Michael

Hello all. Would like to find people to form a casual, social book club with. My tastes are eclectic: classic lit, poetry, contemporary American fiction, some sci-fi (Philip K. Dick, etc.), some fantasy (Tolkien and Peake, etc.), world lit, Japanese lit (Abe Kobo), essays, history, primary historical sources, some science, psychotherapy (I’m a trainee counsellor). I write weird fiction and poetry. I like novelty. My ideal book club is varied, occasionally arcane. I’m a squirrel chaser and I get bored reading the same sort of thing over and over. Hit me up if any of this interests you.

Deen

Hi, I am 24 year old guy looking to get into reading more - I'm mainly interested in literature subjected around romance, tragedy, thrillers and horrors - but open to new topics also. Based around Manchester/Greater Manchester so reach out if you want to start something hopefully productive and social!

Deen recommends:

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four
by George Orwell | Buy this book
Eerily reminiscent of our current times... Powerful read, harrowing ending. Focuses on the pressures society has on an individual and the persistent and how free will and thought can be malleated and forgotten. Quite popular for a reason - if you have not read already, read!

AlexiaR

My name is Alexia im 24 years old and i have always had that curiosity for books but never had the patience for it and im pretty lazy when it comes to reading at all. I love that idea of spending the whole afternoon reading in a cosy space at home, as a good house rat. I would love to have a group to read with and to give me more of an incentive when it comes to reading as well as good books to choose from the experience of others. I love romance , fiction and romantic comedies and i am also a business psychology student which requires me to read a lot thus i would love to develop that patience for reading.

Manchester Comics Society

I've elected to set up a group where Manchester comic & graphic novel fans can meet regularly to discuss their favourite books, give recommendations, encourage further reading, and generally socialise. I'm also interested in regular novels, as well as writing, which could be components which are added to the group's purpose later down the line, depending on what others want.

I've been an avid reader since childhood. Now in my 60's and retired I've never been a member of a book club. Although I've participated in a couple of Instagram buddy reads
