Andrew
I am an artist, in my early 60s, and have been catching up on some of the great literature that I never read when I was younger. From The Odyssey to Ulysses, plus powerful newer writers such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and beautiful classics such as The Great Gatsby. Also occasional non-fiction, political or historical. I would like to find a small group to chew over books such as these, to be introduced to some new ideas……and to have a bit of fun in the process.

I teach English at a local secondary school and would love the chance to talk books with some grown ups and meet some new people!

Used to belong to an amazing independent book club which totally broadened my genres and books that I would have been ignored. Love fiction but not a fan of science fiction or fantasy. I am an avid reader and miss a local gathering to discuss a chosen book.

Abby
I (29) have recently moved to Oxford and looking to join a book club to meet new people and chat about books. I’m trying to set good habits in the New Year and would love to join a book club to help with this. I read a mixture of fiction and non-fiction and am not particularly fussy.

My sister (28) just moved to Oxford, and I (31) will be staying with her for almost two months. We're looking for a fun, like-minded group to gather with and discuss our favorite books. Both of us are passionate readers and have enjoyed being part of several book clubs in the past. Our tastes are eclectic—everything from romance and fantasy to hard science, non-fiction, and horror. We’re always down for casual meetups at the pub, but we especially love the idea of themed events!

Lucy
Hi I'm Lucy - I'm in my 30s, and I love to read. Most recent on my read list are: The count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, The History of the world in six glasses by Tom Standage The Very Secret Society of irregular witches by Sangu Mandanna. I read anything from non-fiction to Classics, art theory to romantasy - love to apply the things I've read in theory to the texts I'm reading. Currently reading: girl online by Joanna Walsh (a manifesto of sorts about the ways women interact with online spaces) and Vanity Fair by Thackeray. Looking to either join and start a book group with people who want to read together, talk about what we're reading, drink some wine and make pals. (non alcoholic beverages are of course available!)

I am a teacher and like to read a wide range of books including non-fiction. I have other hobbies too including walking, tennis and nature. I love birdwatching and going for walks after dark to listen to owls.
