Places are limited to 20 people, so please do book early to avoid disappointment. Payment can be made in cash on the day. However, sho …

"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 …

Hi guys! This is a book club for people of all colours, but focusing on books of black origins. There are so many titles, genres and authors that are overlooked in traditional book clubs and I think it will be not only fun, but informative to explore them in a relaxed and intellectual environment.

Been having a wander around this site and noticed that living in Esher, there are not many groups around the area for people who just want to have a kick around. So with that in mind I thought I would put some feelers out to see how many gents or ladies of any ability or age would be interested in joining a group to meet new people and play a game of non-aggressive footy and just plain and simply have a laugh. The games will be played around the Esher, Walton, Surbiton, Cobham areas, although I …
