The Imperial Alumni Book Club is here
Try something new today: connect with fellow Imperial graduates online to read and discuss books. There is no cost to join, you just have to source a copy of the books.
How does it work?
The Club will connect through a private online forum where members can discuss the current book and network with each other. The group will spend about two months on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read.
Why should you join?
You don't need a reason to pick up a book, but here are three advantages of choosing to read with us:
- Take time for yourself to learn something new or discover a book you might not have chosen.
- Connect with Imperial alumni over words and ideas, have a conversation and enjoy a good debate.
- Benefit from professional moderators and facilitators to make sure you have a great experience and so the chat stays on track.
Our current book:
Look Closer by David Ellis (May - July 2025)
Simon and Vicky couldn't seem more a wealthy Chicago couple with a stable, if unexciting, marriage. But with these two... absolutely nothing is what it seems. When a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky's complex web of secrets begins to unravel. A whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and an obsession with revenge. Both Vicky and Simon are liars - but just who exactly is conning who? Prepare to question everything you think you know in this wickedly clever novel of greed, revenge, obsession - and quite possibly the perfect murder.
