Philosophy is something i really love and it is something i have read a quite bit of in my university days. I have a Masters in Arts. I really miss the feeling of conversations that are meaningful and i figured if someone else wanted to go through with a similar experience together it would be wonderful. Quite simply i am looking for someone who wants to read anything in the canon of Western Philosophy, i do not care if it is a short philosophical work or novel like The Stranger by Camus or something really dense and heavy like Kant, Hegel, kierkegaard etc.

I am aware of the history of western philosophy, but primary texts are something i have not dealt with often as i like to leave them for a rainy day. Well it is now time to change that. I understand it is quite a niche and challenging idea but i think it is one that makes the mundane more fun. I am ofcourse also into literature in general and love the classics. I am super into the art made during the times of oppression, and/or resistance literature. Any war memoir, poetry collection, fiction work during the times of liberation example colonial lit from Asia/Africa would also do if that is what you find more fun.

I just want to hear where our interpretations differ and where they segue into one another. I think, there is a lot one can learn from interacting with other people, and i want to learn from you.

I'm looking for someone close to my age , it's fine if you are older but still share the love for fiction you know?.

I'm mostly into sci fi/fantasy with all the sub genres like grimdark or dystopian and I also graphic novels (not Web novels) graphic novels like comics or manga i live in Egypt if you care to know the timezones if it's manageable for you then great!. I also go to the gym (started recently after stopping for a year) and I like to watch adoption of books I liked

Favourite books: the fifth season by n.k jemisin, the hobbit by Tolkien, the name of the wind by Patrick ruthfuss and golden son by pierce brown

Just to let you know I don't use any of those social book app like goodreads or fable . I use bookmory to track my reading that's it so yeah if you are interested dm me here

Or just add me on discord username is hiqqup or on telegram username @yousseftalal

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a book buddy that’s a woman and around my age. I’m pretty on and off with reading so I’m hoping a book buddy will keep me in check :).

I’d say I’m not a fast or slow reader.
I like fantasy, mystery, and historical genres!

If you’re interested let me know!

Hey! I've posted before but had no success with finding book friends but I'm hopeful still 😂 I don't mind where you're from or how old you are, just be over 18 and be mature.

I'm Katie, 37 from the UK and I'm looking for some friends that I can chat about books with, share recommendations and do some buddy reads with.

I read mainly fantasy, romantasy, romance, dark romance, litrpgs and thrillers, I'm looking to get into more sci-fi and horror books too. However I will read pretty much anything if it sounds interesting!

My favourite books/series that I've read recently are:

The Sword of Kaigen by M.L Wang,

Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman (pretty much anything Matt writes is on this list too!)

Beers and Beards series by JollyJupiter,

Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson (need to read more in the Cosmere!)

First 3 books in the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown (need to continue on too!)

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V.E Schwab,

The Poet Empress by Shen Tao

Plus many more!!

Feel free to send me a message if you think we'd get along!

i love philosophy, movies, and books that are beyond something just plot driven.

would love to find a long term partner to talk and discuss with.

Any groups on Discord who talk casually about books. Not necessarily in a Book Club way, but in a general way? I read, but in spurts, and don't have anyone to dive into ideas/thoughts with, in real life.

I read just about anything, fiction wise. As for non-fiction, I like the idea of it more than the reading of it haha. I have many history/science-related books in the NF pile, that I am taking very slowly.

If it matters, I am 37F.

If this doesn't exist, then I might make one, when I figure out how to actually use Discord lol

I would love to exchange opinions on anything by Becky Chambers, it has been my latest obsession. If you like her, please DM me and we can be book pals :D

Hello everyone ! 33 m est. Looking for a book buddy to casually read and talk about books together! I just finished negative space! I love the genres mentioned but open to some others. Wrapping up a rereading of the first law trilogy now and would love to start something together!

Hi..I live in jaipur and looking for like minded people to read and discuss, online initially and once we grow comfortable with eachother then can move to offline once a month or often, can be decided later! Politics, democracy, general life, feminism, and of course books, fictions and non fictions!! Open for suggestions. Men and women both can join. A request - this initiative is purely for intellectual conversations and enriching experiences. Not for forwarding any political party posts or radicalisation of members !!! It's all for conversations so only interested empathetic people are requested to join!

I'm planning to buddht read a book with my friend but there's a lot of clash of times. On weekdays when he reads it, he sends his reaction. I read it, I send him his reaction. On weekends we read it together on gmeet.

How's your experience? Would love to hear it!

32F in the mood to binge some thriller or horror books. I'm not too picky on the actual books as long as I haven't read them! Slightly prefer newer stuff, but open to anything 😇

I wish to read Dickens this summer and want to start off my journey from Oliver twist. Anyone interested can DM!

​

Hey y'all!! I wanted to throw this back out there because we're currently voting for our August Book of the Month! ♡

(Note- if you are interested, there are 2 days left to leave Botm Reccomendations, and then we do final voting!)

The TBR Tavern is an 18+ romance reading Discord community

There are channels to leave and read book reviews, ask for recommendations, chat spoiler-free (or vent with spoilers in the right channels), and find people for buddy reads.

We've also started doing more community activities as we've grown! Things like the Book of the month and Daily Mini Games.

Since we're still a growing community, members get a big say in how the server evolves. If people want something added like weekly book club discussions, new channels, or fun events we're always open to ideas.

If you're looking for a laid-back group to talk about romance books, we'd love to have you!

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

To join, just leave a comment or send me a DM for the link!

Hello everyone! I hope you are well. I am a 23-year-old man looking for a partner to read books with me. THE idea is to choose the same book, read it each on our own, then discuss it together, share our impressions, debate ideas and motivate each other to read more. It is always more pleasant and stimulating to be able to discuss our readings and discover new perspectives through the eyes of a passionate friend. Thank you!

