[stray hornet]

Hi guys, can anyone suggest me some CS books with a lot of examples and exercises in order to practice it by my own ?

[mighty gate]

rich dad poor dad

[dark siren]

Thx

[mighty gate]

also think and grow rich

the almanack of naval ravikant

[glass crag]

+1 this is book is soo good not as convoluted as other business (not really a business book more like a personal blogs in the form of a book) book

[worthy swan]

can someone suggest a great fantasy novel/book/series

[kind jewel]

Six of crows is an amazing fantasy duology

[worthy swan]

Whats it about ?

[mighty gate]

yep and it feels as if naval is talking to u

[kind jewel]

It’s a high fantasy genre. About this group of six teenagers who come together to pull off this dangerous heist. All the characters are like misfits / outcasts / criminals. The world building and characters are amazing

[worthy swan]

hey i saw that we have to read shadow and bone before that . Is that necessary

[kind jewel]

No no you don’t. Six of crows is way better than shadow and bone and its stand alone so no you dont have to read it beforehand

[worthy swan]

i mean thy say there are some cameos

from shadow and bone

[worthy swan]

so basically there are 2 books six of crows and whats the name of the other one

[kind jewel]

Second one is crooked kingdom

If you want to you can read shadow and bone but its not necessary

[worthy swan]

cool

Also does anyone know how is collectors edition different

[mighty gate]

i think it's just the cover

prettier and maybe hard cover

[worthy swan]

Ohhh

[mighty gate]

but if u have the money and u're a collecter then just go for it

[frozen crypt]

I remember reading Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" at around 15, and it's had a tremendous trickle down effect. To add on "What every BODY is saying" by Joe Navarro is also highly recommended.

[dark siren]

Thanks

[gleaming juniper]

everyone i just finished education of the will-jules payot. i do recommend this book so hard. it has improved my willpower already. this book had written for college and high school students. read it, you wont regret 🙂

[loud basalt]

Thank you! I might try it 🙂

[gleaming juniper]

Ok, I'll try it.

[cold cipher]

is there any book that talks about possibility of infinity logically and the sequence of reasons ?

[zinc crescent]

Infinity and the Mind by Rudy Rucker

[fickle bluff]

what do you usually read at night before bed?

[dark siren]

Non fiction or random Russian authors

[plush parrot]

Atomic Habits is one of the best books ever !

[frozen crypt]

Prousts In search of lost time

[stiff totem]

How To Become A Straight A Student by Cal Newport.

I'm pretty sure this has been recommended by James himself, I just finished the audiobook version of it and It's great! Most interesting to me was the fact that It offers a really good time management system which I'll put into use. Although I had hoped there would be more info on technical courses.

[loud patio]

Not a book but I wanted to add to the above comment, Cal Newport also has a YouTube channel and it's a great resource for motivation, mental wellness, career related, etc

[fickle bluff]

thank you guys for your suggestions :)
have y'all a nice day

[runic orchid]

try tuesdays with morrie

[dark spoke]

confession

[rocky sparrow]

1Q84 series is sooo good

[violet slate]

That’s an emotional one

[runic orchid]

actually im haifway through and tho i know its emotional i feel at ease somehow while reading it

[undone coral]

best horror books pls

[quick thunder]

Currently, I'm reading Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom. It's about an old professor named Morrie, who has a terminal illness and his student. Every Tuesday, Morrie and his students talks about life and death. It's a good read especially before bed and makes you wonder what else can you give back to this world.

[burnt arrow]

The Midnight Library is also a good novel

[sour iron]

I need some books in turkish to obtain better and bigger vocabulary. Any recommendations?

[gleaming juniper]

The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas - Machado de Assis

[gleaming juniper]

Anyone want these book pfd?
-Deep work
-Can't hurt me
-Atomic habits

[tawdry shoal]

Yes please, I want can't hurt

[scarlet hawk]

is 48 law of power a good book?

[frozen crypt]

Depends on where you are in life and what you are looking for

[dark siren]

It's a really negative book tbh

[dark siren]

Yes pls

[gleaming juniper]

💀

[fickle nimbus]

yes man please.. cant wait

[meager zealot]

its good, if you want to manipulate people. in my opinion it is a pretty useful skill as long as you do it ethically

[forest dove]

e

[tight sequoia]

Looking for some self help books or anything really. Would like if someone could send the pdf too.

[frozen crypt]

In which areas?

[terse wraith]

need some self-help books about discipline and deep practices

books like "deep work" would be nice

[dreamy patrol]

atomic habits

did not read it but i have heard its a good book

for discipline

or just read cant hurt me

[terse wraith]

i already read both of the books

im trying to find a book which lean more to something like 'deep work'

[violet slate]

Try ‘flow’ by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

[tight sequoia]

Does anyone have Dante's Inferno pdf? I'm also looking for random book pdfs to read because I'm bored

[short stratus]

[terse wraith]

will do, thanks!

[tight sequoia]

Thank you!

[void vector]

Is only english books?

[frozen crypt]

I'd advice to be very consicous about which translation you're reading. The divine comedy is troublesome to translate, which has lead to there being vastly different works out there. There's a few youtube videos and blogposts if you want to look it up, it can dictate whatever you enjoy it or not

[clear crown]

any recomendations for self improvement books besides ; atomic habits, the 7 habits of highly effective people.

