Jason or Percy ?
( I'm talking about HOO btw)
percy.
Im on the first book of HOO so any reasons why?
because percy is percy, (ifykyk), jason has sortofa superiority complex, he isnt very thoughtful, he isquite a depressed character, you RARELY see him happy about anything, he doesn't give much thought to how his presence is affecting other people and how his close friends feel about him, and well, percy jackson is percy jackson
(im not saying id like jason, hes an amazing character, im just saying why i prefer percy)
Also leo Valdez seems like a good character so far
I can see the superiority complex kinda
mhm
live laugh love leo
π
leo on top
realeo.
As you should π
π π
no.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the matter, please, and anything that contradicts what I've said.
well in TOA he was really expressive and he spoiler for TOA ; ||sacrificed himself for his friends ||and plus percy is overrated
fair
real
okay so, he was expressive in TOA, but what aboutt??? i will agree thta i really liked his passion towards that project he started, and as for ||the sacrificing part, i loved him by that point, i absolutely bawled when he passed, genuinely was pained by that, even tho most readers/critics view that as a desperate measure taken to shoot book interest rates||, as for percy being overrated, i don't think thas true, his character is annoyingly likeable, hes witty, caring, literally too loyal, and gives importance to the small things that matter
once again, like i said, i don't dislike jason, hes an amazing character, but in comparative analysis, id go for percy
i agree but i feel like uncle rick forces percy to be in EVERY single book so he is kinda overrated
i think uncle rick forces percy to be in every single book because EVERY one loves him
π
yeah like ||even in Magnus Chase???||
Cant find percy in ||the lost hero|| but like ||they were searching for percy most of it||
ye that was sad.
YO another book
Another happy person
I didnt expect the book to be thick
I thought it was okay size
I wanna read it
literally just saw that on tiktok just now
yeah
did you spoil somethingggg
Noooo π₯°
π

I mean idk tbh but || Bel breaking into the room and then destroying everything and not asking Ash is crazy ||
||yea i get that it was smt v sensitive, but i mean woah girl, hold ur horses, im not a huge fan of open ended love stories, but i was fulfilled lmao||
|| SAME bro I thought Bel and Ash had something on but Bel is crazy ||
||ahahha, holly likes her girls badass with a touch of genuine insanity||

||the whole drama, secrets, the GRANDPA BEING EVIL ||
Wdym
Oh
yusss
|| CRAZYY never thought the grandpa be doing that ||
|| The drama was insane can't believe what I just read ||
|| And the secrets were crazy as well man I always suspected the dad||
||Dudee,ikrr? that msg in the books, and then the camera traill||
||tbh i instinctively DIDNT want it to be the dad π kinda sad he was a psycho||
|| Yess frr insane||
|| Bro I thought at the beginning that it couldn't be the dad bcuz of his alibi ||
|| But when Rachel mentioned that the dad was seeing some1 else after she disappeared I started to suspect ||
||nah the way he reacted and they made it SO CLEAR that he had an alibi? i somehow just knew the alibi was fishyy||
||OMG HOW GROSS WAS THAT TACO BELL THIING?? BEL WAS LEGIT IN THE CAR π π€’ ||
|| I mean he was jailed for 7 mentions ||
truee
|| IKRRR I WAS LEGIT GONNA PUKE IF THAT WAS ME I WOULDVE ATLEAST BROUGHT BEL HOME THEN DO THE FUCK I WANTED||
|| What he did made me know i can't trust the dad in any books from Holly Jackson ||
||IT WAS SUCH A DISGUSTING THING!!! THAT PIG!! OHMG THE WAY HE MADE THE POOR GIRL BELIEVE HE WAS GONE FOR 15MINUTESS??? UGHHH||
π ||FIRST ELLIOT, THEN THE DRUNK DAD IN 5SURVIVE, THEN THIS CHARLIE||
|| YEA AND THE BREAKING THE STUFF LEAVING THE LIGHTS OPEN WHAT A MANIPULATIVE PHYSCO||
||GAHHH, THE SANTA MUG THING!! i was so heartbroken for bel as she learnt the truth, i felt so badd||

Any descriptive books recs? π
Wdym descriptive
The one which has descriptive lang
And may help me in igcse descriptive writing
Ahh icwym
The thing is you can't classify books like that, the thing that reading books might really help u with is sentence structures and vocabulary
Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
That might get a bit boring quite instantly, so maybe not a good idea
Maybe try the Hades x Persephone saga series
Idk man just search some up lol
Could read some complicated book, not necessarily study related
Ty @crimson musk and @cunning sundial for your opinions! I'll make sure to look into what you suggested!

