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 pm. We 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.

Brontësaurus

Currer, Acton, and Ellis ... which Bell Brontë is which ? Confused ?  Let the Brontësaurus ease your burthen ...

This section of the Brontësaurus is from the magnificent Hark A Vagrant by the brilliant Kate Beaton.

The National Theatre of Brent in its The Arts and How They Was Done series has an instructive episode on the Brontës.

A Brontë pastiche can be found here