[violet slate]

The courage to be disliked
How to win friends and influence people (very useful book)
Eat that frog
The compound effect
Meditations

[meager zealot]

rich dad poor dad, cuz ig it improves your finances

[mighty gate]

Can't Hurt me
The Almanack of naval ravikant
Deep work
Ego is the enemy

[woven lion]

Haruki is a badass

[last bane]

i recommend Battle Royale by Koushun Takami if yall want an insane horror thriller

[rocky sparrow]

I know right?? So good

[clear dove]

I recommend Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

[kind jewel]

is there anyone who actually didn’t like reading Murakami?

[gleaming juniper]

I didn’t like it in the beginning

It gave me a fake vibe, o forced Atmosphere and details, like the narrator was trying to be someone who is not

And it was quite repetitive and made me loose the trust in the narrator

But at a certain point, the fake mundane that was presented had started to become more and more appealing. Also, some of the descriptions were quite attracting, especially the way he described the women.

[kind jewel]

which book of his?

[gleaming juniper]

South of the border, west of the sun

And in Norwegian wood

[kind jewel]

ohh I’ve only read Kafka on the shore by him and really hated it

[gleaming juniper]

I highly recommend south of the border, west of the sun

There is a movie based on a short story, it is called Drive my car

[gleaming juniper]

May I ask why?

[iron helm]

need good non-fiction/self-help book recs that’s NEW/2023 released

[kind jewel]

I hated the incest parts of the book. Most people just seem to brush over it or act like it isn’t a big deal but i really didn’t like it. And then after halfway through, i felt the events didn’t make sense and were all over the place, the story turned boring and the ending was ridiculous. The author tried to make the book all deep and philosophical with hidden meanings and metaphors everywhere but I didn’t buy it. This is all my opinion of course

[kind jewel]

Never reading another of his books again lol 🥲

[gleaming juniper]

Hey
Any recommendations for books to improve art and drawing skills
I think books might bring some extra value that isn't on YouTube tutorials

[iron helm]

what art style u want recommendations for? realistic or anime style etc?

[gleaming juniper]

The way he describes women is attracting ??💀

[gleaming juniper]

Realistic will be better
It'll allow to stylize your art better

[gleaming juniper]

only some parts, others are quite meh or annoying

[ancient shale]

I finished this book today, Badoga.

sick book

fuarking awesome

[woeful plume]

Me
Started reading 1Q84 and left it unread
I didn't like the way he describes women and I feel some sexual stuff he writes doesn't add to the plot
But that's just my opinion and how I felt

[frozen crypt]

A childhood favorite. One of the books that got me reading more ficition. Highly recommended. Thanks for reminding me of it btw, I ought to read it soon again

Have you read more of Paulo Coelho?

[upbeat sedge]

Any self help books?

[frozen crypt]

Self help is 95% of this channel, just scroll up a bit or search using the search bar and you'll find endless amounts of the same 6 or so books

[dark siren]

Read "The pilgrimage" by Paulo Coehlo it's a good book

[raw kraken]

The Body Keeps the score By Bessel Van Der Kolk.

It's about the brain, mind, and body in the healing of trauma

[near harbor]

OOOH THAT ONE

it is so good

literally

[mighty gate]

Totally agree

[prisma estuary]

Almond by Sohn Won-Pyung. I'm listening to the audiobook version on Hoopla, it's pretty good.

[candid basin]

thoughts about The Gambler by Dostoevsky?

[quasi anchor]

anyone here know a great book that talks abt clinical psychology

[cosmic spear]

I know a great book about the history of oncology, with a clinical focus...but not psychology

[frozen crypt]

Haven't read it yet. If you are, please give a quick review of it👍

[frozen crypt]

Do you mean non-fiction like "Thinking, fast and slow" by Kahneman, Daniel or course literature?

[violet slate]

Any reviews on "the housekeeper and the professor" ?

[rotund badger]

Hi, can someone help? I want to read a book similar to millennium ( the girl with dragon tattoo) by Stieg Larson

[quasi anchor]

non-fiction ones

[ocean spire]

the sexual stuff is the plot 😼

[modest coral]

Dude thanks, I found some books I was actually planning to buy and scan lol

[open holly]

hey i am suneh and i am totally neew to reading i started off with "Can't Hurt Me-David Goggins" and i have read 2 cal newport books so far (How to become a straight A student and deep work) what should I read next?

[green lion]

Berserk

[frozen crypt]

What are you interested in? Self help, fiction, the classics?

[rancid karma]

hello guys i kind of need your help. so.. heres the thing its for a christmas exhange gift. do you think you can recommend a book i should buy my teacher? i kind of picked hhim his a political science teacher who teaches about politics his wishlist is any book you recommend hiwever i haven't read lots of book to be able to rrecommend a good one hahaha ohh and can it not be romance please? thank youu guys for your helpp its a bigg assistance to me

[frozen crypt]

Were you thinking fiction or non-fiction? My first advice would not to buy something that is directly in his field, as he's probably either read or heard of it. If you were thinking non-fiction maybe something auxiliary to political science, such as anthropology, history of a certain period relevant etc.
If, instead, you were thinking fiction, do you know any of his favourite fiction books?

