book-recommendations

[hazy perch]

yes they were very amazing and back in grade 5th and 6th , I used to read geronimo stilton
@visual stratus

Aah, I remember how crazy kids used to be about those. Even the library made special rules for those books, that one can only borrow a limited number of them at a time!

@gleaming juniper Haha, well as per my experience whenever I have more books at my hand I end up not reading even one ! For me, one book at a time works alright. Though I think my fiction reading list have been too limited to Detective novels and that too specific characters.

@knotty isle Aha... Probably another Jee or neet aspirant then xD

[ruby dome]

Have anyone read a court of thorns and roses? Issa good book, finished it awhile back 👍

[gleaming juniper]

I have read the whole series

I'm planning on reading the 1Q48 series, anyone want to read it together

How long will it take u to read the book?

Cuz im often busy these days but i wanna read them too

[visual stratus]

yes they were very amazing and back in grade 5th and 6th , I used to read geronimo stilton
@visual stratus @hazy perch good old days 😥

my favourite was "valley of the giant skeletons" and the rat puns lmaooooo😂 😂
@eternal needle oo I don't remember any story except the one in which geronimo's vacation was ruined somewhere and his story came out to be big blockbuster

movie was made on his story as I remember

[knotty isle]

@hazy perch yeah 😂 jee aspirant !

Anyone who has read ...
Simple things make love ..

@gleaming juniper what is it about?

@hazy perch Same. For me I think borrowing 3 or 4 books at a time works better. If I didn't like a book, I would have the option to read another one, and also when I'm done with a book, there's another book to read until I go to the library again. Also, I love reading mystery books! I used to read detective novels in Arabic and I really liked reading those, never read an English detective novel, send me recommendations plz :))

[minor hedge]

[hollow seal]

welcome 😄

[hazy perch]

@gleaming juniper Hehe, even my reading list has quite a many bengali novels, but I do read English ones too, specially Agatha Christie. So I will recommend you novels of "Agatha Christie" and her character "Hercule Poirot"...I like the way, the story will take weird turns at the last few pages. Anyways going specific you may try "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" , "Murder on the Orient Express" and so on...One novel of her which I don't think you will hear often was " The Endless Night" . I personally loved the writing there, and liked the emotional appeal as well. You may try it too!

[eternal needle]

did anyone here read "to kill a mocking bird" by harper lee?

[wooden granite]

i'm currently reading that one lol

@minor hedge let me know too please, I was thinking of reading it but just wasn't too sure
@hollow seal quite good so far !

[gleaming juniper]

@gleaming juniper what is it about?
@dusty sail Im just sending what is written in the back side of it.
The year is 1984. Aomame is riding in a taxi on the expressway, in a hurry to carry out an assignment. Her work is not the kind that can be discussed in public. When they get tied up in traffic, the taxi driver suggests a bizarre ''proposal'' to her. Having no other choice she agrees, but as a result of her actions she starts to feel as though she is gradually becoming detached from the real world. She has been on a top secret mission, and her next job leads her to encounter the superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange disturbance that develops over a literary prize. While Aomame and Tengo impact on each other in various ways, at times by accident and at times intentionally, they come closer and closer to meeting. Eventually the two of them notice that they are indispensable to each other. Is it possible for them to ever meet in the real world?

Cuz im often busy these days but i wanna read them too

@hazy perch Thank you! I will check them out!

@hazy perch And Then There Were None
@void ravine Will check it out! Thanks!

[chilly tinsel]

@visual stratus nothing decided

[hazy perch]

@void ravine Aah! Indeed "And Then there were none" is a famous one. But it was more of a thriller, than a detective novel where you follow a train of deductions ! But a superb thriller though.

[void ravine]

Yeah this is true

[hazy perch]

@minor hedge Hehe. Yea. I was reading Byomkesh somedays ago. Feluda is evergreen, and it is what which attracted me to this world of detective novels. Whenever I visit some place, at the back of my mind I can always see Feluda in the plot xD

[void ravine]

There are lots of good ones from Agatha

[hazy perch]

@woven lake Hehe, I am not a JEE aspirant actually. I am rather studying for Masters entrances, like IIT -JAM. But ofc I have to study mechanics , electrodynamics too. So if you guys have something to discuss , then sure I am in.

