I recommend this book to you. I don't think big consulting firms are so evil, but it's interesting to study their mistakes and how we can use consulting better for our organizations

[amber horizon]

[unborn geyser]

[steel carbon]

[lofty prism]

Anyone here read Secret History by Donna Tart?

I need some motivation to get out of a reading slump

[hexed solstice]

Read something short, mate. works like a charm for me

[olive galleon]

yep, it’s one of my fav pieces of fiction thus far. I loved the prose and build up to the climax

Def a slow burn type of book (it’s also a longer read than your average novel) but if you enjoy her style of writing then you’ll have no trouble getting through it

If you want to get out of a slump then maybe short stories since it is a longer book. But give it a go anyway if it sounds interesting to you

[shell glade]

if you just want to get back into the rhythm i'd reread a book that you really like, maybe a short one, and just aim for an easy target like 3 to 5 pages everyday.

chances are you'll read way more than that anyway but you'll feel good about reading again

[spark mauve]

Highly recommend The Life of a Stupid Man by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. It's what interested me in Japanese Literature. It's also short.

[untold briar]

Currently reading
The stranger by Albert camus
The secret history by Donna tartt
should I like continue "The secret history" im around page 111 or 114 i dont remember but its getting boring and on the other had the narrater just straight away said who died like WHYY

[dawn flame]

I heard Everyman's Library has best translations for Dostoevsky...... Has anyone read them?

[limber frost]

Hey guys, I’m trying to get back into reading again. I used to read quite a bit before COVID but lost the habit over time.
Could you suggest some beginner-friendly classic books that are engaging and easy to get into?
Would really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!

[torn pulsar]

[hexed solstice]

Lol

[hexed solstice]

What genre do you usually read?

[limber frost]

last genre i read was crime & friction

[near saffron]

Chetan bhagat's One Arranged Murder

Just to get back into it, grab anything from Agatha Christie maybe.

[hexed solstice]

No country for old men by McCarthy

[atomic yacht]

has anyone read The Count of Monte Cristo? is it really that good?

[ornate valve]

it's pretty nice/ catchy yes; but bare in mind it is pretty long too

[vivid void]

Yep read it in November, although its like 1300 pages long but it's very easy to read and get hooked on to

Fantastic story and book

[atomic yacht]

I've seen/read lots of reviews on it, and they're always good! I'm really considering buying it. thank you!

[vivid void]

Yeah go for it definitely worth it

[hexed solstice]

The feynman lectures on physics

[rough scarab]

has anyone read the summa theologica (any part of it)? ive heard aquinas and the summa theologica has shaped a lot of modern western thought, so i am interested. but also... the size of the work is ridiculous

[safe pendant]

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka...I don't even read classics and it's the best book I've read this year, very insightful, makes u think.

[ornate goblet]

can anyone give like a crazzzyyyyy murder mystery suggestion

[dawn flame]

and then there were none by agatha christie

[dire mulch]

ahemm its fake

i have 10k on it

before redeeming i have to put my money Gng

So, I think its not legit.

[late otter]

read both, idk why but for me it works

[late otter]

i see what you did there

[safe pendant]

I mean, I was just being honest.
Actually I'm not great at reading classics, I give up after 5 pages, but this was a page turner.

You have any recommendations?

[hexed solstice]

I do not see what they did there

[proud cape]

try to read it in German, if you read it in English. I read both versions, the German one is definitely better.

[safe pendant]

Idk german😭😭😭

[proud cape]

that's really unfortunate. Because the language in German version is better.

[late otter]

nah just kidding coz nowadays everyone recommend that book only, good book tho I've read as well

[strange pier]

Hii peeps, does anyone know any good books on productivity and focus that might be useful for someone with adhd?

[safe pendant]

Yeah probably cause its an easy read too.

[safe pendant]

There was this book anti-planner....it had some interesting ideas. U might want to check it out...I'm not sure if it is for dealing with adhd tho

[ornate goblet]

[regal geyser]

book: pride and prejudice by jane austen

(it's also available for free on project gutenberg!)

[nocturne grail]

I really liked the Einstein for dummies book.

[nocturne grail]

The Forever Hero Trilogy by L.E. Modesitt (First book, dawn for a distant earth)

The Time Machine by HG Wells,

Armor by John Steakley (futuristic soldier in a war),

Old Man's War series by John Scalzi (this one gets very sci-fi),

Pathfinder series by Orson Scott Card (not purely sci-fi, but it has a lot of sci-fi concepts)

[alpine jacinth]

Has anyone read Normal People by Sally Rooney?