[bright wing]

new international version of the holy bible

[dark siren]

Politics by aristotle is a good book

[rancid karma]

ohh tthank youu everyoneee

[rancid karma]

i dont know actually we are not close but i know he read tuesdays with morrie i saw it on his page once not sure if its fiction or nonfiction though

[rancid karma]

hahahahhaa he specifically said no bible please hahahahaha sorry was not able to replyy i didn't notice it at first

[gleaming juniper]

You should give him crime and punishment by foydor dostoeyvesky

[gleaming juniper]

Which book should i read first I'm confused i have 5 options, the book thief, crime and punishment, a little life, to kill a mockingbird, the count of Monte Cristo

[dark siren]

To kill a mockingbird is a great classic

[kind jewel]

don’t read a little life

[limpid kayak]

Do you people know any author who has similar feel to Haruki Murakami

[gleaming juniper]

Why

[kind jewel]

people I know who’ve read it have said it’s terrible and not worth reading

[gleaming juniper]

Okay I'll not I'm reading Kafka on the shore by murakmai

[gleaming juniper]

The Book Thief could be a great start tbh

[rancid karma]

thank youu

[rancid karma]

my first book was to kill a mockingbird, would be a great start

[gleaming juniper]

Okay thanks I'll start with that

[kind jewel]

the book thief is a great book

[frozen crypt]

You could try "When languages die - Harrison, David K.".
It's maybe a bit more niche, but its definitely something that could be a massive hit with a poli-sci teacher.

[frozen crypt]

Tbf its one of the most read/well-known books in the world. A middle-aged (i'm assuming) teacher would most likely either have read it if they wanted to, or not because they didn't want to

[frozen crypt]

Depends. Which one are you most excited about? Are you reading to enjoy or analyse? Are you new to reading, and not in the habit of finishing long books?

[gleaming juniper]

Reading to enjoy I'm new to classics

[astral hollow]

What are you reading guys?

[gleaming juniper]

Kafka on the shore by murakmai

[astral hollow]

Ha!!What ?

[gleaming juniper]

It's a novel

[astral hollow]

Pdf please

[frozen crypt]

You could always vibe check them. Sometimes one book will not speak to your current state of mind, at another point in time that very same book could be your favourite. Just start reading the first page, if you are curious, intrigued, or simply glued to the page. Then you know to keep going. If not, save it for another time and vibe check the next book

[gleaming juniper]

That's a really nice tip I'll do with every book and which one feels good I'll read it

[frozen crypt]

Just started reading 'Karolinerna efter Poltava' by Efron, Vera. Its about the contribution made by the Swedish POWs to Russia after the battle of Poltava in 1709. Also re-reading "Remembrance of Things Past" by Proust, Marcel. Speficifally Swann's World, the best reading before bed.

[frozen crypt]

Just use it wisely and not to fuel any possible procrastination 🤣

[gleaming juniper]

I know

[wintry python]

im currently reading "girl with the dragon tattoo" and I like it

[brisk cradle]

recommend me some books like
Mystery,detective type stuff

[gleaming juniper]

The Silent patient ,The girl on the Train

[dense rain]

anything horror and psychological with like plot twists?

[fickle forge]

rn im just reading all of lovecrafts stories

[dense rain]

do you have any specific book from lovecraft that you particularly enjoy/are enjoying?

[fickle forge]

call of cthulhu is a classic

at the mountains of madness is my favorite

i recommend buying his collection books with multiple stories

if you are into cosmic horror

[dense rain]

sounds great!

thanks a lot 👍 will be looking into all of that

[fickle forge]

let me know what you think whenever

[dense rain]

of course

The prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

[pine bay]

Hey everyone I’m curious as to know where to start between Camus, Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche. I’ve read a bit of crime and punishment and it’s quite a gruelling read in the beginning, I have also read the stranger years ago so I don’t remember much, any reccs and tips would be much appreciated

[frozen crypt]

If you read Camus, you ought at the very least to read Sartre as well.

If you read Nietzsche while inexperienced you will misunderstand him (like nearly all content creators do). However you could read him now, take notes and then reread him in 5-10 years and see how you've changed.

Dostoyevsky has a couple of short stories, I've heard good things about "white nights" and "Notes from the underground" is a classic.
Keep in mind that choosing translations can be quite important, especially if you are reading in English as a non-native. E.g. Constance garnet is thrown out the window for me, as I often find the prose not very natural to the language of my mind.

All in all, maybe start with 'White nights', into 'Notes from the Underground'. Then transition to Camus ('Stranger' is popular but not my cup of tea, 'Myth of Sisyphus' is more interesting although that's personal taste.) and Sartre; 'Nausea', to me, is the epitome of existentialist fiction. After reading these Authors I'd interject with Frankl, Vikor E.'s "Man's search for meaning".

Should keep you busy for a while

[pine bay]

This helps a ton, cheers

[gleaming juniper]

Which translation of nausea should i go for

[visual loom]

I was never really able to get into Murakami (maybe my mistake was starting with his memoir, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running), but based on the little that I know about his writing:

• Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell for interwoven/nested storylines
• The Savage Girl by Alex Shakar for weird surrealist contemporary fiction (interestingly written if a bit unpolished)
• The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa (short and sweet)

What are peoples' favorite books? (And why)

[amber ether]

Does anyone have a fiction/non fiction rec for a heart wrenching book?

[visual loom]

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

[amber ether]

Thanks, I'll add it to my tbr

[kind jewel]

fiction - as long as the lemon trees grow by zoulfa katouh

[amber ether]

My favorite books are:
-The house of stairs by William sleator, because it was one of my first mystery books and it's very well written plus the plot isn't easily guessed and It was also my first book in which there were multiple p.o.v's which I absolutely love.
-girl in pieces by Kathleen Glasgow, it destroyed me mentally a bit so it accomplished it's lesson.
-every last word by Tamara Ireland stone it's a very cute romance and I thought the ocd in it was also well portrayed.

