This book group will meet once per month, during the evening of the 3rd Monday of the month at 7:30pm. The location will move around each month but will usually aim to be in a gastro-pub so that you have the choice of dinner and a variety of beverages. We will discuss a book that has been turned into a film. While I suspect the discussion will focus mostly on the book, I hope that the conversation will also encompass the movie too: which medium best told the story? What was the most successful a …

This book club is for all economics minded people in London! Our aim is to read and discuss one every month on a given topic.

For example in February 2013, we are reading 'Think, Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman which was selected from a list containing Nudge and Animal Spirits. "Most people would sooner …

Do you know how the World is going to end? These authors do!

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.

The Women Writing Women Book Group will meet once a month in Central London to discuss novels written by women about women, the clue is kind of in the name! 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.

Unlike most others, our book club offers an opportunity to discuss a recent read while enjoying food and wine.

"Instead of the modernist quest for meaning in a chaotic world, the postmodern author eschews, often playfully, the possibility of meaning, and the postmodern novel is often a parody of this quest. Postmodern authors also tend to celebrate chance over craft, and further employ metafiction to undermine the writer's authority. Another characteristic of postmodern literature is the questioning of distinctions between high and low culture through the use of pastiche, the combination of subjects and …