[regal geyser]

yes

although it's been a while since i read it

[unborn geyser]

Yes I didnt like it

[regal geyser]

haha i didn't like it either

[atomic yacht]

yes! i really liked it to be honest. but i do prefer Intermezzo

[regal geyser]

<@&942391219206647828>

[unborn geyser]

Thanku

[late hinge]

Is anyone reading self growth books rn 🙋

Lemme know ur recs pls

[alpine jacinth]

@unborn geyser @regal geyser
Why didn't you like it?
(Asking cause I was planning to buy it)

[unborn geyser]

sally rooneys style of writing is first of all really difficult to read. you cant tell whether the characters are thinking or speaking etc, although shes very poetic when writing so thats a plus point i guess? but she also has some terrible moments with writing.
plot wise the time skips are very confusing, theres no actual conclusion to the storyline, the characters relationship is toxic and leads absolutely nowhere (i hate cornell hes insufferable), the female leads background wasnt explored at all when there was so much potential, theres way too much s3x where its not even required, its hella disorganised, the background characters arent explored. most of them stand as shells of people rather than showcasing themselves as characters with depth, the characters literally show no growth at all.. i could go on and on

[alpine jacinth]

Oh is it so...then yeah I guess I should just watch the series then lmao

Anyone have chill book recommendations? I’ve been reading very emotionally heavy books lately and want a break. No romance. I’m thinking fantasy, classics or East Asian literature. Please ensure that it is under 150 pages.

No

[upper hornet]

[untold briar]

Bruh

[nocturne grail]

The Riddlemaster Trilogy by Patricia McKillip is very good. I would not call it emotionally heavy, actually id say its a pretty beautiful series, haven't read anything else quite like it. Though im not sure id call it super chill, as there is a lot going on.

[spark mauve]

I see, I'll check it out. Thanks.

[honest nacelle]

the whole premise is amazing though

[honest nacelle]

ohkayy

[spark mauve]

Heard Pho Love Story is good. Never read it though.

[solemn shuttle]

Guys, how is Dune? Would you recommend it as a first fictional book to someone?

[nocturne grail]

Its interesting but I think it would be a hard first read

[solemn shuttle]

It's not my first book itself though.

[nocturne grail]

Well.. for a first time fictional book dune is a bit intense and confusing, and weird in some parts. The beginning is really strong though.

For me, Harry Potter was my first fictional book series, then Time Machine by HG Wells, and I think I read Lord of the Rings, the redwall series and Frankenstein after that. I've been enjoying reading ever since.

[solemn shuttle]

I've read Murder on the Orient Express as my first and the only fictional book yet.

book: what you are looking for is in the library by michiko aoyama

[finite moss]

Hello everyone, does anyone know of a book that is like the no longer human

[frozen terrace]

Have you read diary of an oxygen thief?

I found it kind of funny lol

[finite moss]

No, I haven't read it yet. It's like no longer human?

[frozen terrace]

I think so. The main character is the bad guy, but its more comedic. Like youre having a conversation with the main character.

[quiet mountain]

does anyone have the pdf of kafka on the shore?

[timber violet]

recommend life for sale by yukio mishima. atmosphere-wise, parts of it also reminded me of norwegian wood definitely worth a read too

[timber violet]

[mossy sky]

i wanna get into reading, but these self help books bore me

[vivid void]

Read some good fiction

I remember buying like 5 self help books when I started to get into reading and barely managed to read one of em

[regal geyser]

i’d recommend fiction too

most self help books are boring and repetitive, and at least to me, they’re usually common sense

[fiery hill]

DM me

[untold briar]

Dm me

[fiery hill]

Omg bro

I already did and gave him the book

[untold briar]

Its not like you gave "your book" it was just the data

And why u here study

[fiery hill]

I'm eating lunch

[fiery hill]

You don't know that

[mossy sky]

yeah but could you recommend afew that you like

[mossy sky]

exactly, so could you recommend some of the fictional books that youve enjoyed reading

[vivid void]

I haven't read many but the ones I thought that were easy to read and good reads are
Kafka on the Shore
Catcher in the Rye
Project Hail Mary
The Count of Monte Cristo( this one is pretty long)

I'm sure someone will have better recommendations but I think these are pretty good

[regal geyser]

i don’t think my personal favourites would be appropriate, given that you’re only getting into reading. the person above me has given some popular recommendations i’ve heard about though, so i’d just look into those

if you want to get into reading fiction, then just look for something in a genre that you think you would like. preferably something short and with an easy reading level. that can make it more doable to finish a book, which would hopefully give you a nice feeling of accomplishment and encourage you to read more

[vivid void]

Yeah I have given the ones that I felt were popular and easier to read and good for getting into stuff....