• lost boy by Christina Henry, it's a perspective to the Peter pan story I never thought about.
• we were liars, I thought it was a cute book, needless to say I was very shocked when I read one of the last chapters.
  -heartstoppers very cute graphic novel
  -solitaire it's pretty cool and not so focused on the romance aspect
  -suicide notes by Michael Thomas ford is also well written and talking about a hard subject

[amber ether]

Thanks, I'll also add it to my tbr

[frozen crypt]

Whichever speaks to you. You can go on amazon and read the first pages for free and in that way compare translations.

[limpid kayak]

Sure I'll read em

[limpid kayak]

Ohhh I started the cat one it's pretty smooth till now

Probably will finish it tomorrow

[frozen crypt]

Proust's famous - In search of lost time. A true masterpiece. The most beautiful, soul touching and memorable prose. I re-read it every 2-3 years in its entirety. Proust has left the deepest impact of any author I've read so far.

[fickle forge]

I started reading crime and punishment but i’ve never gotten back to it

[gleaming juniper]

Wanna read crime and punishment together

[gleaming juniper]

Like we can just start reading it at the same time and have a deadline to finish to book and then we can discuss it together

[fickle forge]

Can we do like x amount of chapters every week and then discuss it?

[gleaming juniper]

Yes we can do that

[fickle forge]

Cool

[violet slate]

Which translation of “the brothers karamazov” would you suggest?

[vast thicket]

i would like to join in that too

[frozen crypt]

The nr 1 way of figuring out, is to go to amazon and to read the first couple of pages of each translation. Its more about what clicks with you and your English of your mind, which is heavily affected by your mothertounge. Ergo, its a personal choice. Second best is split, between reading through this compiled list https://welovetranslations.com/2022/01/10/whats-the-best-translation-of-the-brothers-karamazov/ or watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_TXWZRQOTE&t.

[gleaming juniper]

Okay you can join

[frozen crypt]

What speed will yall be reading at? If yall are going a bit slower I'd like to join as well.

Hello, I am currently a computer science student and am looking for books or audiobooks for my daily commute to university. The books or audio books should be tech-related or at least something that might help me in general. Do you have any recommendations?

[gleaming juniper]

you can listen to how i built this

[frosty swallow]

I used to be a big Murakami fan but I realised it wasn't worth sitting through all the stuff he writes about kids.
Try some different Japanese Magical Realists like Kazuo Ishiguro.
Ruth Ozeki's A Tale For The Time Being also has a magical touch to an otherwise grounded story

[pure stag]

you end up reading it?

Hi, I'm finding a book about finding inspiration and interest from the stuff that you used to have passion of doing it

basically, finding inspiration to become passionate on the favourite things that you used to do.

(sorry if there's any confusion on my English, as it is not my first language and I'm not fluent in it.)

[violet slate]

The housekeeper and the professor by Ogawa

I finished reading 'make your bed' by William Mcraven. It's a short read, if you're looking to build some skills such as discipline, humility, brotherhood, you can try it. The author was a Navy seal

[umbral sinew]

What are you interested in? It's not a book but there's this youtuber named Lex Fridman that often invites famous computer scientists and they have hour long discussions about their work and the future of comp sci. If you haven't watched his videos I really reccomend them!

[umbral sinew]

It might not be exactly what you're looking for but it helped me figure out what I'd like to pursue and how to get started: The Craft of Research by Wayne C. Booth!

The first couple chapters talk about how to go about actually figuring out what it is you'd like to work on! Which I feel can apply to anything even outside the realm of research :)

[umbral sinew]

I understood you mighty clear if you asked me :)

[terse wraith]

ahh thank you for your recommendation!!

[terse wraith]

I'm delighted to hear that haha

I would recommend this book immensely as it taught me many things in conversations, treating others, treating arguments etc.
This book will work wonders for you if you are trying to level up your social skills and especially in your workplace, school. etc
I suggest that all of you check this book out as it can make your life better in both the short and long run!
If any of you have a book recommendation for me, I would gladly take it! :D

the secret history, it has a thriller vibe tho its not in the main thing but the mystery does it

[obsidian marsh]

Sooo many, what are u interested in?

[violet slate]

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Go for the annotated edition if you find the language hard to understand

[gleaming juniper]

I recently read " the heiress" , it was a quick and fun read

I loved "Sadie" and "Looking for Jane"

All of these are mystery thrillers if

Ig

[gleaming juniper]

👍

[bronze horizon]

One I wouldnt recommend is Plato's The Republic.
Im currently reading it and its such a chore 🥱

[bitter trail]

OHH GREAT. I have this book with me!

[dawn flame]

thank youu ill check them out

[obsidian marsh]

i love political philosophy, if you're interested in that i reccomend thomas more's "Utopia" (he was the first true communist lol but its interesting how he draws the argument) and maquiaveli's "The Prince" (its basically a manual for rulling in the renaissance but its so real and so mean at the same time that it scares you but teaches you)

they're both very short and easy to rea

read

[sleek condor]

does anyone have any valuable book recommendations to me as a 14 year old?

[stone fog]

Which genre recs are you looking for?

