This week’s #TuesdayBookClub is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (trans. Burgin & O’Connor)—a mind-bending, metaphysical satire of Soviet life and power, full of mischief, melancholy and menace. Still one of the most daring novels ever written. #BookSky

This week’s #TuesdayBookClub choice is Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell—a raw, unsparing look at poverty, labour, and life in the margins. Orwell’s clarity and empathy still shine through, and sadly, not much has changed. #GeorgeOrwell #BookSky

This week’s #TuesdayBookClub is A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce—a novel that spoke to my teenage sense of dislocation and gave voice to things I hadn’t known how to express. It still feels electric. #JamesJoyce #Modernism

This week’s #TuesdayBookClub pick is The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks—a book that shaped how many of us think about the brain and its mysteries. Strange, moving, humane and still powerfully relevant. #OliverSacks #Neurodiversity #BookSky

This week’s #TuesdayBookClub is Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov—a comic, melancholic novel about a man who can't get out of bed and a class in decline. A quiet masterpiece that feels oddly relevant in the age of curated feeds and digital retreat.

Dame Jilly Cooper was far more than a bestselling novelist — she was a trailblazer.
Her wit, warmth & boldness helped reshape the space women could claim in literature.
We remember her today 👉 p-wavepress.co.uk/blog/files/r...

This week’s #TuesdayBookClub is Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence. It captured the frustration of growing up in a place that felt passed by, but also lit the spark of escape. A novel that still feels raw, tender and utterly real. #SonsAndLovers #DHLawrence #booksky

Our #TuesdayBookClub pick this week is The Awakening by Kate Chopin. It changed the way I read as a young man. One of the first books where I truly heard a powerful female voice on the page. A classic that still speaks volumes. 📖🔥 #TheAwakening #KateChopin