[minor hedge]

@minor hedge Hehe. Yea. I was reading Byomkesh somedays ago. Feluda is evergreen, and it is what which attracted me to this world of detective novels. Whenever I visit some place, at the back of my mind I can always see Feluda in the plot xD
@hazy perch once i visited kolkata,the theme song of feluda was constantly coming in my mind

[hazy perch]

@void ravine There is one book Albert, which is rarely mentioned but I came by it. It is "Endless Night" . It is again, more of a thriller but I loved the way she wrote it. I can see through the plot though, but I guess that is just me xD

I could*

@minor hedge You are not in bengal?

[minor hedge]

i'm from Bangladesh

[gleaming juniper]

oop i think soo but my exams are probs gonna be in january, but imma try

we can read it after your exams if you want

wait, I'm coming to the DM's

[trail kernel]

I found Ishmael to be a really good philosophy book, i'm not sure if it's considered philosophy @low nexus

It's about a monkey convincing a human to be more friendly to animals, but it's really good

it's not a typical philosophy book though

[gleaming juniper]

@gleaming juniper Do you read books online?
@gleaming juniper sometimes

[knotty isle]

Anyone to suggest me books .. Which include tooo much curiosity

[dawn grail]

@knotty isle what do you typically like to read?

[knotty isle]

@dawn grail errm suspense and interesting stuff

[hollow seal]

@knotty isle Chaos by Tom O'Neil. That book blew my mind, its been over a week since i finished it and i still keep thinking about it

[dawn grail]

ooo okay. Into the Water by Paula Hawkins was pretty good. I seriously did not know who the killer was until the very last line. It's a murder mystery but it also has a lot of other triggering and dark material so it can be a bit of a hit or miss. I personally love anything by Agatha Christie, but especially her Hercule Poirot books. Those are great. A Young Adult one that I read recently is One of Us is Lying by Karen M. Mcmannus. Again, not everyone's cup of tea because it's a Y/A novel, and it's not really a suspenseful book but it was a fun read and actually got me out of a reading slump. The Tokyo Zodiac Murders by Soji Shimada was also really good! That was a book that sort of encourages the readers to guess along with the main characters.

I haven't read em yet, but my friend recommends The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a book that's currently on my 'to-be-read' pile but I can't wait to get to it!

And if you like webtoons/manhwas, Sweet Home and Bastard, both by Hwang Youngchan are also absolutely brilliant.

[knotty isle]

@hollow seal imma read it for sure 📚😍thank you

@dawn grail I can't thank enough 😍😍... Into the water 🙋.. I read that already.. I can't believe my eyes , I met someone who read that😳😳.. That's one of best books I have ever read

@dawn grail imma surely try ur suggestions.. Means a lot 😊💛

[hollow seal]

@hollow seal imma read it for sure 📚😍thank you
@knotty isle You're very welcome 😋 ☺️

I would also recommend Operation Paperclip: The Secret Intelligence Program that Brought Nazi Scientists to America by Annie Jacobsen

[minor hedge]

@knotty isle Chaos by Tom O'Neil. That book blew my mind, its been over a week since i finished it and i still keep thinking about it
@hollow seal can u tell more bout it?

