Cover of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The cover image is simplified in a small number of colour tones. At the top of the image, the clothed waist and legs of Gulliver are depicted with buckle shoes, standing astride the landscape and against a lime green background. Between his legs the author's name appears in an old script. At his feet are the silhouettes of tiny people, across which his leg casts a shadow.  In front of those, the title of the novel appears in capital letters, Gulliver's Travels

Description

The Must Read Before You Die Book Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 2pm at Dulwich Library, to discuss a book from the '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die' list. This month it's 'Gulliver's Travels' by Jonathan Swift; an eighteenth-century satire that has inspired many adaptations.

You don't need to do anything special to join - just pick up a copy from the information desk at the library, or reserve an eBook or eAudio copy for free with your Southwark Libraries membership using BorrowBox, and come along on the day. You're welcome to join us even if you haven't finished the book, so long as you don't mind spoilers!

If you'd like to join in the discussion, but can't join us on the day, Southwark Libraries Online Reading Group will also be discussing the same book on Thursday 17 April from 6.45pm. For more details of either group, and to join the mailing list to be kept in touch with our reading programme in future, email wes.white@southwark.gov.uk
