[close] The official group of the podcast "Literary Lunch", where Beth and V review and talk about 2 short stories a week. This is a space for discussion on previous and future picks, as well as for suggestions of stories you want to see us talk about. We want to hear what you think!

[close] We read literary fiction from 2000 to present, with the intent of finding those literary gems of timeless and enduring quality. We're less focused on the latest bestsellers, or discussing books already well-represented in other groups. Our passion is to explore works, from around the world, which stand a chance of being remembered fifty years from now. In addition to seeking out books with literary merit, we also encourage lively and thought-provoking discussions. All are welcome to join 21CL, whether you're already a fan of literary fiction, or just starting to explore.

[close] This group is for anyone who loves books from different genres. An interactive reading club for anyone who wishes to further their reading repertoire. We want to encourage each other to read more books and poetry, discuss them together and recommend works you wish more people would know and talk about with you. Join us, invite your friends and enjoy!
