Seeking a book club

Kate (Wakefield)

Seeking a book club

I've got a job that's quite boring so I read a lot to pass the time. I've been trying to read a book a week for the last few years. Sometimes one will take a month then I'll get through 3 in a week! Books are my escape and I'd like someone to share my enthusiasm. I read a wide range of things and I know there's great stuff in all genres but my favourites are probably Sci-Fi and dystopias. I definitely read more non-fiction though: science, history, politics, comedy and autobiographies mostly.

Kate recommends:

Babel

by R.F. Kuang | Learn more and buy

It took me a while to get into this and I thought it might be a bit too academic for me but I persisted and it really paid off once I understood the ideas coming together. It combines history and Sci-Fi to tell important truths about the world which I was somewhat ignorant of. Best book I've read this year.

Kate (Leeds)

Seeking a book club

Looking for a book club to join to relax, read more books and have a nice chat with some like-minded people. Hoping to broaden my book reading range but I prefer books based on history or realism.

Heather recommends:

Madame Bovary

by Gustave Flaubert | Learn more and buy

I really enjoyed the psychology behind the characters and that it was based in France which I enjoyed as it mentally took me away from my surroundings and I could fully emerse myself into reading the book.

I am over 50, love reading and would like to join a book club nearby. It would be good to combine this with an odd wine or two and not too serious!

Annie P recommends:

Life of Pi

by Yann Martell | Learn more and buy

It evoked discussion about religion, identity, family loyalty. It combined this with fantasy and was very well written. Easily understood but could be interpreted in different ways.