[livid island]

halo everyone, im trying to get into the reading hobby and have no idea which book to start with. Looking for a book that's fun and exciting to read, maybe like mystery or horror. Overall just a good book that will get me hooked into reading. Thank you guys :)

[vivid void]

Kafka on the shore was one of the very first books I read would definitely recommend it

It definitely has some mystery elements to it

[raw reef]

Hello everyone I am reading finnegans wake, it is so hard to make sense of the phrases there, perhaps I can find someone who is also as interested as me in the resource 🙂
Love you all lots

[glossy portal]

Heyyy 😉 if you want something fun, exciting, and super addictive I highly recommend some of my all-time favorites that got me HOOKED:

• Look Closer – David Ellis → absolutely insane plot twists, short chapters, fast-paced, and genuinely one of the craziest books I’ve read
• Never Lie – Freida McFadden*→ my go-to recommendation for new readers, super easy to read, insanely addictive, and the plot twist is WILD (easy one-day read)
• The Naturals series – Jennifer Lynn Barnes→ YA mystery but sooo good, very Criminal Minds vibes with profiling, secrets, and criminals
• The Inmate – Freida McFadden*→ another fast, twisty thriller that keeps you questioning everything

Hope one of these pulls you into the reading addiction hhhh 😊

[split wigeon]

Man.. need a link to download epub for atomic habits on my xteink that doesn’t suck. I’ve used the epub on archive.or-, i’ve tried editing the book on my calibre, i’ve even given each page to AI to clean up some text, but I still often find pages that don’t display well

i could just buy it for $12.99… but trying to find an unofficial pleasant look way to do it

[dawn flame]

annas archive is the best

use proxy sites if it doesnt work in ur country

My go-to website for any epub or pdf books is Oceanpdf

Frankenstein is a pretty wild one to read. I liked it a lot. Both a horror and mystery story.

No worries man

frankenstein is such a great book, timeless classic, tho the thing that stayed with me more than the horror was the philosophical side and the theme of otherness (god i cried reading this book sm)

[knotty sentinel]

Guys I have a massive exam I would love to read a light novel which makes me laugh and not very plot heavy so my uncle gave me pride n prejudice, I just wanted to know if it’s boring yk he is kinda old, n what is its vibe I know the plot is about wooing a rich lady but anything else I dunno

[dawn flame]

that is a NOT a light read 😭

[knotty sentinel]

Oh really? What’s its synopsis? Is it too much drama

[dawn flame]

its not a tough read but too dense for a light read. maybe read smth other than a classic during exams

[knotty sentinel]

Ahh okay thanks for the heads up

[supple pasture]

anyone know any books that has a good plot twist? (good as in it’s still a good book regardless)

[buoyant jay]

have you read 'The silent patient? crazy plot twist
-a good girl's guide to murder trilogy (i liked the second one's plot twist better : good girl,bad blood 🧑‍🦯

[supple pasture]

no i have not. thanks for recommending though!

[dawn flame]

gone girl by gillian flynn

slow burn in the beginning but very intense by the latter half

[supple pasture]

[nocturne grail]

Mistborn Brandon Sanderson, Legacies Modesitt, Riddlemaster Patricia McKillip, Warbreaker Brandon Sanderson

[languid pilot]

do you guys know any fantasy hidden gems? i want to get my friend a book, but i don't read fantasy

[raw ridge]

hey, som1 know a site to have free ebooks ?

[nocturne grail]

The books I listed above are good fantasy books. Also Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb, The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, A wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuinn, Imager by L.E. Modesitt, Magi'i of Cyador by L.E. Modesitt.

Some other good plot and fun to read, but not quite as great story books: Pathfinder by O.S. Card, The Way of Shadows by Brendon Weeks, Magician's Apprentice by Raymond Feist, Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan

Brent Weeks books are addictive and fast paced, but pretty dark though. If they don't like anything too dark I wouldn't recommend that one.

[calm grove]

Annas Archive or Libgen

Just read The Kite Runner

And well what can I say

[wary bramble]

Thankyou to Khaled Hosseini lol

[vivid void]

Yeah true I did end up looking him up on google for quite a while after finishing the book

I'll buy A Thousand Splendid Suns next

After I finish the remaining 10 or so books that are sitting in my shelf 😭

[buoyant jay]

gl gl,hope you recover from it 😭

[dawn flame]

take a 5 year break before reading it

[vivid void]

Haha yeah not until next year atleast

[wary bramble]

Yaaay

[paper crystal]

im not capping i hated the way it was paced wasnt a bad book but MAD MAD MAD slow

u should try the myth of sysyphus too

[vivid void]

Oh really? I didn't really mind it

I mean the last book I read before that was The Count of Monte Cristo so Ig that's why haha

[paper crystal]

haha fair enough
i am a hemingway fan boy

so i prefer faster paced books

[paper crystal]

how was that?

