Paul (London)

Looking to read, discuss and expand. Like modern (late 20th century, 21st century) classics, prize winners, not too deep, not too shallow. Not really a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, or non-fiction, though can be persuaded when they are great. Favourite books: Hot Milk by Deborah Levy, Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey, and Night by Edna O'Brien (all might change tomorrow though).

Paul recommends:

Hi all, I’m Elena and I have recently set up a free online book club. We’ll be meeting on Zoom on 8th October to discuss Me before you. New members welcome!

North London Reading Group (London)

A well-established book group that has recently lost members as they have moved out of London We read fiction, but avoid classics as many people have read them/some. We are very open but have some rough guidelines: fiction, 400 pages or less. That's it. The number of pages is hopefully to mean that if a book isn't to your taste then you have a chance of reading it and supplementing it with something you don't like. If you don't finish, come anyway! We take it in turns to choose a book a d meet in a pub, usually in the King's Cross area but not too strict, and like wine with our books!