[kind trout]

U should read Wonder

https://tenor.com/view/wonder-title-movie-cursive-gif-8757148

There is a movie about it too I recomend

[light stag]

yeah its good

[olive galleon]

you read any philosophy other than political? - curious because I’ve not tried political philo

[obsidian marsh]

Ahm, yes, mainly existencialism as well but fortunatly in portugal all of us have philosophy in High scholl so o could read more complex texts earlier

But descartes' "the discorse on method" is a very good small starter for understanding his process of figuring the thinking process

Then patos' the analogy of the cavern

Plato's

Anddd a portuguese writer, my fav, wrote a book that doesnt exactly try to solve problems but his reflections are immaculate. Its Fernando Pessoa, he his very well known around the world. The book is "the book of disquiet"

[olive galleon]

oh that’s interesting that they introduce philosophy in high school. thanks for the recommendations. I’m aware of Fernando’s work - it’s been recommended a few times but its not high on my reading list. I’m also not sure if it will do more harm than good by my reading it haha

[sleek condor]

romance, stories with morals, value, fiction (similar to the book 3 days of happiness)

[kind trout]

Yea I read it like 500000 thousands times

[kind jewel]

an absolutely remarkable thing by Hank Green

[violet slate]

I was looking forward to read it. How is it?😶

[stone fog]

Hmm...I'd recommend Anthony Doerr's "All the Light We Cannot See"

[light stag]

lol, i have it since 5 years

[bronze horizon]

It is presented as a discussion between Socrates and some followers which gives the impression a serious discussion will be held. However Socrates's opponents are annoyingly compliant and some of his arguments are really outrageous.

Historically the book has an enormous significance but it doesn't really hold up today in its contents I think

[violet slate]

Umhmm
Thanks man

[gleaming juniper]

There's Norwegian wood by haruki murakami, it's about life as a student and it's damn hrny

There's also heaven by meiko Kawasaki, it's about a middle schooler with some eye problem and that's being bullied and falls in love w another girl that's bullied, it's a lull twisted

(if my explanations weren't bad enough you obviously should read the official description of the books and read some reviews on goodreads if you're still unsure)

[gleaming juniper]

thanks

[lunar yoke]

Yes yes

[hot flint]

Has anyone read "Make It Stick" by Peter C. Brown? What are your impressions? Did it help you to study more efficiently?

[olive galleon]

it explains the science behind memory, forgetting and learning and also includes various study techniques and how effective they are for retention of information. it is interspersed with anecdotes (from coaches, teachers) and a lot of empirical evidence (might be dry at times)

it is a great book to understand how to learn to suit your needs but I would say in general, don’t simply stick to the formula. the best study technique is the one you’ll actually use. so balance between what is effective but also what is enjoyable to you

another piece of advice is that having a strategy (what you’ll get from this book) is only part of the journey. afterwards you have to execute and experiment with all these techniques. it might take a while to test and adjust and repeat the process but stick with it. all the best

[hot flint]

Thank you!

[gleaming juniper]

What an opinion 😄

It's a great book imo

Just like Discourses from Epictetus and Meditations from Marcus Aurelius, but yes, it's a philosophy book. You're supposed to be thinking alot whilst reading and understanding the messages

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbHYfzwnSrU

[atomic yacht]

hi! can anyone recommend books on electronics in general? :)

[winged pulsar]

the first book seems endless, but the second one is actually readable lol

[winged pulsar]

Nevertheless, you will actually understand it better (and faster) if you follow some sort of philosophy course that allows you to properly examine particular sections of the different dialogues the book has

[gleaming juniper]

The necessity for a course largely hinges on the complexity of the book in question. From my experience, the books I've delved into didn't necessitate formal instruction. also, dismissing a book simply because it presents a challenge is akin to discouraging someone from going to the gym because it's a hard challenge, disregarding the numerous benefits it offers.

[gleaming juniper]

What philosophy course have you taken? and why do you recommend it

[winged pulsar]

Tho I wholeheartedly agree on the variability of a book's complexity, given the chance he hasn't read a proper philosophy book, he may end up dropping it. Having a hard time trying to translate the dialogues philosophical ideas, by not understanding the situational context they're in, is a usual problem that could be easily solved by either some guidance from a friend who has read it or a short philosophy course.

[winged pulsar]

The understanding of what we consider a philosophy course may be a little it different, for, where I am from you have both undergrad courses and separate, specific courses aimed to those with no formal instruction in philosophy. I was referring to the latter.

And I'm currently in an Energy Engineering undergrad, not formally studying philosophy (for now...)

[gleaming juniper]

Philosophy books teach you how to interpret and comprehend information rationally enough in my opinion.

[gleaming juniper]

Don't know how a friend can improve your comprehension

You need to improve your comprehension yourself by mastering the language first of.

[bronze horizon]

Okay but how do you rationalise "lets create an überrace of rulers who are genetically superior to the plebs" or "lets censor art that doesn't praise our morals". We are talking about a whole different age, so I know our morality doesn't map to theirs but when he backs those stances up with idiotic arguments it becomes a bit tedious to read.
I finished it today and there were definitely good and interesting parts in it but also just wacko bullshit parts.
The arguments "muh you just got to think harder while reading" or "you don't have the prerequisite knowledge, you first need to study philosophy" are quite redundant imo.