[vivid void]

Ahh I see haven't read any of his works yet but I'll try to soon

[vivid void]

Well you won't like the pace haha but absolutely fantastic for me

[paper crystal]

OH LUCKY YOU
you get to read him for the first time

[vivid void]

It was a bit hard to get through in the middle where it's kind of a filler arc but the beginning and the end are just one hell of a experience

[vivid void]

Hahaha yeahh

Which one will you recommend first

[paper crystal]

you shuold try old man and the sea, the sun also rises, both are pretty short reads then u can move to for whom the bell tolls

[vivid void]

I read last 500 or so pages in one day lol

[vivid void]

Ohh I'll look into them thanks

[paper crystal]

NO WAY how long did u to get through that

[vivid void]

Took me like 2 weeks I think

If a story gets me hooked, nothing is stopping me lol

[paper crystal]

try jack london too
doestvesky (idk how his name is spelt) is also a fun writer to read

[paper crystal]

oh thats mad good

[vivid void]

Read the Kite Runner in less than 3 days

[paper crystal]

no i meant for the last 500 pages how many hours did u take through it

[vivid void]

Yeah I've read Crime and Punishment but I definitely have to read it again and with better translation lol

[vivid void]

Took the whole day pretty much

[paper crystal]

it took me a solid 12 days i think im not sure
i juggle 2 books at once
one book im re reading or i trust the writer to keep me entertained and the other being a new book of a new genre or some philosophy

[vivid void]

I see, I've seen some people do that as well

[paper crystal]

i looked for this particular translation hemingway mentioned in his memoir 'a moveable feast' i got started from there

[vivid void]

Ooh

[paper crystal]

yeah but the only problem being i leave many many books unfinished

[vivid void]

Dang well sometimes it's fine Ig

That's me with Wuthering Heights lol

It's been 2 months and I haven't finished it 😭

[paper crystal]

thats me with war and peace

[vivid void]

It's almost as long as The Kite Runner

And I just can't get hooked to it

[vivid void]

Lmao that's understandable

[paper crystal]

that book is so hard to carry around and if i only read a book at home i just lose interest in the plot

[vivid void]

Yeah it'd be a pain to carry around

[paper crystal]

i even considered tearing away the book after every 100 pages i finish

[vivid void]

That's an insane thought 😭

[paper crystal]

then i thought it will be an insult to my man tolstoy

[vivid void]

Fr

[paper crystal]

i mean i have done it in my childhoo i was so freaking bored i read the entire atlas

[vivid void]

I've like 10 purchased untouched books that I really should get through

[vivid void]

Jeez

[paper crystal]

i tore the hardbind cover pages firsst it got lighter
then every few pages i tore the ones i got done with

[vivid void]

I could never lol

I barely damage the spine haha

[paper crystal]

oh i have 4-5 like that

[paper crystal]

dune being the one i am looking to read first

[vivid void]

Ooh nice one

I'll probably read The Odyssey next

Or maybe try to finish The Wuthering Heights

[paper crystal]

i feel carrying books around damages them and it builds a character to the book itself
what it has seen, where its travelled, how it was held etc etc

[paper crystal]

oh damn wanted to read that

[vivid void]

Yeah that's understandable but I can't really carry my books anywhere

[paper crystal]

i could never not even capping

[paper crystal]

oh why?

[vivid void]

And I like to read them in my room anyways

[vivid void]

Well I live in kind of a remote place rn and there isn't anywhere to go to

[paper crystal]

OH shi thats the coolest thing ever

[vivid void]

Not anywhere close atleast

[paper crystal]

im planning on doing that once uni is over
ima just sit and write scripts
come out and make the films after a few years and vanish again

[vivid void]

Yeah I'll give it one final push as well if not then I'll just leave it

[vivid void]

Sounds amazing ngl

Good luck man

[paper crystal]

hows it for u

away from society

[vivid void]

Well my uni itself is in a remote place so not really away from society Ig there are students here

But regardless of where I am, I prefer my own company and I don't really care about anything else

[paper crystal]

oh damn still doesnt sound bad ngl
what course are u in?

[vivid void]

Civil flippin engg

But I don't mind it

[paper crystal]

i love a mix to be honest
i am very selective about the company but i love having that selective company

[paper crystal]

HEELLLNAWWW

[vivid void]

Yeah Ig I'm kind of the same but as far as I've noticed I need to be alone atleast for a few hours in a day

[paper crystal]

agreed

[vivid void]

Otherwise I just drift into this silent and coma mode where I barely respond and know what's going on lol

[vivid void]

Lmao valid reaction, wbu

[paper crystal]

oh im the opposite
theres no visible difference just that my thoughts feel polluted with others desires and thoughts after a while
that shi seems to rub off on others

[vivid void]

Dang yeah I could see why

[paper crystal]

finance
econ major

[vivid void]

