Welcome to the Literature Society!
We are a warm and friendly society for all book lovers; if reading is your thing, you've come to the right place!
From romance to horror, classics to contemporary, we love to hear all about your reads. We run fun, bi-weekly book clubs for you to share your favourite, weirdest, most boring books, or even those you haven't gotten around to reading yet. Come along every-other Wednesday at 4pm. Don't worry, there's no set reading!
Alongside our book clubs, we host an array of socials, such as our beloved bookshop crawls where you can explore Norwich, the City of Literature, film screenings and theatre trips, quiz nights with fun book-themed prizes, cover designing sessions, and an end-of-year lit-convention; there is plenty for you to enjoy this year.
As a LitSoc member, you can attend our socials and book clubs, meet like-minded people, and discover new books. With the opportunity to share your thoughts and attend talks by authors, you can build your confidence by engaging in our chatty discussions. LitSoc has formed many friendships in past years, and we hope to create many more!
The Literature Society is for everyone - no, you don't need to be a literature student! We welcome students from across the schools at UEA.
Also, who likes the sound of LitSoc merch? Tote bag, anyone?
