Bookish Amy (Taunton)

Seeking a book club

Hiya, looking to start a book club in Taunton to meet monthly on a weekday evening, with books spanning both fiction and non-fiction. In fiction I particularly enjoy cosy crime, fantasy, classics, contemporary literature and historical fiction; in non-fiction, I enjoy history, philosophy, science and societal commentaries. Would like to discover some new and interesting reads!

Bookish Amy recommends:

Mort

by Terry Pratchett | Learn more and buy

Pratchett is the absolute pinnacle of fantasy writing for me as he combines it with a razor sharp wit and societal satire. Mort is a particularly good entry book for anyone interested in the Discworld series of books.

Nemisa (Taunton)

Warhammer 40K, 10th Edition, Age of Sigmar, 3rd Edition.

Tom (Bridgwater)

Seeking a book club

76 year old retired College teacher with an interest in religions and cosmology, in the broadest sense. I am not a "geek" but have a curious mind which, it feels, is always searching for something to seriously engage the "why am I here?" question. I have one wife and ten children. They are my life and I am well blessed - but why and for what reason?

Tom recommends:

Falling Upward

by Richard Rohr | Learn more and buy

Although I find him a "difficult read", I sometimes wonder what he is saying exactly, reading the book left me feeling a warmth and comfort that I can only ever remember feeling as a small child at home with my parents.