Damn definitely cooler than mine

But I couldn't do econ for shit

[paper crystal]

oh its WAY easier than eng

[vivid void]

It's the same but different in a way that people don't like when I just stop speaking all together and it ruins the whole vibe of wtver the hell is going on at that time lol

[vivid void]

Maybe yes but I just don't have the brains for it ifykwim

[paper crystal]

oh here its better as time passes i just aim to consume shit that causes me cancer at a faster rate and continue yapping around

[paper crystal]

im sure u do
but alr

[vivid void]

Lol I see

[vivid void]

I tried in high school but couldn't comprehend much of it

Physics was easier for me

[paper crystal]

physics was alr for me too

i just hated CHEM

fuck that shit

[vivid void]

Haha yeah I didn't really like it either

But I knew I couldn't deal with finance and accounting and all that

And medical was a big no anyways

[paper crystal]

i was so stupid while i joint uni that way
"i am studying so i can make money, ima just straight up study about money"
that was the entire logic behind me taking econ

anti-climatic bs

[vivid void]

Hahaha

There's a lot of change in mindset in this period

I was very different as well

[paper crystal]

and now i dont want money, like i dont really give a fuck, im ok with dying poor honestly

the downfall to poverty will suck

but fuck that

[vivid void]

That's pretty interesting

[paper crystal]

yes its scary, my self-image keeps altering from considering myself as insane as a rabid dog to smart

[vivid void]

I don't really find ppl like you here haha

[vivid void]

Yepp relatable af

[paper crystal]

yeah i dont believe in the grind culture, i feel its fake, how can doing something u hate make u happy or satisfied wtf
i am just here so i feel stupid and can focus before exams
i got one tomr too lmao the only reason im active here

[vivid void]

Yeah that's true, I feel the same way in that aspect too but at the same time I'm glad that I'm grinding smth that if not "love", I atleast like the subjects lol and I get money after grinding which isn't really the biggest goal of my life but I think I'll be happier with some materialistic things in my life lol

Good luck with the exam tho

[paper crystal]

I mean u question deeper the answer is a 0
Pure nihilism so I believed in daily purpose, that like we change it changes too in days weeks or months
But off-late I was listening to Rick Rubin and my view changed then a lil bit of Taoism and I have a brand new view on things now

[paper crystal]

Need it ahahah

[vivid void]

I see I've heard of the basic philosophy of Taoism but that was when I was trying to find a way through life and looking for the "best" One which Ik sounds pretty fuckin stupid but now I just don't care haha, I do what I like and what I think is good for me or what will eventually bring me joy and idk what philosophy it falls in Or maybe I'm the biggest fool in the world but hey I don't care

[paper crystal]

wow thats some cirppling self talk
no it makes sense
whatever floats ur boat
im still looking for whats ideal for me

so i picked up this pocket notebook

i just write the questions i get

[vivid void]

That's nice yeah I've done that too

[paper crystal]

i answer them
i then test the philosophy
make ammends or scrap it altogether and write down y i did it and where it fucked up and all the places it was good etc
then new ideas that seem good try them too
its an ongoing process thats never ending
and every ammend my life gets better honestly internally more peaceful

[vivid void]

That's fantastic to hear man, it's a good process

[paper crystal]

you should give it a try

[paper crystal]

i hope so lmao

[vivid void]

Yeah maybe I will but I'm quite happy with who I am as a person rn, there are obviously many things I lack and I maybe shit at but I'm comfortable with myself and I don't mind where my life is heading at this rate

But maybe it's all just a bubble and when it bursts I'll fall through

[paper crystal]

thats so cool to hear man

i just wish i had the clarity on what i wanted

i just know what i dont want

very well

[vivid void]

But then again I don't mind that either

[vivid void]

That's a big win

[paper crystal]

nothing of what i want lmao

[paper crystal]

HUMAN
like thts my compliment fam
peak human

[vivid void]

It takes time but we eventually figure it out and sometimes u never know you want smth until you have it

[paper crystal]

FAIR

[vivid void]

and when you have it, it's like shi that's pretty good

[paper crystal]

what is it for u

that made u feel this way]

[paper crystal]

thats the most podcast coded question wtf

[vivid void]

Hmmm just this state of mind I don't really know how to explain it but a few years ago I was very stressed and anxious about everything, I used to feel like I don't want anything I just want everything to be over but somehow I reached this point through that journey not really a turning point per say

[paper crystal]

OH thats cool

[vivid void]

Haha now that I look at it

I read Vagabond twice and it changed my life tbh

[paper crystal]

i got here in a similar way
i just felt learning to see the beauty in things collapsing was also part of life things got way simpler after that
i stopped trying unnecesarily
then the buddhist idea of being in the moment
the way they say it, that was the cherry on top

[paper crystal]

wait the manga?