[languid dawn]

If someone is interested in manga which consists of depression, suicide and other such themes do read ' Goodnight Punpun '
A great stomach turning and disgust filling manga
I just finished it and have been sad ever since

[gleaming juniper]

Why u want others to cry also

[languid dawn]

Yes

I want them to suffer

Jokes aside I already mentioned what can be present in the manga so it's their responsibility for the trauma

[winged pulsar]

Not really. Foucault's Hermeneutics hardly teaches you how to interpret it; same thing happens with philosophy books that, although reading them are a "must", require you to have some sort of knowledge about the historical baggage that led that author to write the book in question.

[winged pulsar]

Ever heard about the Socratic method/ Elenchus?

[gleaming juniper]

I haven't

[gleaming juniper]

yes i will not read it Ok

[languid dawn]

Highly agree with the last line
Especially in Marcus Aurelius' meditations ( sorry if I got the spelling wrong ), he writes the book in the midst of war, famine , when he is joyful, depressed or whenever he feels like it.
So sometimes it doesn't make sense what he is talking about, and understanding the authors situation leads to a better grasp on the text. It reminds of one meditation regarding the rain, that you cannot control nature and how the weather goes; so there is no point in cursing it or blaming it for a bad day. I believe he wrote this during a rainy day, or when he saw someone blame the rain for a bad day, and it just makes more sense.

[gleaming juniper]

Does anyone have book recommendations? I was planning to read more this year but I no idea what to read (type of book or type of genre)

[kind jewel]

fiction or non fiction? do you have any sort of genres in mind at all?

[gleaming juniper]

I don’t really know, although I would like to try something new before i mostly read hard science fiction

[kind jewel]

fantasy? or murder / thriller?

[gleaming juniper]

Thriller sounds good I think

[kind jewel]

The Mindf*ck series by ST Abby
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

[gleaming juniper]

Thanks

[winged pulsar]

Then you should look into it, it adds a whole new perspective to how one may consider philosophical ideas are created.

There's this commonly shared idea that ancient philosophers were locked in their rooms, writing and rambling with themselves all day, when in reality, many of them believed (Specially Socrates) writing was not an effective mean of communicating knowledge.

[gleaming juniper]

Thanks for the recommendation

[robust fern]

I want recomend dance dance dance by murakami

[gleaming juniper]

I recommend "The Joy of Imperfection" by Damon Zahariades . It actually showed me how much I was unfairly criticizing myself and the mistakes I made by trying to achieve perfection. The book emphasizes self-acceptance and embracing imperfection, which helped me become more realistic when planning and making decisions. It's a great read for anyone who struggles with self-criticism and unrealistic expectations.

it's quite complicated and the writing is stiff but the idea itself is really fascinating. I'd say try but if the writing style doesn't suit you then try the series instead

Anyone read books by Homer?

Homerus?

I thought he (if he exists) only wrote the Illias and Odyssey. According to wikipedia however there are more works attributed to him.

Never read anything in whole though. Read a children's adaptation of both, my father told me bed time stories about the Odyssey and I've watched movies, cartoons, ...

dune is an amazing book, but it tends to be a little confusing at the beginning, i'd recommend you read the first 100 pages and then start it over, that way you can clear any doubt about who anyone is and what are they doing, in my case it was a very slow read, but very very good! once you get it, everything is way more easy to understand

[vivid urchin]

I read Malcolm gladwell's outliers to get reading again. His stories are engaging. I loved the ones about the girls basketball team, David and Goliath, charter schools, and hockey.

If you're premed, I recommend Mountains Beyond Mountains. It's about a doctor who wanted to save Haiti from tuberculosis. He grew up poor, was smart as hell (Harvard med school I believe) and driven (if I recall, he flew back and forth from Haiti to Cambridge while in med school to treat people and get his degree). He died a couple years back but inspired many to help eradicate 3rd world diseases.

Tracy kidder wrote mountains beyond mountains. He's a very talented writer. Read a truck full of money if you like tech stories. It's about kayak, the cheap flight company.

Local library or university library are good choices too. If you aren't going to reread it, there's no point in owning it. It also gives you a deadline to finish it bc you can only have it out for so long

anyone here have horror or fantasy or western gunslinger recommendation books? 🙂

[dawn flame]

the shining by stephen king

[atomic copper]

i recommend anyone into adult political/fantasy/dystopian fiction to read the red rising series by pierce brown. it is adult fiction and has heavy themes, personally im 16 and i absolutely love it because it challenges me but its also super funny and hard to put down so, def my favourite series of all time as someone who grew up on the hunger games (the first book is kinda similar to the hunger games, just a lot more mature, but the rest arent)

honestly the only books where i love the main character just as much as everyone else

[atomic yacht]

ah i love dystopia! would you recommend it to someone whose english isn't their first language? because i've been trying to read more books in english in an attempt to improve, but i need to know if it's something that's easy to read or not :)

[atomic copper]

i would say its pretty difficult only because its a lot of technical/machinery terms that even i dont understand i just assume based on context and english is my first language so you could definitely try it but it might be a slow read

understanding the world building can be tricky at first

[wheat tangle]

if you havent read it already, 1984 by George O'rwell is pretty good. I read it for the first time in high school when I first started getting into reading and it wasn't too difficult for me!

then for just a general book recommendation, Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davis is wonderful.

oh and anything by Ross Gay! he's a wonderful writer.

[atomic yacht]

right! i've looked it up, and the book has been translated into my first language, so i'll add it to my list, thanks :D

[rapid cairn]

It's hard to name just one book. But for now, I can name 2 books.

