South Manchester Book Group: See Saw

South Manchester Book Group

We're a friendly and open reading group, and we share a love of books and discussing them with other people. We meet every fortnight, but you don't have to come to them all. It's dead simple; choose a book you like the sound of, read it (or even part of it) beforehand and turn up with a few ideas and money for beer / wine / flirtinis. It's very informal, and we're quite a friendly bunch. We meet at a pub in Didsbury around 8.30 pm, and can usually be found on the table with the books and flirtinis.

We've become rather popular recently so unfortunately aren't accepting new members just at the moment. But please drop us a line on the Contact Us form and we'll add you to our mailing list.

Our reading list, past, present, and future, appears here and a short version of what we’re reading next is here.

See Saw — Timothy Ogene

Until the lion learns to speak, the tale will always be the hunter's.

A ‘recovering writer’ — his first novel having been littered with typos and selling only fifty copies — Frank Jasper is plucked from obscurity in Port Jumbo in Nigeria by Mrs Kirkpatrick, the wife of an American professor, to attend the prestigious William Blake Program for Emerging Writers in Boston.

This week's book is See Saw by Timothy Ogene and we'll be meeting at Ye Olde Cocke on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury — contact us for details.
