Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

Drama, romance, fantasy, dragons. It's quite fast paced and the FMC & MMC are just chefs kiss.

James

I love the written word and even spend hours reading YouTube comments (sad I know!) which are often hilarious and give insights into human psychology and snippets of peoples lives. I read various genres from authors such as Stephen King, George RR Martin, Sharon K Penman (Historical fiction), Charles Dickens, George Orwell, JD Salinger, Vince Flynn, etc. I particularly love smelly, dusty old books and have a small library at home. I would love to meet other like minded book worms and enthusiasts for the written word. I also love 3d movies and video games but books are my favourite.

James recommends:

Joyland

by Stephen King | Learn more and buy

One of his shorter novels. A murder mystery based in a theme park in the US. It is a coming of age tale packed with nostalgia of dreams and loves lost and although it has Scooby Doo vibes (which sounds terrible!) and The Catcher in Rye vibes and is not one of his better written novels. It is a great introduction to a writer who has been pigeon holed as a horror writer whereas his novels are more about the human condition than anything else. Don't be surprised if you end up in pieces reading Joyland. I've never read another author with the capacity to tug on my heartstrings like Stephen King. And he does nostalgia like no-one else. He is a genius of sorts!

TBC

Hello everyone, I am a male in my late twenties who lives in East Kilbride and is hoping to start a book club for people who are open minded and love discussing and analysing books. I want this group to be a safe space for people who love reading regardless of who they are and how they identify. In terms of what kind of books we read, that would of course be better to decide as a group once we are up and running but I thought it could be a nice idea to read some of the considered greatest classics of all time as a jumping off point?

Pablo

I enjoy different genres and looking for some friends to discuss books and make some connections

Pablo recommends:
