Nick
Seeking a book club
I really enjoy reading the classics, especially the great Russian authors. It would be interesting to discuss the big questions these books pose. Another persons perspective would add further layers to the work. I am semi-retired and have now got the time to deep dive into great works of literature. I live in Southampton.

Hi! I am 27 & have just moved to the Southampton area and am looking for like-minded people who love a good book! I love fiction and will read almost any subgenre - fantasy, historical, sci-fi you name it! Ultimately I just love a book that will move me - the best books make me laugh, cry & all the emotions in between. Would love to meet new friends who also share my passion for reading.

I'm looking to join an in person dnd group. I've played a couple of campaigns, though my knowledge is limited, my enthusiasm is not.

The idea: a small, easygoing group meeting once a month in a cosy café around Southampton (open to New Forest spots too, depending who's keen) to talk about the kind of books that actually earn their length — Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, John Williams' Stoner, Jack London's Martin Eden. Big questions, flawed characters, sentences worth re-reading. Doesn't have to stay strictly Russian-and-American — anything in that same vein is fair game. No pressure if you haven't finished the book. No one-upmanship. Just good coffee, better conversation, and people who actually want to talk about what they're reading rather than just being seen to read it. If that sounds like your kind of Saturday morning (or Tuesday evening — happy to find what works for the group), get in touch. Even just tell me the last book that properly wrecked you — that's usually the best icebreaker.

I’ve(31F) been playing DnD with my partner and some friends on a fortnightly basis for last 6 months and I have been really enjoying it and I would love to find a group I could play with on weekly basis, only issue weekly I can only do a Tuesday. Failing that we might be looking to have someone join our fortnightly one as there is currently 4 of us (including DM)

Hey, I’m 21. I’m quite a nerdy woman I’d say, I love Pokemon and meeting new people. I’ve found that finding new friends has been difficult so I hope this helps. I’m also interested in playing DND, I’ve never played but I am a quick learner and have a keen interest, I would also want to learn to play Warhammer.

I am a University History Graduate. I love history books, especially British and American. I am looking to join like-minded book people who love reading books. I like both non-fiction and fiction. I also really like movies that that develop from fiction and non-fiction books.