i dont know why but because my friend forced me i tried to read -" i fell in love with hope" and i really couldn't stand it. In every sentence she tried to include a metaphor, and it was just a waste of words. the reader does not need to be spoonfed emotions, and they didn't feel deep or anything. She tried to make every sentence a tumblr quote or instagram quote or something, and i guess it worked because the book went viral.
i think she could have cut on the descriptions a little and edited it more ;-;
so - should i still finish reading it?
Omg I feel the same way frfr like some of the metaphors were actually good. However she literally overdid it which took away from the meaning.I read the whole book in a time span of 3 months on and off, tbh that's how wierd and perspectiveless the writing was. The plot was pretty okish; I feel like you'll figure out the ending pretty easily if not for the superfluously complex sentences.
I would still reccomend to read the entire book but if you feel like it's not worth your time feel free to drop it
i left reading for a while
I want to get back to it
any suggestions for these kinda situations
and good books that leave me wanting to read the bok
Gender?
I mean yours not the book's

Hwβs life for the oct/nov igcse exam ppl
Just wanted to share all the resource/material for theory one would require to get started into Cybersecurity. Its in the thread below
About 4000 pages of theory.
||Disclaimer: this is Mostly for the section regarding networking and networking fundamentals that are related to Hacking and Exploiting. Computer Networking is a separate field of CS entirely but it is very closely related to cyber security. Which is why you have to learn the behind the scenes first before you begin solving issues or exploiting them. This is not ALL the stuff you will need to learn however, the remaining stuff is directly hacking or practicing it or actively preventing it. real cybersecurity you can call it. EDIT: So yes this might not be all it, but its required/necessary for one to get started. There are honestly so many ways you can expand from here. I'll drop a few crumbs for you to follow in one of these paths. Try looking up for CTFs.||

"how to be better" by david carlbatten
it was amazing
There's no author according to Google bre, and the book doesn't even pop up on the browser
Okay so uhh I need some input for this project I'm working on. (It's multi-media but this is the novel part so I think this is the correct channel to ask?)
The main character to this story is kinda like a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none type, yk?
And there's this scene where they go the city of heroes and they meet all the other heroes and the other heroes are kinda like "So... what's your talent?" and the MC is kinda like "I... Don't have one" and anyway they have to deal with the very human fear that they might just not be good at anything
So uhh I need data on how y'all would deal with that fear because at the end of the story it's revealed that this character is the hero of humanity (Not much of a grand reveal cause that's also the title but yk)
I've always seen this project as like. A collaboration between emotions feelings and stuff and I'm asking a bunch of people the same thing
hiii
thought ud have better input for this since u like to write
i j cry
Ohh okay
Ill try to help
I was gonna write a few examples
But then realized I was just yapping
But its honeslty depends on you character's personality,mental state or/and the backstory.
Are they the type to bury their emotion and slip under. Amask of indifference?
Are they the type to lose their cool easily and snap at eveyone? Even the ones who try to help?
Are they the type to find solutions to their problems even if the solutions could be fatal?
Or are they the type who talk about how they feel with people they trust and create a support system?
Under stressful situations, do they overwork themselves until they crash and burn?
You have to look at their personality. That would help you figure out how they would handle situations.
But in most scenes like, the character almost always ends up depressed and insecure whether it builds up or
It happens immediately.
First they would be in denial until the signs become to hard to ignore. How the character reacts after depends on you.
I hope this helps
I am an amateur writer myself so there's not much I can help with
But if you find this helpful and need more advice
Hmu
See, this character's personality is kinda supposed to be a sum of humanity
And so my main approach with this one is to just ask people how they deal with some of the feelings the character goes through and try to encorporate that into my story
Well, I'll definately keep note of that!! Writing pals !! <33
Hmm i see
In my casemy character would go through
Denial and avoidance (huding behind a mask of indifference whil feelings like resentment and jealousy begin to eat at them) They would try to convince themselves they are perfectly fine without powers but as time goes on the facade gets harder and harder to maintain
Realization. The mc no matter how much they try to deny would eventually come to the realization they are more vulnerable than they refused to let themself believe . This realization might become known after a certain event where the mc wpuld be in position where they aren't strong enough to stop or assist in.
Isolation and Depression. After the realization, the mc might try to keep yp the facade but self doubt and anxiety might cause them to spiral down into a depression. Others might try to help them after witnessing them slowly descend but the mc wpuld unknowingly begin to pull away from everyone, hiding behind their shell. During this slwo descent into isolation and depression, emotions like anger and envy become harde rto hide and control. Depending on you the.mc could also tr yto find ways to become stronger whether physically or magically. My character would choose the physical route.
Acceptance. After a certain event or certain conversations with another character, the mc wpuld slowly come to term with being powerless. The would slowly stip seeing it as curse ajd hinderence and begin rebuilding their relationships.
They would stop overworking themselves and put they know skill to good use.
Now depending on the type of storyline, the may be different events that coukd occur to bring the character to this stage. Whether someone gets hurt by them or someone beats the realization out of them.
Anyway this is how I would deal with my characters emotions
From Denial and fake happiness and indifference to depression and uncontrollable rage and envy to finding peace and actual joy or more depression
Depends on the plot
Hello
I need a recommendation for a book that is related to psychology (how to make friends and develop your social skills). Moreover, make sure that It doesn't have a lot of complex words as I am a English second language speaker
Sorry for writing a lot
Enjoy your day
Hmmm.. heres some of my recommendations I guess...
Note: The links take you to the respective Goodreads page
Books Ive read:
- Psych101, A pretty good book with basics although some words may be a bit difficult
- Surrounded by Idiots, there are a few other similar titles by the same author and all are about dealing with different types of people, it wasnt a bad book and I kinda enjoyed it (although Ive read an Arabic translation)
- Atomic Habits, this was a really good read in my opinon - more of a self-help too but Goodreads put this with psychology books
Other books:
- The 48 Laws of Power, Ive heard this was a pretty good book on social skills - more of a self-help book I would say
- How to win friends and Influence people, I believe this is what you would be looking for.. and I found this an interesting title (Ive seen it several times in a bookstore)
- Psychology: A complete introduction, I have books from the same series but I havent read this one; the other books Ive read were intuitively easy to follow (although Im unsure about the complexity of words) with end-of-chapter questions too
Edit: Sorry for messing up the links :P
No worries
Thank you
Guys, I was so confident in my English until I picked up Crime and Punishment (translated by Constance Garnett), and now Iβm feeling very humble. Maybe it's just that particular translation, but I keep having to read the same paragraph twice to understand itβ¦ or is that just me?
(and yes, I was forced to buy it cuz of a friend)
Don't feel too bad. I've read a some stuff by Dostoe. His work is bit more archaic than most people are used to, so it's expected to struggle
O
Alright, thank you for the reassuring thought.
u should try reading Jane Austen's classics
np!! I had to work my way up to white nights lol
ohhh it's a heavy book in general. Try start up with shorter books then build up to crime and punishment
also you can take your time reading through it with breaks!
LMAO
dw i feel u
its still good though
Tysm for the encouraging words! Iβve actually restarted from chapter 1 again (I finished another book series first to boost my self-confidence), and Iβm implementing all the advice everyone gave.
YAY!! great to hear ^_^