[hollow seal]

of course! so Charles Manson a cult leader in the 1960's all his life has been locked up, his mother was a prostitute and drank heavily, his father no where to be seen. At age 11 or 13 (cant remember) he stole cars and did many illegal things due to his poor up bringing. It was until I believe 1967 or 68 where things really went south. Charles spent 7 or 8 years behind bars and finally does his time. He then starts a cult called the "Manson Family" these guys end up doing so many killings within the late 60's and many robberies and they never got any time in prison for it. why? well the books talks about that, but lets say it involved the CIA knowing fully well what the Manson Family were doing but they were telling the FBI and DA's to let them go, also in the 1950 there the CIA started an operation called MKULTRA where they used LSD to mind control people, get them to commit crimes, forget about what they did and then input false memories into their brains. (the book goes into more detail) and MKULTRA and the Manson Family have a very close connection. People always wanted to know how did Charles Manson get these people into cult and ordered them to kill without no hesitation from the people who were ordered to do so? People believe that MKULTRA had something to do with it, again the book goes into a crazy crazy rabbit hole. There are many other reason and other shocking things that happened with Charles Manson and the 60's but again dont want to spoil it. You would probably question your existence after reading the book lool I know I did for a couple of days

Tom O'Neil spent 20 years writing this book, back to back interviews with people who were involved, witnesses, members of the police, FBI, DA who knew Charles Manson. He references everything he found about Charles Manson and all the interview he did to finish this book.

He also talks about another book called "Helter Skelter" which was another book about Charles Manson which he debunks and proves how that book was a complete lie

very interesting shit I recommend everyone on this server to read it

[minor hedge]

bro thanks for this awsome review.your summary just made it more interesting to read! i'm gonna by that book ASAP!!! @hollow seal

[hollow seal]

No problem my guy, it was sold out last time I saw it on amazon hopefully they have restocked

[minor hedge]

hopefullyyyyy

[knotty isle]

@hollow seal oh sure I will read that

[strange thistle]

@knotty isle try Almond by Sohn Won Pyung it's awesome! I really loved it so much and it would really make eager to know more abt Alexithymia and what do ppl suffer from it feels

[grizzled bronze]

hey can you guys recommend a crime, mystery or thriller books?

[hollow seal]

hey can you guys recommend a crime, mystery or thriller books?
@grizzled bronze The book I recommended above, Chaos by Tom O'Neil 😀

[gleaming juniper]

I read Noughts and Crosses when I was 13 and it's absolutely great for young readers. It talks about racism, but it's in a world were white people were treated unfairly. It's about a love story between 2 people who struggle to stay together. I would not recommend it to anyone too young like, I think 12-13 and above is fine.

[stable arch]

@grizzled bronze Gone Girl, The Hunting Party, The Chain (Adrian McKinty), The Silent Patient, The Owl Always Hunts at Night, One of us is Lying, My Sister, the Serial Killer, Mindhunter.

[grizzled bronze]

Thanks guys

[knotty isle]

Guys.. Could you suggest me any free e-books app

Till my ordered books reach me

[gleaming juniper]

@grizzled bronze Gone Girl, The Hunting Party, The Chain (Adrian McKinty), The Silent Patient, The Owl Always Hunts at Night, One of us is Lying, My Sister, the Serial Killer, Mindhunter.
@stable arch One of us is lying is the book that made me like reading haha. It's my favorite book :))

Guys.. Could you suggest me any free e-books app
@knotty isle Usually if I wanted to read an ebook, I would use the library's website.

[knotty isle]

@gleaming juniper awesome idea!

But then I don't know any.. Sad

[gleaming juniper]

libraries you mean?

@knotty isle

[knotty isle]

@gleaming juniper yeah 😩

[stable arch]

Kindle is a good app

[gleaming juniper]

don't you have to pay for kindle? @stable arch

[stable arch]

not for the app itself but for the books yes ^^

[hazy perch]

If you want to read old books which have lost their copyrights which makes distributing them legal, you may look at Project Gutenberg Site.

[gleaming juniper]

[dreamy mango]

i dont know if it's a dystopian fic book but i really liked jose saramago's blindness

[buoyant mango]

It looks like a pretty good concept, may take a look at it sometime

[earnest bane]

Anybody read a little life

[latent goblet]

i just finished reading it

it was... an experience

[earnest bane]

Did you like it

I literally didn’t know how to feel lol @latent goblet

[latent goblet]

@earnest bane I... don’t know to be quite honest. It well written, the timeline is confusing though

but the story... wow

I felt drained by the time i finished it

[earnest bane]

I felt the same way

With so many things going on

I felt like it wasnt realistic anymore

Theres no way all that could happen to 1 person @latent goblet

[gleaming juniper]

i don't think i want to read a dystopian book in 2020

[latent goblet]

@earnest bane Exactly!! I think I gave it 3 stars on good reads

[graceful jungle]

I read it and it was so depressing...

