering Heights

by Emily Bronte | Buy this book

As always, there is a real reason to pick up a good classic- a film adaptation. Don’t watch the film just be reminded that it’s a sad story about a person that truly loved someone

Because Emily and Jane Austen were alive at a time when Mrs Radcliffe was a popular read and when we were at war, Napoleon

B-B Reader (Basingstoke)

I’m a 50ish northerner who’d like to discover some different authors & genres & meet some fellow bookworms. I’ve been reading easy chick-lit for too long.

Jane (Liphook)

I would like to meet monthly to discuss etc. I love reading and would like to get back to reading more. I primarily like most books, eg booker short/long list, but also other . Also good old crime/detective/historical. Not keen on science fiction/ fantasy and light romance..Would prefer to read books with first language English but open to books in translation. Only because there are just so many books out there. I am retired, studied English and drama at degree and then worked in scientific , technical and medical publishing for 18 years before retraining as a psychotherapist.
