A South London reading circle publishes meeting notes, seasonal reading lists, and the house rules behind its monthly discussions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The archive is organized into numbered cards, including HO 001 on the circle’s book-selection method and HO 005 on a meeting where nobody had finished the book. Its documented customs include a paper jar, a veto, reading at a human pace, and keeping notes so absence does not become exclusion. The site also records experiments such as reading the same chapter in two translations and taking one chapter outdoors for a hill-and-bench session.