Across the universe - Beth Revis
(It's actually a series of 3 books. this is the first book)

I am pilgrim - Terry Hayes

When I read this book translated into Turkish, I read it as a series of 2 books. I don't know if it is a series or a single book in its original language. It's a very good detective book. I liked it.

Many of my favorite books were written by Turkish authors. I don't think it has ever been translated into a foreign language. If I think of another book, I will add it.

Thanks, but i want to read it all by my self

[mighty gate]

Alrightii

There is a passage in page 24 about maths

It might differ in Italian

[atomic marten]

[mighty gate]

Yup crazy and unexpected

That's how this book is

[elfin abyss]

Well i don't know about the Italian translation but translation kinda matters because if it is not a good translation it will ruin the fun of the book

If you wanna read in English then i would say read the Richard prevar and larissa volokonshky one

[atomic marten]

Alright, thanks

[mighty gate]

Even the KYRIL ZINOVIEFF & JENNY HUGHES is a pretty good one

[elfin abyss]

Yeah malai

[subtle storm]

@mighty gate did you read crime and punishment ?

[mighty gate]

i haven't completed it yet due to exams

but i am already loving it

i am reading it in french and it's quite longer than the english one

but dostoevsky never fails to deliver no matter the language or the translater

[subtle storm]

After you finish a Dostoevsky book, what does it leave you with?

[mighty gate]

Personally, a mix of emotions

Confusion, surprise...

But most importantly it makes u think

And reflect

About urself, ur real self, ur real pure desires and wants apart from society's

How weak or Bad we can be without even noticing

The main Characters of his books are mostly People who are brutally honest about their inner and Deepest thoughts

Which makes us relate to them regarding Things we always try to hide, ideas we try to ignore

U might even hold so much respect for Them (despite them being Bad People) because they are brave enough to say Things u never had enough courage to admit.

His books are a lot more than a Story or a good read

[subtle storm]

Damn

I like that

Maybe a shoud get more in to Dostoevskij

I read White night

And there Is the things that you have listed in the main character

The more I think about it the more I realize the protagonist was exactly everything you described

Thanks man

[mighty gate]

That was the first one i read

In arabic

It's quite different From his other books

But just as great

[gleaming juniper]

Bought it recently, I haven'tread it yet but Excited to, and I'm pretty sure it's a good one so i recommend it.

[gleaming juniper]

U read in arabic too?
The last arab novel i read was called sparrow from the east if i remember correctly

[mighty gate]

Yeah that's how my reading passion All started

I do like reading in english but arabic just Hits different

It's my Mother tongue

[gleaming juniper]

The language and the arabic literature is indeed interesting

[gleaming juniper]

Same, what country are u from?

[mighty gate]

Morocco

U?

[gleaming juniper]

Same over here 😂

[mighty gate]

Nooo way hhhhh

[mighty gate]

Wld lblad hhhh

[gleaming juniper]

Fr fr

[elfin abyss]

Anyone wanna read the count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Duma together

I'm on page 51

[elfin abyss]

No it's not

It's basic life advice and telling the concept of logo therapy

[mighty gate]

I personally think it's good Overall If u haven't read a lot of self developpement books, it's a good way to find ur purpose, if u have then u'll find it pretty basic advice that we hear All the time

And tbh it's a very easy concept that can be explained in just a few lines, a whole book Just for Such an easy to understand idea is Not a really wise choice.

In case any of y'all is interested in japanese concepts as a whole

[gleaming juniper]

Simple advice can be the one missing piece we're looking for at times, i like to have stuff like that near me as a reminder

I also have a Google doc filled with some Jim Rohn advice that i keep and read it from time to time to keep myself in check, things like that can be everything we need sometimes, don't you think?

[mighty gate]

Can u send that doc pls

[gleaming juniper]

@craggy pawn @finite pebble

[craggy pawn]

cool

thanks

[gleaming juniper]

Ur wlcm🤝🏻

[pure stag]

was good but not just as great lol

the brother's Karamazov is unparalleled imo

[vivid urchin]

Quad rule notebook combined with lined is actually really genius. By any chance, could you tell me where I can buy it online?

[mighty gate]

I actually don't Know

Those are really common in my country

They are just everywhere

But maybe u can search on Amazon or maybe an african Website

[mighty gate]

Ok u got me here

Brothers karamazov is literally a course of psychology

Each of the 3 brothers has a different personality and u get to analyse each one of Them

I mean i looove notes from underground

But I have to say u're right

[vivid urchin]

Ah it's from Africa, thanks malak

[mighty gate]

U're wlcm!!

[gleaming juniper]

A must read

[dreamy niche]

Nice book

[gentle ledge]

Yoo guys did you have a recommendations of books in pdfs?

[ember veldt]

i do have some cool books on pdf i think

oops i sent it on a random language wait

its actually quite entertaining and short, totally reccomend it

oh and this one is about the growing journey of a person and its also quite entertaining and quite a spiritual and intelligent book

thats all i have for now, i dont read much fiction but im trying to lol

[cold fulcrum]

what kind of book ? 🙂

[winged pulsar]

gotta recommend this bad boy, I can't communicate how good of a writer Bioy Casares is 😭

[ember veldt]

Just finished demian by herman hesse, totally reccomend it

[static kite]

Any philosophical novels recommendations?

[winged pulsar]

Then, you might as well read Siddharta or Steppenwolf owo

[ember veldt]

They're on my reading list dw

[limpid terrace]

Do you you guys have any High Fantasy Recommendations

[limpid terrace]

?

