Family

[close] Welcome to our book club — the cozy little corner of the world where stories are devoured, opinions are shared & characters are loved. Whether you’re a devoted page-turner, an audiobook addict, or someone who skims and hopes for the best, you’re in the right place. Our sessions are all about good chats, good company & good food & drink! Each month we pick a new title, explore big themes, share favourite lines, and wander wildly off-topic in ways that somehow always circle back to the book. It’s fun, friendly, and totally pressure-free. The perfect way to bring stories to life with people who love them just as much as you do… or at least love complaining about them. Come join us. Bring your book, your thoughts, your hot takes, and wine of choice. The plot twists await!

[close] In the awareness to expand our communication, this goodreads group is for the sharing books the Canterbury Station Readers Book Club has read over the years and talking about our current monthly reads. We meet in-person every month on the 2nd Wednesday at EoM. Happy Reading!

[close] However, I can offer some general suggestions based on what I've observed about male reading preferences: Popular genres among men: Thrillers: Filled with suspense, mystery, and danger, these keep you on the edge of your seat. Think Lee Child's Jack Reacher series or Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Science fiction: Exploring the vastness of space, encountering alien life, and grappling with technological advancements – it's no wonder many men are drawn to sci-fi. Asimov's Foundation series or Andy Weir's The Martian are good examples. Fantasy: Epic battles, mythical creatures, and magical worlds offer a thrilling escape from reality. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings or Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series are classics in this genre. Historical fiction: Immerse yourself in another time period, learn about real events, and meet larger-than-life historical figures. Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth or Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series are good options. Non-fiction: Biographies of inspiring figures, books about science and technology, or even self-help guides can be very engaging for men interested in learning and personal growth. Think Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs or Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers.
