1984

by George Orwell | Buy this book

It’s like a news update about today’s society and how life is like now but in a utopian setting

pierreT (London)

30 y old Frenchie who lives in London and want to get more into books! I am also working in tech and currently creating an app around books so hit me up if you are interested!

MarkB (London)

I moved to Beckenham in 2017 with my wife. I used to be an avid reader but fell away from it for some reason, however this year I'm making an effort to read more! I'm a Kiwi/Aussie who moved to the UK 22 years ago, and would like to meet other people to discuss books.

Abbey (London)

I moved to the UK in February and am looking to start a book club in South West London called Books and Snacks. Wanting to read a mix of genres such as fantasy, romance, thriller, and general fiction. Currently reading Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and the 4th book in the Thursday Murder Club series.

Harry (London)

I enjoy the classics and epics - particularly anything with mythological or religious narrative and symbolism. I also read non-fictions about these topics, often with philosophical or sociological leanings. Never been to a book club before, but would love to talk to people about these fascinating things - with what little I know and so much I could learn from others about these huge topics.

Vivien (London)

Literature lover. Just finished Mild Vertigo, currently reading The Illogic of Kassel. I'm in central london and would love to meet up for a coffee.

Vivien recommends:

Goodbye, Columbus

by Philip Roth | Buy this book

There's something majestic and nearly magical about Philip Roth's writing style. This book had my full attention when I was reading it. One of the five short stories "Epstein" gave me a type of O.Henry's impression. Recommend it.

Tai (London)

reading mainly fiction, classic as well as contemporary, English and translated. I work in healthcare and usually keep my passion for literature to myself - looking to expand my reading interests as well as meeting other bookish people. would love to find a book club in East London

Iona (London)

I’ve just moved to the area and would love to find a local book club to join

Cosyreads (London)

I like, romance, fantasy teen fiction, psychological fiction and non fiction, thrillers and more, but really to define it outside genres, I love emotional books that will wreck you. That's why my favourite book is As Long As The Lemon Trees Grows, as a young adult with a lot of free time at home, I think I need to join a book club to have some social interaction.

As Long As The Lemon Tree Grows

by Zoulfah Katouh | Buy this book

This book is incredible, I love how realistic it feels on many levels, which means the author has extensive knowledge or research and I find that to be quite admirable in modern books to have. It is quite emotional, it will lead you to read more books of its kin, if not research actual history.

Foxwood (London)

I am interested in womens history, sci-fi, fantasy, and the occult!

Foxwood recommends:

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Buy this book

I became completely entangled by this book, equally delighted, mystified, and intrigued. I've passed it on to several people and enjoyed good conversations on what we thought the book was about (everyone has their own take!)/

Cassie (London)

I've been in London for 2 years, would love to meet up with other people in London to chat about what we're reading!

Chris (London)

Retired 70 year old Brit , living in Wimbledon. Have lived and worked across many countries before returning to UK. Favourite genres include Biographies, History , Geo politics, Travel biographies……

Isabella (London)

I moved to London fairly recently and love reading so I would enjoy meeting people who want to discuss books and maybe become friends!

Tul71 (London)

Hello, I enjoy reading mainly non-fiction, but I am looking for new ways to engage my brain by reading a variety of genres and discussing the resultant thoughts that arise! Now in my 50's, and after lifetime of 'non-stuctured' activity, I would like to see what 'joining' has to offer, and what I can hopefully offer it! I live in Twickenham BTW, South West London.

Books and snacks (London)

I'm looking to start a book club in South West London with around five people reading mostly fantasy, romance, thriller, and general fiction. The group will meet to discus the chosen book once a month over a drink or two and some food. Books I've read recently and loved are: Tom Lake, Anastasia, The Only One Left, and Lessons in Chemistry. Some books on my TBR that I'm excited to read are: Tress of the Emerald Sea, Deadly Little Scandals, Rebecca, and The Fox Wife. If you are interested in reading some great books and chatting with friends then I'd love to hear from you!

Vee (London)

I'm looking for a book club where I can expand my horizons and where I can meet new people, build friendships and be part of an open-minded community. My favourite genres are: classic fiction, within non-fiction anything around anthropology, sociology, social sciences, feminism, gender studies and mythology and folklore.

Vee recommends:

Caliban and the Witch

by Silvia Federici | Buy this book

A wonderful, eye-opening and painful essay on how witch hunts, slavery and social repression were key to the birth of capitalism.

Abbey (London)

I love reading and when I find a great book I'm excited to talk about it and share my experience. I mostly enjoy fantasy, romantasy, historical fiction, and thrillers but recently I've been wanting to try new genres and read more general fiction. I would be keen to branch out into some classics as well. I recently moved to the UK and am wanting to meet new people and find some great friends.
