jamjar16 (St Albans)

Seeking a book club

I’m 17 and have loved reading forever, especially political and psychological books, such as anything by Marquez. I also find connecting over books is a great way to understand new perspectives and make friends, and so would love to do it more

One Hundred Years of Solitude
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez | Learn more and buy
Marquez’s overarching, sprawling style makes you feel intensely nostalgic for a place and people who never even existed

I am in my 50's and looking to join a book club in the Hertford/WGC area. I enjoy most genres - Romance/Thriller etc with the exception of really historical books. It would be lovely to meet others and discuss books.

Martin (Watford)

Seeking a book club

I'm conscious that I've got out of the habit of reading, which I used to love. I want to rediscover that love but in a more thoughtful way. I've never been in a book club before, but think the right books and the right people are just what I need.

Hattie (Hemel Hempstead)

Seeking a book club

I'm on a gap year and looking to still engage with literature, especially with those who are well-read and I can learn from. Currently reading: Vanity Fair

Hattie recommends:

No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
No Country for Old Men
by Cormac McCarthy | Learn more and buy
The characters and action is engaging and the writing style, though simple, is illustrative in its omission. Definitely worth a read!
Hot Milk by Deborah Levy
Hot Milk
by Deborah Levy | Learn more and buy
The central character's journey is winding and eventful, where the lines between her perception of reality and actual events are blurred by her stream-of-consciousness writing style.

Emma (Hertford)

Seeking a book club

I’ve lived in Hertford now a couple of years and really would love to join a book club to have discussions and thoughts on a book that others are also reading. I like all genres but probably keep away from historical reads. I read everything from autobiographies to easy readers. Would love to join the club when you’re starting a new book. Thank you Emma

Emma recommends:

Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow
by Gabrielle Zevin | Learn more and buy
It’s great to read how the dynamics of a friendship can change over time. This was an exciting read on a topic of creating gaming which was original and really informative. There were highs and there were lows in love and in sad times..but all in all an enjoyable read. Gabrielle Zevin is brilliant story teller that I enjoyed very much.

Bryony (Rickmansworth)

Seeking a book club

Looking for a local book club covering a variety of genres

Bryony recommends:

Life after life  by Kate Atkinson
Life after life
by Kate Atkinson | Learn more and buy
As always with Atkinson this book is beautifully written and combines some heart breaking subjects and the authors usual black humour. The book follows the life/ lives of Ursula who is re-born multiple times, each time learning from the mistakes of her previous life. A really unusual concept but brilliantly pulled off.

Joe (Kings Langley)

Seeking a book club

I have a wide variety of interests and like trying new things. Just turned fifty a few months ago but still feel like a boy inside. I love to travel, but with family, work and concerns for the environment, I have been travelling less and less over the years...but a book can take you anywhere and everywhere.

Joe recommends:

The Bell by Iris Murdoch
The Bell
by Iris Murdoch | Learn more and buy
I actually meant to pick up the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, but confused the purchase. I found the Bell absorbing and tense. Challenging relationships where there are various levels of abusive power dynamics. Mental health, religious orthodoxy and sex combine to make it heady and disturbing reading.

Joe (Kings Langley)

Seeking a book club

I like reading all sorts. Often stick to the classics unless I get a good recommendation. Some favourite contemporary authors would include, Marlon James, Johnathan Franzen and Barbara Kingsolver...it would be nice to find some local people to chat about them over a beer, wine or cup of tea...
