Sobre nosotros
NB: If you're an author who's been asked for a PDF or payment to be featured at an event (eg with the surname Margaret), unfortunately that's a scam from an email address unrelated to the group.
A book club in SE London, everyone welcome. We aim to meet once a month on a Monday 7pm to discuss a book chosen by those who attended the previous one.
There isn't a particular theme to this book club but we'll read more or less equal numbers of books by female and male authors.

Shorter dystopia: I Who Have Never Known Men (1995) by Jacqueline Harpman
The Shirker's Rest, 9 Lewisham Way, London, GBA haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic tale of female friendship and intimacy set in a deserted world, written by Belgian author Jacqueline Harpman.
If you've been before and would like to help pay for the Meetup group, you can contribute "£1-2" per meeting (now collected around Dec & Jun). This optional payment does not apply to your first meeting and no-one is turned away for lack of funds.
General plan: by 7pm some of us should be in the upstairs room at the pub but we usually start by discussing books to read in future in case anyone arrives late. Typically we'll talk about the book until after 8pm, when there's a short break to go to the bar, then any further discussion till after 9, though of course you can leave at any point.
The Shirker's Rest takes cards, not cash, and serves a range of soft drinks, wine and spirits in addition to their beer and cider selection https://theshirkersrest.co.uk/drinks/ - they don't have a kitchen but encourage you to order from https://yardsalepizza.com/menu/ ..!
