I dug a bit, and this seemed the most appropriate place to post this, as it’s a bit of an odd ask.

American here, recovering from surgery and so with time on my hands - your Commons presents quite a cast of characters to the world, some of them come across more effectively as caricatures than actual serious politicians. Not that our Congress is better, but at least yours have some general courtesy and a little self deprecating humor.

During the Brexit debate, a number of folks stood out to me, and it’s now been long enough there are some decent books on the same. Is it too soon to “book club” something like Bercow’s autobiography, Seldon on May(not) at 10, or the like?

Johnson feels very much too soon, given the parallels to our own former President, but I’d also like to tackle Ashcroft’s Jacob’s Ladder - speaking of people who are more effective as caricatures!

If there’s a better place to put this, or an existing group I’ve somehow missed, please let me know.

To me, trading thoughts on the outsized characters from different perspectives sounds like fun, and possibly fun that will stretch my brain back into shape a bit while I’m stuck recovering.