[vivid void]

That's pretty cool, I definitely am the follower of the "being in the moment" It's great

[vivid void]

Yes sir

Maybe it's a childish play among the huge philosophical ideas but I kind of somehow lived through it

[paper crystal]

i cant read jack shit online fam
this is the longest online convo i have held in a year maybe
and mangas offline seem stupid to me (no offense to u or other manga reader)

[vivid void]

Unlike anything I've ever experienced

[paper crystal]

i wanted to read berserk too though

[paper crystal]

damn

[vivid void]

Yeah besides Vagabond I've maybe read 1 or 2 other mangas lmao I can't read them for shit

But yeah again the influence that single unifinished piece of fiction has had on me is unmatched

[paper crystal]

on what do u read them?

ill send u something give me a sec

[vivid void]

Pirated sites lol

[vivid void]

For sure

[paper crystal]

nah fam online reading manga takes straight up SKILL

i dont have that shit in me

[vivid void]

Hahaha I get it I can't read anything besides the few I've already read

[olive wolf]

[chrome pier]

can you guys reccomend some good biographies or memoirs?

[hexed solstice]

Into thin air

[ornate goblet]

has anyone read the count of monte cristo?

[vivid void]

Yesss

[tacit pebble]

It really depends on who you find interesting to read about, it's a very wide category. Storm of Steel by Ernst Jünger is the most interesting memoir I've read, and I think it's one that can be interesting for even people without a particular interest in WW1. If you're OK with a fictional story told in the style of an autobiography, No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai is top tier literature

In general I think there's not much to be learnt from memoirs/biographies of the tech CEO types that are so popular in this approximate area of the internet, other than how to capitalise on your fame by selling a biography

[timber violet]

peeps, if anyone wants to read «Wuthering Heights» or Tolstoy’s «Sunday» together and then discuss it, dm me

[ornate goblet]

omg how is ittt
lemmme know

[vivid void]

It's absolutely fantastic, despite being so long you never really feel like it's getting boring or dragging on. There are some parts/an arc where you might have to give yourself a slight push to read through but after getting through it you won't be able to stop reading

I read the Penguin Translation and it's really great unlike many other classics (English is not my first language) you can understand almost everything and you can easily get in the flow.

I read like last 500 pages in 1 day, I just couldn't let go lol

[chrome pier]

thanks for your recomendation.I will definately check them out.I read shoe dog which was also a good read.

[tacit pebble]

Enjoy 🙂

I forgot discord automatically makes : ) into the emoji i don't like that

[lean mortar]

It's the first book that got me into reading. Before it were all these boring ones from primary school. But from this I couldn't get away from, It's funny but I used to be trying to show up precisely on time to imitate Count de Monte Christo 😉

Don't know how I would rate it now, but me as a teenager would give it a solid 10.

[regal slate]

hello, i've been reading books on my phone and im looking at getting some of those books on paper, i've read like 6 self-help books and only one fiction (1984, the reason i haven't read any other fiction is that i enjoyed it so much that i can't find any other fiction that's as enjoyable for now) and i have a limited budget of about 3 (maybe 4) of the books that i've read, should i prioritize the self help books that i've learned the most from or should i buy 1984 plus some other fiction and maybe one or two self-help books?

i wanna get the self-help books that i can benifet from the most but i also wanna find some fiction i can actually enjoy i don't know what to do :(

[wooden latch]

I think you should try out fiction of similar genre, no point in buying the hard copies of self help books that you already know about (honestly reading self help does nothing, each of those 6 books probably promised you a complete change in life yet your life must pretty much be the same woth some improvements, upto you though)

To try out different fictions you can start reading on phone and if you like the book buy and read the rest as hard copy

Trust me when I say you'll grow up to think "why did I even bother to read all those self help books"

Just experiment, take action, and fail at things, teaches a lot more

Fictions on the other hand unlock a whole new level of cognitive imagination, for example if our current global system turns into a dystopian nightmare, people who've read 1984 are gonna be better off at understanding the nuances of the system than the ones who haven't.

[regal slate]

i agree with your prespective, but i personally believe that not all self-help books are bad. Which makes me even more unsure

plus i'm not really that good at extracting a deeper meaning from fiction, i mostly think of it as entertainment

[tacit pebble]

there's no obligation to feel like you're pulling any profound knowledge out of fiction, you're subconsiously learning much more than you realise from them anyway. it's good to just enjoy it

if you really must read self help then better to just p*rate them, atomic habits is probably the best of that genre and even that's barely worth reading - certainly not worth buying

[regal slate]

the main reason i even wanna buy the paper version of them is because apprently reading on paper is better for absorbing the information or something like that

[tacit pebble]

subjectively i definitely have an attachment to paper but i don't feel like i retain less from reading on my ereader

[regal slate]

well i sadly don't have an e-reader

nor can i buy one

[tacit pebble]

i don't know your financial situation but a kindle without ads runs you about £100, well worth the money if you end up "acquiring" books instead of buying paper copies

[regal slate]

i definitely would prefer an e-reader over buying paper books but for now i can't buy one

[tacit pebble]

For financial reasons?