But the story was good.

[dawn grail]

yeah I've heard a little life is literally just torture for those who like torture

I really liked On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta, and it's also got some incredibly sad components. But it's nowhere near as traumatic as a little life.

[earnest bane]

Yeah a lot of people have referred to a little life as “torture porn” @dawn grail @graceful jungle @latent goblet

@dawn grail I’ll check that out!

[undone sentinel]

Anybody read a little life
@earnest bane I had to recover for like two weeks after that book, I was unable to read anything after that for a while 😶 don't know if anyone felt the same haha

[latent goblet]

Yeah a lot of people have referred to a little life as “torture porn” @dawn grail @graceful jungle @latent goblet
@earnest bane LMAO they do have a point

@earnest bane I had to recover for like two weeks after that book, I was unable to read anything after that for a while 😶 don't know if anyone felt the same haha
@undone sentinel I had to read something right after to stop thinking about it bc I was so mad

[fiery cradle]

Oh woah somehow i did expect to see ‘a little life” here

Those torturing scenes didnt make me cry, those are just too exhausting to read

I kinna like those scenes where people care for each other, Harold’s parts did tear me up

[earnest bane]

@fiery cradle I feel so bad for Harold he’s def the best character but ended up having the shortest end of the stick by the end

[dry minnow]

Fiction or non fiction? Choose one

[waxen meadow]

non fiction

[silent light]

same

[dawn grail]

Fiction or non fiction? Choose one
@dry minnow you ask an impossible task, my friend

[earnest bane]

Fiction

[dry minnow]

@dry minnow you ask an impossible task, my friend
@dawn grail both are very significant I must say with non fiction being more direct

[dawn grail]

@dawn grail both are very significant I must say with non fiction being more direct
@dry minnow I guess it depends on your definition of 'direct' and your preferred method of interpreting messages.

I personally believe art (fiction for example) to be a brilliant interpreter of human emotion, social issues, psychology, philosophy, and more. Without writing a literal essay here, I think that art (in this case using fictional books as an example) can act as microcosms of our societies and paint very detailed images of the processes we live with.

That being said, they do tend to be more nuanced than non-fiction, and oftentimes the 'point' of the stories can be debated, so I agree with ya there 😅

@dawn grail Indeed. I guess each of them has their own way of telling the same story differently. And it's awesome because both serve different audience. But both are inseparable part of literature. A connection between fantasy and reality.

[winged iron]

what is this little life book 😮 i might want to read it lol

I got that book from the library but never got to read it lol. I'll read it after this semester ends

[knotty tide]

It's amazing. He explains about waking up at 5 am and how to make your morning productive. Importance of journal, books , planning and stuff.

[final crater]

Does Anyone have murder mystery book recommendations? Besides Sherlock and other classics.

[dreamy mango]

I really like Tess Gerritsen's book

Agatha Christie's books are great too

[chilly tinsel]

The Truth About The Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker

[final crater]

Thank you guys for the recommendations

[final crater]

Well ive read 2 hercule poirot books and definetely going to read more

[dreamy mango]

I'm a hard Agatha fan 😄 It's not a book suggestion but you should watch mini tv series called "And Then There Were None". It is based on Agatha's book. I really enjoyed watching it

Sorry for my english btw 😅

[final crater]

Ill check it. I think im going to be an Agatha fan to lol

I've read Hercule Poirot's Christmast and Death In The Clouds

[hazy perch]

You are then still to explore her more famous works. It is good you enjoyed those books. You may go for the more famous ones next like " Murder of Roger Ackroyd" . Her stories have a signature trademark of revealing the suspense at the second last chapter, for you to find out that there was some more surprise in the last chapter itself.