Has anyone here read House of Leaves
incredible book, imo.
just a bit bizarre and even tedious at points
Currently reading The order of time. by Carlo Rovelli. It delves into the meanings of time and even dabbles into death and a perceived view of it.
i want read fortnite book
Goodluck finding that
read 'Demian' by Herman Hesse. it changed my life.
Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
Really makes u think about life
And ur goals
Really motivating
I wanna read sth like 'the subtle art of not giving a fuck'
Any similar books to that?
It's an actual book, I did not curse intentionally ;-;
Some people don't believe me sis ;-;
Mark Manson
Yesh
Googled it
I figured : )
Is it good?
Not into that
That's alright
U know any other books?
I don't remember
Like that's the recent book I read
I used to read A LOT before
Now I just can't make out enough time
It took me almost a decade to finish that ;-;
The nose, hmm . . .
it's funny
Okay
but i hear its the funniest book ever written
also read "War and Peace" by leo tolstoy
oh and @formal pelican read Three Men In A Boat by JKJerome
Sure
gen.lib.rus.ec one of the best places to find books
oh
@formal pelican
read The Canon of Sherlock Holmes
Yups
it has all the adventures
good stuff
Yups
thats not where i got the canon from
but i think that link has all the adventures
Now Archived. A collection of free ebook editions of significant works from the past.
that link also has a good number of books
oooooh
@nimble stag i've been meaning to! is it good?
ITS AMAZING IM NOT A FANTASY FICTION GUY BUT LEIGH BARDUGO KNOWS HOW TO WRITE WRITE i finished the book and cudnt wait to start the second part and when i got done was still obsesseddd and still amm
hahahha isnt a TV show coming out as well?
ooh im hyped for the show!! but then i wanna read the books too but i dont have time :(
go for audiobooks!
dude Leigh gets compared to Sarah J Maas and honestly ew Maas writes trash
@nimble stag oof i dont like audiobooks ;-;
OKAY WHATS UR FAVORITE BOOK IM REALLY LOOKIN FOR SUMM TO READ RN
whyyy aish theyre so much better
i listen to them in 2x the speed
u can finish the book so much faster
and it gets more lively in 2x
plus plus when sed parts come u can cry and keep listening which making ur emotions even stronger
she wrote the series a court of thorns and roses and the throne of glass series and honestly used to stan them but they're horrible tbh
audiobooks require active listening and i dont like to do that
i prefer pages/e-books cause reading the words is honestly much much better than like listening to them
ooh you want book recs? well i've just finished rereading The Color Purple by Alice Walker! @nimble stag honestly one of my fave 2018 reads!
you gotta check it out!
damn how do u commit to so many series like that
yes which is why i only listen to them before bed every night
until i feel like sleeping
if the book is really really good i end up staying all night
fun fact about that book: it was actually banned from libraries lmao
oh cool i will check it rn
do u have any um idk feel good suggestions?
like the perks of being a wallflower
same! @nimble stag hahahah and i end up getting eyebags ugh
ooh you want some whirlwind romances?
honestly not a fan of romance
im just getting into book @fresh mural so erm idk much about all these genre i just mean a book like tpobawf like just euphoric and happy vibes all around
and the love interest between the two only makes it better
but mainly im chasing things like that tunnel scene, where he feels infinite
they are just so comforting
but like The Sun is Also A Star is an exception. it was beautifully written, and even though i dont believe in 'love at first sight' and 'whirlwind romances' but it has some cute moments
omigosh yes!
that tunnel moment
omg yess ty for reminding me it has been on my list, seeing as the movie is coming out soon too?
do u recommend reading before watching or the other way around
yes oml im so excited for the movieee
yes it was so beautiful ;-;
reading fosure
same here because movies tend to disappoint
read it first cause that's a whole nother experience and usually better than the movie
@nimble stag have you read Aristotle and Dante Discover the secrets of the universe?
it's by Benjamin Alire Saenz
omg is it related to philosophy? i love philosophy
i havent im a book virgin ive read a handful books so far
i got interested in them just last month
there are no 'sad scenes' per se, but there were some heart touching scenes and i may or may not have cried like an idiot
and ive been missing out on so much i-
it's ok!! i havent had time to read a lot of books too! :( school takes up a lot of my time
nope it's not really philosophy. it's about two boys and their love story. what i really loved about the book was that the author didn't make them your 'token gay character'. you know how some authors just add LGBTQ+ characters just to gain 'woke points'? and then end up forgetting to give them a personality? yeah this author doesn't. he gives both of the boys a beautiful personality that is also flawed. so they feel real, you get me?
and it's their love story and their journey of discovering their sexuality and then realising their feelings
i think that was my fave read of 2018
@nimble stag have you read the subtle art of not giving a f*ck?
yess i remember reading more happy than not and it was exactly what u mentioned.
i wish u a great summer of reading then! after ur exams finish i mean
More Happy than Not?
right now i like the sun is also a star the best so i will probably start that tonigjt