[regal slate]

yeah

[tacit pebble]

Worth saving up for, in the UK a paper book is usually costing me about £15 so it's cheaper to get a kindle than 7 paper books

[regal slate]

i might end up doing that, the 3 books that i wanted to buy alone cost 60 dollars when converted from my currency to dollars

[tacit pebble]

Already over half way there then 🙂

[regal slate]

yeah, i guess i'll just try to eventually get a cheap-ish kindle and just read on my phone until then. Thanks for the advice

[tacit pebble]

You might even find one cheaper second-hand

[regal slate]

i tried but they're around the same price as new ones somehow

atleast on the open market that is

[tacit pebble]

Weird... but hang in there bro

So that I'm giving a book recommendation in the book recommendation channel instead of financial advice: The tartar steppe by Dino Buzzati is criminally underrated

[olive wolf]

If you want something cheap around like 70 bucks then buy the xteink4 I bought it a month ago and works like a charm it is small tho

[regal slate]

doesn't exist in my country and if i were to buy it off of amazon the shipping alone would be like an extra 50 dollars

[nocturne grail]

By the way I'm not sure if y'all are familiar with Gojo from JJk. You can think extremely confident, #1 obstacle of all villains, unrivaled in power, not the main character. in a world with some freaky cursed magic and being top dog in control of that magic. The person I've seen in books most closely resembling him (from what I can remember) is, the prism from the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks. I would recommend that series to JJK fans. The top level entities of that book series are a bit more crazy than JJK though.

[potent marlin]

this is a book recommendations channel. but i have a novel to recommend. its "a regressor's tale of cultivation."

hello peepss

does anyone have book recos for high school math (preferably something not too advanced)? i'm terribly weak in my foundations and my current math subjects are crumbling because of it, and i plan to start again from the beginning of where my gaps started

[nocturne grail]

Idk if you'd find it easier, but theres a lot of lower level math websites that will give problems and teaching for free so to speak. For a specific book, I'd need to search.

[dusky verge]

not sure what level high school math you are but corbett maths is a good starting point for working through foundation concepts (free website)

[regal slate]

hello, i've finished reading "the picture of dorian gray" and i read 1984 before that and now i'm pretty clueless about what fiction i should read next, any recommendations on fiction that's worth reading that is similar to these two? thanks in advance

[nova pewter]

you can read animal farm which is also by george orwell or smth like the metamorphosis by franz kafka

basically youre into dystopian fiction i assume

[regal slate]

Ive read a little bit of animal farm but it didnt attract me like 1984 did

[regal slate]

To be honest with you im not sure what fiction i like, but so far dystopian fiction has attracted me the most

The metamorphosis seems pretty interesting, i think i'll check it out. Thank you

[nocturne grail]

If you want a fantasy dystopia check out mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

Its set in a world where a tyrant has been ruling the planet for over a thousand years if i remember right

[frozen crypt]

100 years of solitude - Marquez, Nausea - Sartre, The Handmaid's tale - Atwood, The Road - McCarthy and For whom the bell tolls - Hemingway.

[regal slate]

Thank you both for the recommendations, ill check them out

[frozen crypt]

I believe amazon is about to shut off older gens of kindles from future updates, best bet for getting one for a low buck. If the current cracking doesn't work for them, the public will find a way sooner or later.

[regal slate]

Not many used old kindles where i live sadly

[nova pewter]

thats fair ive heard people say that 1984 is george orwell's best work

[warm thistle]

chat, any book on life gamification?

as in seeing my life as a game. A character with certain personalities. An ingame myth of legend who succeeded in life, character having to learn or adopt a certain philosphy to get further in life. With villain being unnecessary entertainment that waste ur time. A guiding voice that u can unlock once u starts to stacks win becoming closer to an ideal version of self.

essentially looking to expand my delusion, related book recommendation would be immensely helpful

[nova pewter]

this description instantly reminded me of a book called the alchemist by paolo coelho, you could check it out, its a self help book but its written in the way of a fiction book

[graceful blade]

Best?

As someone that's read animal farm, yeah I can say it's his best work. (Currently reading 1984 and it's pretty good but animal farm is amazing)

[frozen crypt]

Orwell's Burmese days is overlooked. Beats out 1984 as his best work of fiction for me, Animal farm was too on the nose making it rather dull.

[warm thistle]

thank you, i'll check it out!

