Alan (Bradford)

Seeking a book club

Language and story keeps one alive. They outlast us. Yet stories do not die. They become other stories. Don't they?

Alan recommends:

COLD MOUNTAIN

by Charles Frazier | Learn more and buy

Good literature is almost impossible to define. Partly it is the quality of silence between words. The quality of silence at the end of a line. COLD MOUNTAIN is a journey. Although there is a destination, it is written without a horizion. One can hear Henry James or Anais Nin saying... 'All stories of worth are about love.' Even within tragedy there is a kindling. An emotional gravity one cannot resist. Compelling narrative and characters become insperable from ourselves. Story has no end. It becomes other stories.

Global South meets West Yorkshire (Halifax)

Book club

This is a Meetup Group (see the App) for a mix of in-person and online meetings in different parts of West Yorkshire, starting with Halifax. The focus is on global south authors and themes.

Alia (Halifax)

Seeking a book club

30 year old philosophy and english grad. Just moved to West Yorkshire. Currently in love with the magical realism of Marquez's work and the clarity of Edward Said. Looking for people to challenge my interpretations and to make sure I finish the books I start! Note: I have set up a group on Meetup called Global South meets West Yorkshire.

Alia recommends:

In the Time of the Butterflies

by Julia Alvarez | Learn more and buy

This is book is so colorful and immersive, so full of smells and textures, yet at the same time so dark. It is a very personal insight into the lives of those who opposed tyranny in Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Both tragic and inspiring.

Jodie (Huddersfield)

Seeking a book club

I'm 24, and a librarian so fit into the stereotype of loving to read! I have no one in my life to discuss books with, so would love to make friends with fellow book lovers :) I like quite a mix of genres, but literary fiction, magical realism and horror usually get 5 ⭐ from me
