We are open to men and women who are interested in lively literary debate, want to meet some new interesting people and have some fun.

While we …

If you're longing for intellectual discussions and love literature then this is the group for you. I've toyed with this idea for some time but have finally decided to go actively looking for a group that will dawdle over coffee or dinner for hours and hours.. If the idea of violent but civilised discussions on classic literature and poetry fills you with excitement then I hope you'll find a home here. A large group is not the idea at all. A small tightly knit group which shares similar interest …

Hello Everyone, I've started this book club because I'd like to read a bit more and also meet some new people.

The group is primarily aimed at 25 to 45 year olds who enjoy reading books that typically appear in top 100 lists. We may do a few classics however the aim is to enjoy rather …

Do you know how the World is going to end? These authors do! We are a group of friends who realized that we are interested in post-apocalyptic books and as half joke decided to start a book club dedicated to it. We will be meeting once a month in a pub in Central London to chat about a pre-chosen post-apocalyptic themed book, as well as organizing movie nights and pub crawls. Also, we are an equal opportunity group and don't discriminate against those who are into dystopic lit, so if you fancy …

Great. Just what the worlds crying out for...another book group, covering another overpopulated area of London. Camden this time. Its a nice area with good bars apparently. We'll see.... So, here we are filling a possible gap in the market. If you enjoy reading while the planets going down the pan, want to share your unoriginal half -baked thoughts with other entities who are equally inept in original expression, then this is the group for you. Okay....enough of the cynicism. We meet monthly and …

I think it's about time that Wimbledon Village had its own book club. What I have in mind is a group that comes together to discuss books, probably mostly fiction but with a little other stuff thrown into the mix and meeting over coffee, or food, or drinks in a local cafe, restaurant or bar. There may be the occasional 'other event' like a 'meet the author' or a theatre trip, but with books and friendly discussion at the core. At great way to make new friends or cement friendships too. If you'd …

The meetups will be relaxed and informal, but a good chance to get a variety of people together. If I get much …

Writing can be difficult and lonely. Sometimes we need to get out and away from our own distractions and excuses. Pubs, cafes and parks are nice but wouldn't it also be good to be part of a group of writers? So let's work quietly together, gently encouraging each other to soldier on, and minding each others things when we have to go to the loo... THE IDEA Is simple. We are a group of serious writers that meet somewhere comfortable and write for 2, 3 or 4 hours straight. Each person works on th …
