Brian Aldiss-Three Types of Solitude/Isaac Asimov- The Last Question

This week, we will be dipping into Science Fiction with Brian Aldiss's Three Types of Solitude (available from Faber Stories as both a physical copy or ebook) and the short story that Isaac Asimov identified as his favourite by his own hand- The Last Question, available widely for free online.

The Short Reads Club Aims to be a celebration of short-form writing, perfect for anyone who wants to join a book club but doesn't have the time or energy to invest in longer reads, people looking for a gentle route back into regular reading, and, of course, general fans of short stories.

Twice a month we will read a different short story/stories connected either by theme or author. We read across genres and always welcome suggestions of great pieces to add to our tbr.

We meet in The Amnesty Bookshop on Micklegate. Teas and coffees will be available.

There is an attendance fee of £2 per person, this goes towards the Meetup fees and snacks. Any excess funds at the end of the year will be donated to Amnesty International UK as thanks for the use of the bookshop.
