Ashidmaa (London)

Hi! I'm a structural engineer with a passion for learning and exploring new ideas. In my free time, I love reading across a variety of genres, from thrillers to non-fiction, and I’m always looking to expand my horizons with fresh book recommendations. I’m hoping to join a book group to connect with like-minded people, discuss different perspectives, and make some new friends along the way. I’d love to meet up once a month or so, to dive into different books and share our thoughts!

It's Kind of a Funny Story

by Ned Vizzini | Learn more and buy

The book is both humorous and heart-wrenching, with a message that encourages readers to appreciate life and to seek help when needed. It’s a powerful story that resonates with many, especially those who may be dealing with similar struggles. It’s also quite moving because, as you mentioned, the author, Ned Vizzini, tragically passed away after completing the book, which adds an additional layer of poignancy to the work.

Abdulhamid (London)

I’m a curious individual who is very interested in people, cultures and languages. Despite this, I rarely ever read and due to my growing concern of not sharpening myself with knowledge and wisdom during my leisure time, I want to join a book club to have an environment that makes me want to read in an enjoyable manner.

Hi! I’ve been running several book clubs over the past few years. This year I’m changing cities and countries, so I’d like to form a group for meeting online. I love reading fantasy and speculative fiction, sci-fi, and dramatic stories. I don’t mind revisiting some classics I skipped during school and university. Here are some of the last books I’ve read and would be happy to discuss to kick things off: The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin, Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Yellowface by R. F. Kuang, Everything Calls for Salvation by Daniele Mencarelli, Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, etc. Message me if this sounds like your kind of thing, and feel free to write a few words about yourself.

Circe

by Madeleine Miller | Learn more and buy

The story of Circe the enchantress, an important but secondary character in the Odyssey, has her life story told. From her life growing up in the court of Helios, to her exile to her island, to what comes next... Whether you are a fan of Greek mythology or not, this is a gripping blend of enchanting mythology and brutal family drama. I read this book over a weekend and couldn't put it down. It has some heart-breaking moments and some really inspiring ones too. I'd re-read this and would recommend it in a heartbeat.
