kubrick7 (Whitehaven)

Looking for new friends—ideally the kind who enjoy sitting across a table, talking through a book properly. Not just “what did you think?” but getting into the ideas, teasing out meaning, and maybe disagreeing a bit along the way. I’m a husband and a dad. Until recently I’d have said I was a die-hard introvert, but in a twist on the usual trend, the older I get, the more curious I’ve become about other people. I read with a pen in hand and tend to lean toward heavier nonfiction—philosophy, psychoanalysis, that kind of thing. But when fiction lands, it really lands. I’ve spent the last year focusing on books by women. Anne Brontë might be my favourite of the sisters—I think we share a dry sense of humour. My favourite detective is Inspector Morse. The most interesting novel you probably haven’t heard of? The Vorrh by Brian Catling. Strange, beautiful, and worth the time. Based in Whitehaven. If that sounds like your kind of conversation, get in touch.

Sarah (Ulverston)

Hi. Would love to join in with a book club. Love walking, cycling and a daily dose of Pilates keeps me moving. Love autobiographical works or a good romance or thriller. Need to return to steady reading after a period of not even opening a book for a good time.

Dry by Augusten Burroughs
Dry
by Augusten Burroughs | Buy this book
Fascinating insight not only into one person's battle with the bottle but also his road to being sober. Funny (laugh out loud funny in places) but also poignant. Makes you think.

Laura-Anne (Barrow-in Furness)

Hey, 30 Yr old, crime fiction, thriller fiction lover for reads. But also wanting to start reading my sort of "smutty spicy" fiction books on my tbr (to be read) pile in my shelf. Somewhat shy and energetic at the same time, but easy to talk to and easy to get along with once more comfortable around someone, I'm also a friendly person and can be quite active when it's things like hiking/fell walking/normal walks (don't drive though so yeh) . Living in Barrow and joined this site to get to know people perhaps a little more local or even maybe along the Cumbria coastal area.

Laura-Anne recommends:
