Matthew

Seeking a book club

I'm a bit of a haphazard academic and spend most of my time between working outdoors on trees! Really looking to expand my reading list and meet some like minded people. Reading tastes range from Irvine Welsh to Tom Sharpe and everything in between - I quite like the macabre and dark humour.

Matthew recommends:

Clockwork orange by Anthony Burgess
Clockwork orange
by Anthony Burgess | Learn more and buy
It's written in a made up language that is loosely based on Russian. Your brain adapts to it quite quickly, and it ties in with the dystopian theme of the book.
Porterhouse blue by Tom Sharpe
Porterhouse blue
by Tom Sharpe | Learn more and buy
Its a dark comic farce that plumbs the depths of archaic English institutions in a way that is funny without relying on satire.

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Rose, 30, love reading and would like to get into more hobbies alongside this. Would love to meet a group of people who share a passion for reading too and have depth to them. A little book club or something of the kind would be a dream to join. Drop me a message if you feel similar :)

Max

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Max(32M) I would like to read more and make time for this as a hobby and feel there is almost too much choice! I would find being part of a group a good way to discover books/authors/genres that I would usually not gravitate to.

Storybook Ending by Moira Macdonald
Storybook Ending
by Moira Macdonald | Learn more and buy
Looks like your average romance on the outside, but it's a surprisingly witty story with really intriguing characters. Reads a little like a book of short stories at times, took me by surprise as a favourite!

Joel

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Joel, I'm 41, from Southampton, and work at the university. I loved reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and have since written my own book titled 'Human Supremacy' to be published later this year and so would love people to read it as beta readers. Honest feedback would be hugely appreciated!

Strange, intriguing and beautifully written. This book really transports you to a new place. It genuinely gave me the creeps and left me with pondering some deeper psychological questions!
