Jack (Taunton)

Hi! My name is Jack, in my mid-twenties and I am looking to join a book club. I seem to enjoy literary fiction with quite a few of my favourites being postmodern sort of stuff. I also go for psychological fiction as well as some thrillers. I am keen and open to broadening that scope though! My favourite author is Vonnegut I would say but I read books very different to his style too. I am looking to have people to discuss a book with!

Typically read fantasy genre as well as Manga/Manhwa though looking to do some reading into other genres.

Grant recommends:

Gardens of the moon

by Steven Erikson | Buy this book

This start to an epic fantasy series is well worth reading if you like fantasy books on an epic scale. Steven Erikson fleshes out the characters and environment with strong attention to detail though if you want to read something with one or two characters this series probably won’t be for you.

Ravenheart

by David Gemmell | Buy this book

A true coming of age, teen fantasy book. This was one of my first introductions into the fantasy genre when I was younger and is still one of my favourite books. The book does have prequels to give you an understanding of the history of the world however is not required reading for this book.
