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. Also, we are an equal opportunity group and don't discriminate against those who are into dystopic lit, so if you fancy …

A monthly meet up in a central London venue to swap, give away, recommend and talk about business books.

Freakonomics or Wikinomics? Richard Branson or Felix Dennis? Discuss this, and other things (with beer). We'll be having an author speaker at each event.

"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 …

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 …