@golden vault the one by Spencer Johnson?
YYYAAAAAAS
@golden vault is it good? it's been lying on my TBR for a g e s
and im tryna weed out books that aren't good so i dont waste my time
yes i wanted to try a new genre of book this year and i was interested in motivational books
how so?
you'll know it when u read it
it has a nice nice chunk of motivational texts
after a whole scenario
i shall add it to my ever growing pile of summer books smh
wait but is it just like flowery positivity or like actually helpful
it had quite the impact
hmmmm
i think mystery
ive also readt
robinson cruiseo
if thats his name
a couple of times
it was good
you mean robinson crusoe?
i actually havent read it lmao
@golden vault you like mystery? well give the murder on the orient express a read!
the movie was actually good but the book wow it blew my mind
it is! you want a brief overview?
ah ok
well it's about a murder on a train (obviously) and it's this one detective that tries to solve the mystery. problem is, it seems to be a perfect murder. no evidence is left behind.
but it's fascinating!
ooh i've seen the movie of that one
@lunar island ooh did you like it?
oh man i loved it
same! were you able to figure out the murderer?
ya think?
before they revealed it?
π
lmao i did that's why hehe
oof
well i mean i theorised a little bit
but i wouldn't call it a successful deduction
yeah it was a perfectly executed murder but when you put together the pieces of everyone's story, you could figure it out heh
Which book
yeah i just had a strong hunch tbh but then like as the movie progressed, i was like, yeah, fosure this is the murder
@golden vault the murder on the orient express
murder on the orange express
