Chinese Literature Book Club

This is a book club focusing on classic Chinese novels, meeting monthly in central London, with a friendly and casual environment. We primarily operate via WhatsApp, and typcally have around 5-8 attendees per session. Please contact the organiser at londonchinesebookclub@proton.me for more information.

If you are wondering where to start with Chinese literature, this is the place.

We have currently read to the end of volume 3 of Outlaws of the March (The Water Margin) and volume 2 of The Story of the Stone (Dream of the Red Chamber). If you are interested, I reccomend picking up these books at volume 1, as we are certain to continue with them in the future.

No special knowledge is expected, and all works are read in English translation.