[vivid urchin]

Have you read Sarah j Maas 🤣

[gentle ledge]

Some books of having simply language i think

[limpid terrace]

thanks

[ember veldt]

Ayo does anyone want to be friends w me on Goodreads?

Im collecting goodread friends like Pokemons lmao

[ember veldt]

by the way i finished white nights by Dostoevski today, what an enjoyable book and even though its about unrequited love, it doesnt make anyone the villain nor the hero, a totally reccomended short read (less than 90 pages like hello thats hella short)

[celest wasp]

i looooove the beginning of this novel, when it's described the perception of the main character while taking a walk at night... his fear of not recognizing the surroundings anymore.

[celest wasp]

I'm interested in reading Herman Hesse. Have you read any others? If so, which one would you recommend to read first?

[near matrix]

Hiii
Has anyone read "The Great Gatsby" before??
I was recommended this book a while ago and I mostly heard good stuff, but I kinda wanted to know what more people thought bout it before reading it

[ember veldt]

Well I have only read Demian which is really good and I recommend it, I also have Siddhartha on my reading list so I will read it soon

[ember veldt]

Yea I just loved how funny and light-hearted was the dialogue between the narrator and Nastenka, totally my favourite part of the book

[quartz pewter]

top tier book

[ember veldt]

I finished goodbye tsugumi by banana yoshimoto yesterday and I really enjoyed it, it's literally the perfect book for summer, you can feel as if you are in the summer nights at the beach with the main characters, suffering and being happy along with them, totally recommend it

And again, this author specialises on talking about magical realism, love and grief so keep that in mind for the story

I still think y'all should give it a try it has quite a minimalistic writing style and it's a relatively short read (187 pages approx)

I started to read this beauty last night tho, I'm only a few pages in

[bronze horizon]

I've just started reading kitchen by her

[ember veldt]

oh thats her best by far, hope u enjoy it

When Detective Kusanagi of the Tokyo Police tries to piece together the events of that day, he finds himself confronted by the most puzzling, mysterious circumstances he has ever investigated.

Looking for my first real book to pick up. Closest thing so far has been light novels for anime’s so looking for a good page turner

Otherwise I’m open to anything… I need to figure out what I enjoy or don’t enjoy right now

[spark crater]

Flow (a.k.a. Az öröm művészete - The art of happiness) by Csíkszentmihályi Mihály

Or "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant" is also pretty good (and free).

[grim hedge]

Hi, I'm looking for a book to read (not 2day but oneday)
Si-fi book or not
Main theme is humans die or being tortured
Ex: all tomorrow & I have no mouth and I must scream

It may sound basic buy my type of shit, any recommendations even novels or short stories are good and I'd love to check them

Just no happy ending please

[sweet zinc]

Blood meridian😭

[vernal willow]

Read Brother in the Land or some war type stories Ig

[grim hedge]

I dont want one with main character/s, just apocalypse, war books are mostly about hope or discovering self something something

[vernal willow]

Aa okah

[vernal willow]

Like your life or what ,

[grim hedge]

I'll let you know once I find it funny, but yes no happy ending or main characters, it's hard to find em

[sweet zinc]

Try slaughterhouse 5

the main character is one guy but it splits him into like many pieces

it feels like 7+ people

[thorny hound]

For everybody that overthinks

[vernal willow]

Then Read Silent Patient ,It's like psychological thriller and check the novels of Stephen King Ig those are mostly based on horror and such stuff .

Try World War Z ,Its a novel about zombie apocalypse

[vernal willow]

I have a poem for people who overthink about the future or that :
What if it's my last?
They say I'm young
Stop worrying so much*
You have a whole life ahead of you
So stop acting like tomorrow won't come
But how can they be certain
That today is not my last?
How can they be certain
Tomorrow will even come?
So I'll run through the fields
And do whatever my heart desires
Even if it seems embarrassing
And my cheeks do that thing when they go red.
I'd rather live each day like it's my last
Then waste every day thinking I have a future cast.

[thorny hound]

Yoooo
That's fire ngl
Really dope
You wrote it by yourself???

[manic crest]

i recommend "industrial society and its future"

extremely eye-opening, just crazy on some parts

[dense mica]

im halfway through norwegian wood

[dense mica]

nice tho..

[toxic gale]

ive read 1Q84

i haven't read any other works of his, what would be a good place to start?

[dense mica]

I'm also a beginner for Murakami. though Norwegian wood is a good one to start with.

[toxic gale]

ooh alright thank you

personally 1Q84 was a monster and very different from what i'd been reading previously

[dense mica]

hmm sounds fun, okay I'll add it to my reading list.

[vivid urchin]

7 habits of highly effective people (something like that) and how to win friends and influence people.

[bronze horizon]

I liked Norwegian Wood very much but it is pretty divisive, some people love it, some people hate it. Main criticism I heard was that it has a lot of unnecessary sex (whom are imo not unnecessary but rather some kind of reoccurring theme meant to illustrate something about the characters mindset and thats maybe not what those readers expect).

[dense mica]

I liked most of them parts though. I'm reading white nights now. Wbu

[bronze horizon]

just finished Atomic Habits, probably going to read East of Eden or Kafka on the Shore next

[digital shuttle]

How was it

[bronze horizon]

Okayish; felt like it could all be told in a way shorter book but it contained a lot of new insights for me

[digital shuttle]

Ohh
