The name of the wind

The characters are just amazing...

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

The Outsider

by Albert Camus | Buy this book

Just revisited this classic. Still relevant in today’s society

Federica

Hi! I’m 24 and absolutely love reading. I mostly read classics, contemporary fiction and philosophy books but there’s no genre I wouldn’t like to explore more. I want to join a book club to make some new friends in Manchester since I haven’t lived here for long!

Federica recommends:

If on a winter's night a traveler

by Italo Calvino | Buy this book

I think this is a really fun and underrated classic. It's probably one of the most "meta" books I've ever read as the main character is you, "the reader" and the story starts when you begin reading a book but realise that the pages are out of order so you go on a quest to try to find the "correct" copy. It discusses what is means to be an author, a reader and the relationship between fiction and life, all in a very fun and engaging plot. If you want a book about books, this is it!

Natalie
