Ramis (Bournemouth)

Somewhat new to reading so I’m open to genres. Looking to make new friends and chat with others who enjoy reading. I’m a 21 year old dude and I’m interested in making friends around my age and in book clubs for young adults! While I am interested in hearing recommendations for all genres, I’m particularly keen on reading the literary classics that the video game “Limbus Company” derives its main cast from. So far I have read a handful of these and have enjoyed them a lot! Do contact me if you know any Bournemouth-based book clubs or just want to talk books! My Instagram is @coolramis if you’d rather contact me through non-email means.

The Stranger

by Albert Camus | Learn more and buy

Very short but enjoyable read. Straightforward and easy to read through. Despite its short nature, the book has some very interesting ideas and contains themes relating to existentialism and absurdism which I personally found very fascinating!

Ryan (Poole)

Hey! I’m Ryan, a mid-20s bookworm looking to meet new friends who also read. I’ll read anything; classical literature, romance, fantasy, horror, nature writing, you name it.

The Martian

by Andy Weir | Learn more and buy

The unrelenting optimism of the main character is incredibly inspiring, along with his fun sense of humour, insane scientific detail and sense of adventure.
