Matt (Colchester)

Hello, my name is Matt, in my early 40s, I have recently moved to near Manningtree where I dont know many people and I am trying to experience new things in this all too short life. Looking to reinvigorate my old love of reading which has sadly taken a back seat in recent years to looking at my phone/the Internet. I like to read anything really from non fiction books about historical events such as wars etc to good fiction to autobiographies or anything really. Be great to meet a like minded person who would like to connect (whether in person or online) and discuss books/reading recommendations etc.
