To be taught, if fortunate

I have never read anything else like it. The sense of exploration and scientific wonder - and isolation from the world - is incredibly appealing!

Old-Fangled Book Club

New book club, fiction/non-fiction/poetry, welcoming anyone.

Stace

I love reading and would love to meet like-minded people to chat about books we have read and make new friends.

Nigel

I'm a retired doctor, author and painter based in Eastville. I've mostly read historical and literary fiction but I'm exploring new-to-me genres such as Sci Fi and Sci Fantasy to find authors I like.

Nigel recommends:

Fraud

by Zadie Smith | Learn more and buy

A dive into what freedom means for women of a certain age and for people with Afro-Caribbean heritage, the scars and humiliations of centuries of slavery, the question of reparations. I still puzzle over the motivations of Andrew Bogle but I admire the way that Zadie brings him alive and articulate. A great novel much maligned or misunderstood in other reviews.

Mrs Stevens

Fantasy fiction, psychological and crime thrillers, any great character development works. A avid audiobook on dog walks listener, I rarely get to sit down with a book but always looking out for new reads and people to talk about them

My Brillant Friend

by Elena Ferrante | Learn more and buy

the whole quartet is so beautiful, so many complex themes delved into with such care and detail.

Will Loves Books

My name is WIll and I am looking to join a book club, to broaden my reading horizons. I have just finished Conn Iggulden - Wolf of the plains, which was fantastic. But I want to try other authors and subjects! and feel joining a club will help.

Wolf of the plains

by Conn Iggulden | Learn more and buy

It takes you back to the birth of one of histories greatest characters Genghis Khan. The detail and storytelling is so good and is an author I always enjoy.
