All listings in Hertfordshire

Aida (Watford)

Love books, movies, video games and basically all media. Chronically online millennial looking to chat with like minded people

Joe (Kings Langley)

I have a wide variety of interests and like trying new things. Just turned fifty a few months ago but still feel like a boy inside. I love to travel, but with family, work and concerns for the environment, I have been travelling less and less over the years...but a book can take you anywhere and everywhere.

The Bell

by Iris Murdoch | Buy this book

I actually meant to pick up the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, but confused the purchase. I found the Bell absorbing and tense. Challenging relationships where there are various levels of abusive power dynamics. Mental health, religious orthodoxy and sex combine to make it heady and disturbing reading.

Joe (Kings Langley)

I like reading all sorts. Often stick to the classics unless I get a good recommendation. Some favourite contemporary authors would include, Marlon James, Johnathan Franzen and Barbara Kingsolver...it would be nice to find some local people to chat about them over a beer, wine or cup of tea...

The Kamogawa Food Detectives

I just like their ability to give back to the elderly a warm, nostalgic feeling through taste.
