Rikki Anderson

Seeking a book club

I tend to read books that explore psychology, philosophy, and what it means to be human. I’m interested in stories that make you think about meaning, resilience, and how people make sense of difficult experiences. I enjoy discussing ideas and different perspectives, and I’m hoping to meet people who like deeper conversations about books rather than just quick reviews.

Rikki Anderson recommends:

The Humans

by Matt Haig | Learn more and buy

A unique and often funny perspective on what it means to be human, told through the eyes of an outsider trying to understand our emotions, relationships, and contradictions. It mixes philosophy, humour, and vulnerability in a way that makes you appreciate the small things in life.

The Catcher in the Rye

by J. D. Salinger | Learn more and buy

A very honest look at alienation, identity, and the struggle to find your place in the world. Holden feels real rather than polished, and the book captures that uncomfortable space between adolescence and adulthood in a psychologically believable way.

Beatrice and Virgil

by Yann Martel | Learn more and buy

A strange but powerful exploration of how we try to understand trauma and suffering through art and storytelling. It’s symbolic, unsettling at times, and raises questions about how history and cruelty can be represented without losing their meaning.

justabadger

Seeking a book club

Just a badger. Reads books. Lifts weights. Overthinks existence. Probably drinking coffee while highlighting passages I’ll pretend I fully understood. I like philosophy, classic literature, psychology and anything slightly weird or thought-provoking. Joining to find interesting people, expand my reading list, and have actual conversations about books instead of just rating them out of 5.

Seeking a gaming group

I’ve played D&D online with friends, so I’m not completely new but still learning. I enjoy the roleplay side of the game and like experimenting with voices for my characters. Looking for a relaxed in-person group that enjoys storytelling, roleplay, and having a good time at the table.

Mark

I'm an avid reader in my 40s, looking to meet up with local people and chat about what we're reading. I love sci-fi, fantasy and horror most, but jump around genres a lot; this year I'm trying to catch up on classics I've missed.