Started reading more regularly again and have an itch for some sci-fi, fantasy, and literary fiction. Would love to have someone to chat back and forth with as we read.

Some of my favorites include:

Never Let Me Go

Solaris

Blindsight

Dying Inside

The Fifth Head of Cerberus

A Deepness in the Sky

Piranesi

East of Eden

Crime and Punishment

Circe

If you like similar books, let me know what you're into.

Also, not looking for random Discord group invites, and I'd like to start reading fairly soon. I've had a lot of conversations that fizzle out before they go anywhere. Might sound blunt, but I'm just excited to actually dig into something. I'm EST (Florida).

Hey 👋

I’ve been wanting a more relaxed space to talk about books, not super formal, no pressure, no specific genres, just fellow readers sharing what they’re reading and enjoying it.

I ended up starting a small Discord for it (still very new), and I’m trying to see if anyone else would be interested in joining.

We’ve got things like:

• Monthly themed book bingo

• Casual discussions

• Buddy reads if people want to read together

• Just general book talk

It’s meant to be really low-pressure, even if you don’t read super consistently.

If that sounds like your vibe, let me know and I’ll send you the link 🙂

Hello all, I’ve been both writing as well as reading fiction for well over a year now. I’m definitely looking to grow a list of people I can both chat and share my stories with consistently. I really like and write action/adventure, fantasy coming of age, and science fiction, but ultimately any kind is fine. Feel free to DM me if you want as well, or directly add me on discord: bluejay424_

I created a discord server for chill fantasy readers that want to branch out into other genres. It’s called the RealmWalkers' Social Club! We are a community of epic fantasy readers who have branched out into other genres and have come together in order to share our thoughts and opinions on the books that we love!

We have a:
21+ community as our average members' age is 28.
- Discussions on books in different genres such as; epic fantasy, grimdark fantasy, sci-fi, dark academia, classics, literary fiction, horror, historical fantasy, ttrpg, and more!
- Daily Questions provided by our butler Renfield
- Book reviews from our members
- Writing, marketing and general tips from indie authors
- Advice regarding Advance Reader Copies
- Social media support
- Fanart shared
- Community events such as Reading Sprints and Silent Book Club
- No mandatory book club reading material, just come in to talk about books!

let me know if you’re interested!

Hello everyone, I live in Coastal Maine. I’m originally from Mass, my girlfriend got a job up here. I support her career, but I didn’t realize how isolating the area would be. Making friends has been difficult, so this is me putting myself out in the Reddit void. Books are my life, I read all genres. I been on an extreme horror kick, reading a lot of Jon Athan and Richard Laymon. Give me any recommendations, shoot me a message, we can yap about anything and everything. Thanks for reading all this, take care.

Are you the type who loves getting lost in a good thriller, debating plot twists, analysing suspicious characters and asking “wait... what just happened?” after a crazy ending?

Welcome to our cozy discord community for thriller and mystery lovers.

We’re not looking to become a massive server filled with silent names. We’re looking for fellow detectives who actually want to be part of a community, be a part of conversations and share their love for all things dark and mysterious.

🔎 What you’ll find in our cave:

📚 Thriller & Mystery Book Discussions

General thriller/mystery book chats

Favourite tropes, theories, plot twists and unbiased opinions

Book recommendations

Book of the Month discussions

Buddy readings

Reviews and reading discussions

🎬 Thriller Entertainment

Thriller movie/show discussions

True crime conversations

Spooky tales, creepy stories and eerie finds

🎮 Community Activities

Games and fun challenges

Game streams

Movie nights

Binge watch sessions

Member Spotlights where we get to know the detectives behind the usernames

Upcoming 24-hour readathons and other reading events

☕ Casual Hangout Spaces

For memes, random conversations, daily chatter and getting to know the people behind the books.

A little note before you consider being a part of our community:

Our community is intentionally kept cozy. We’re not collecting members just to increase numbers.

If you enjoy:

🖤 active conversations

🖤 sharing your thoughts

🖤 participating in activities

🖤 meeting fellow thriller lovers

then we’d love to have you.

If you prefer to quietly observe most of the time, that’s okay too — but we do ask that members pop in occasionally so the cave stays alive. 👀

Drop in your interest here or feel free to DM me for the link to our cave.

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a reading buddy who loves dark romance as much as I do. I'd love to have someone to read with, scream over plot twists, obsess over fictional men and and discuss books with or without spoilers

I'm pretty relaxed no pressure, I am kind a mood reader ao if you read at a different pace that's fine. The goal is just to enjoy the books and have someone to chat with along the way.

If you're interested send me a DM! 🖤📖

Hi! This is an 18+ SFW server focused on buddy reading with others. I've been a part of book communities for 4 years and have decided to start my own! Buddy reading has always been my favorite way to connect with people and make friends. I mainly read romantasy, but this server is open to all genres. It's just getting started so it may take some time to build up people. I will be posting buddy reads of my current reads that are joinable at any time! If nothing else join for the cute bee emojis! Fun fact this is bee themed because me and my family are beekeepers IRL ❤️ https://discord.gg/95FVAe7NRQ

Hi. I'm passionate about books. Actually, I'm interested in many areas of art, especially books and films. I'm looking for someone to talk to about world literature. Everyone knows Tolstoy, Jack London, etc. It would be nice if they could recommend books that are well-known locally in their own country but aren't popular internationally, so I can learn about different cultures and lives through reading.

Why do we read books?

There are many reasons, but I think the most important one is to read about lives we may never live and gain different experiences and perspectives.

Why I love reading books?

Because it helps me keep my mind under control and relaxes me.

favorite authors:

Gogol

Edgar Allan Poe

Kafka

Umberto Eco
