Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper reports on an initiative to encourage reading that took place in an English high school in 2021/22. It involved extending a long-running science fiction club so as to address SF literature, as well as films and television. The hosts aimed to stimulate reading by directing the club’s members to a range of media-related books and seek items for themselves through the use of a database that provided citations of appropriate volumes and details of their availability. The methods employed to stimulate reading have wide transferability and could be employed in relation to a range of genres.
