Debutante (Folkestone)

Hi I’m late 60’s and like to think of myself as young minded. I have a GSH and like a bit of banter and fun. Love reading and discussing books but don’t love it so much when things are taken too seriously. I have a Literature degree so have enjoyed analysing many books. However, I do feel that over analysing can sometimes lessen the enjoyment. I mainly like fiction one of my favourite books being ‘What I Loved’ by Siri Hustvedt. Also loved The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Fairly new to Sandgate so would like to make new friends in the process.

Jungwon (Broadstairs)

Hi! I mainly enjoy reading non-fiction books related to psychology and biology, and I’d like to meet once a week to discuss the books. Through this, I want to share opinions with different people :)

Jungwon recommends:

Why Fish Don't Exist: A Story of Loss, Love and the Hidden Order of Life
by Lulu Miler | Buy this book
This book not only has a beautifully crafted prose, but it also opens up a new perspective on the field of taxonomy. Can we truly define a fish as a “fish”? Are the creatures we categorize as fish actually close enough to be considered the same group? If you’re curious about these questions, you must read this book.

Arthur (Maidstone)

Hi, This attempt transpired by a Historical Non-Fiction, however I'd be also interested in the Classics of Literature like the Crime & Punishment, Stranger or Metamorphosis etc.. How often I can attend a Book Reading session would depend on what is offered and I'd assume it would be at least one day in the week. I'm retired and I have no ties to strain me in any way. I hoped that in a reading group I can cultivate my reading(or as a listener) also discuss with others about what's been read as well. I feel there's so much to read yet I haven't read enough!

Arthur recommends:

Hunger by Knut Hamsun
Hunger
by Knut Hamsun | Buy this book
I think someone broke and starving could not be narrated any better than that. First publication has been done in 1956 and I sincerely believe that greatest authors lived at the last quarter of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th.
