Ramis

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

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!

Hi, I’m Fio! I’m 21 and love all things horror, thriller, mystery and yes a little romantasy too. I read non-fiction now and then, mostly psychology or self help but i’m open to anything, so please do send recommendations! I also love true crime and I’m a big movie-buff. So if you like debating theories, chatting about true crime and mysteries or just want someone to share some books and movies with, lets chat! (Leeds and Bournemouth based but happy to have online book chatting!)