[regal slate]

seems interesting, but considering the fact that it's a 7 book series and each book is 500+ pages, i'll pass, thanks for the recommendation though

[nocturne grail]

Only 3 books really, the others are a different series set with different characters. Suit yourself though

[warm thistle]

currently reading it, really nice. Thanks!

@empty jackal Have you read Habibi by him? I really wanted to read that one but I'm scared it's not going to be as good and I'm just gonna b disappointed 😛

@tribal grove

[empty jackal]

@crimson eagle Oh yes! I'm happy to hear that! do you have a book like this to recommend to me? 🙂

[crimson eagle]

Under a War Torn Sky by L.M Elliott is one I really enjoyed, about a WWII B-24 pilot whose plane gets shot down behind enemy lines. One of my favorites :3

@limpid musk that ending will make me cry prob

emotional book indeed

[ancient nexus]

For the space lovers:
I’ve just read Stephen Hawking’s ‘A Brief History Of Time’and I would really recommend it if you want to learn more about the different aspects of space such as black holes, the beginning and future (in his eyes) of the universe, time and interstellar travel...
I think that everyone can read it but if you have a background in college physics it’s more easier to understand.
Also the newer version has illustrations to understand the “sciency” stuff beter.

[tribal grove]

Yo his other book is amazing too

brief answers to the big questions

its kind of an archive

cuz i think he died before it was published

but it's great (not if you're religious tho, cuz he can be a bit anti-religion)

[ancient nexus]

Yeah he kinda was, if you watched his biopic you can see the evolution of his opinion towards religion and he wasn’t a big fan I think

And I’m going to read Brief answers to big questions for sure, he explains things very good

[tribal grove]

yup! theres literally a section where he explains his theory on why he thinks god isnt real

he doesn't care at all lol

[ancient nexus]

I find it really funny actually, his opinion changed a lot then because in his first book he always answers a question with a scientific answer but he also adds a answer with “God’s involvement”

[odd hound]

@gleaming juniper the secret garden is lovely

[gleaming juniper]

ty

[odd hound]

My edition is falling apart because i read it so often when i was younger :D

[gleaming juniper]

how young?

like teen or younger?

[coarse rivet]

recommend the book

[odd hound]

I read it when I was about seven for the first time but really appreciated it when i picked it up 3-5 years later. I think it's suited for any age though. If you spent a lot of time outside when you were a kid then you'll love it for sure. It's not written in a dumbed down kiddy way but in simple language (or at least what was simple 100 years ago).

[gleaming juniper]

younger than teen

ty for the recommendation

@gleaming juniper @knotty isle Why don't you guys, check out local libraries for those books...I have never bought any novels myself but have read many from the libraries. Currently, I am using PDFs though.

Anyone into detective novels, like Hercule Poirot or other Christie creations?

[knotty isle]

@knotty isle I live in Missouri but they're open. I mean they did close at first but then they reopened. Now you can either go there in person or just put holds on the books you want online and then pick them up when they're ready.

@hazy perch i never have gone to a public library in my whole life

@gleaming juniper

Oh. I am from Delhi, and I used to go to the ITO library during my school days. In college, I use the college one. I mostly study physics texts these days, so the meagre number of fiction novels are enough for me .

@hazy perch meeee!!
@dawn grail

Yee🎉

Which one is your favourite?

And I may suggest reading from e-Books as well . You will not enjoy at first but with time they do alright.

@gleaming juniper Do you read books online?

[knotty isle]

@gleaming juniper what bout the covid cases.. Which country?

@hazy perch oh nice... u r from Delhi!

[gleaming juniper]

@gleaming juniper what bout the covid cases.. Which country?
@knotty isle US. They limit the number of people allowed in the libraries and people have to have the mask on all the time. Social distancing is required and people are not allowed to touch books and stuff. So librarians get books for them and give the books to them in bags so they won't accidentally touch hands and stuff.

I actually work at a library myself but I requested time off for this semester since it got really tough with classes.

[hazy perch]

@knotty isle Hehe, yea I am in final year of DU. How about you? You are into science ?

@gleaming juniper It must be so nice to work in a library lol. Do you get to read when you want or you are mostly engrossed with the duties there itself?

[knotty isle]

@gleaming juniper I have a freaking desire to love someone in library 😅😅.. I K it's weird but that's me!!!

[gleaming juniper]

@gleaming juniper It must be so nice to work in a library lol. Do you get to read when you want or you are mostly engrossed with the duties there itself?
@hazy perch yeah it's nice. I like working there. No, I don't get to read cuz we are supposed to be working lol. I can read during my break time though but I like to read at home so I just borrow a bunch of books. Sometimes I would have like 30 books, if not more, at home to read but I still don't read most of them lol.

[knotty isle]