[hazy perch]

Hehe me too. It is like, her's are the only books which I read in a while!

[gleaming juniper]

any requests please about some books to read

😊

[final crater]

I'm going to buy 2 Poirot's books, maybe The Mysterious Affair at Styles and Murder of Roger Ackroyd

But I still prefer Sherlock to Poirot hehe

[earnest bane]

Did anyone read Kafka on the shore

[spice lintel]

it is interesting at the beginning (actually, his writing style always interesting, but in some books there are parts +18, as I have read at google feedbacks), but unfortunately i didn't read fully due to not having time

[earnest bane]

I actually read it 2x some years in between, I highly suggest you continue reading it! @spice lintel

[spice lintel]

I will, thnx)

i hope lool

[minor hedge]

[hollow seal]

Thats good but be careful, I was once obsessed and got burned out completely from them. Some books can be bs so do some research before you read them buddy

[dreamy mango]

have u read kinyas and kayra

broken dolls by james carol was pretty good too

[gleaming juniper]

nope but I've heard the name

[dreamy mango]

i read it last fall and i still think about it

[gleaming juniper]

what's that 'bout?

[dreamy mango]

all i could say is it's about two childhood friends who has mental illness if I say anything more than this it could be a spoiler and I hate spoilerss 🙂

if u want more detailed summary i can link it's goodread page

[gleaming juniper]

Sounds interesting I'll search about it and i also hate spoilers

[dreamy mango]

btw it's not a thriller book but i finished reading shadow of the wind by carlos ruiz zafon last night and i quite liked it u can search it up too if u want

[gleaming juniper]

Alright I'll look at 'em, thanks for the recommendations

[dreamy mango]

yw have a nice day 😺

[spiral jungle]

wsup

[twilit horizon]

yow. any fan of haruki murakami here? i've never read his book, where should i start? IQ84? kafka on the shore? norwegian wood?

[gleaming juniper]

Kafka on the shore bc its not a series

and me and other members here are starting reading iq84 on december i u wanna group read

[twilit horizon]

@gleaming juniper so the other are series? i just know that. thankyouu! aaak i wanna join too! then iq84 will be my first murakami's novel kkkk

[gleaming juniper]

@gleaming juniper

[gleaming juniper]

Ok i pinged her she‘ll add u

iq84 is a 3 book series
Kafka on the shore no
The third one idk

[twilit horizon]

okiii

[twilit horizon]

aha i see. the third one is famous in my country, also the first murakami's book that i've heard.

[mossy scaffold]

1Q84 was the first murakami’s book(s) that I read and honestly I would not recommend it as a first read

It was really difficult for me to finish the whole thing because it was just so slow-paced

[twilit horizon]

@mossy scaffold do what would you recommend?

*so

[earnest bane]

I would suggest Sputnik sweetheart or Norwegian food as introduction to murakami

[gleaming juniper]

Norwegian food? Lol

[earnest bane]

woops lol @gleaming juniper *wood

[mossy scaffold]

I really don’t know because I haven’t read anything else from him 😅

[twilit horizon]

hahahahaa okaay. a few novels that i read also slow paced, guess i'm ok with that.

[twilit horizon]

thanks a lot for the suggestion, i'll put it in my list too!

[gleaming juniper]

hey guys im a huge bookworm.....tho i mostly read paranormal romances i love other genres too

just got done with khaled hosseini books and they both die at the end also we were liars....last one was just epic!!!

could u pls recommend any books with epic plot twists

[final crater]

Detective books

[earnest bane]

@gleaming juniper we are liars

[gleaming juniper]

I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the chamber of Secrets

[gleaming juniper]

currently reading myth of sisyphus and just finished the stranger by albert camus

def recommend if any of u guys r into philosophy

[pliant river]

@gleaming juniper wait...Isnt camus the guy that said that humans have no purpose in their existence? So basically meaningless? I heard about him lately

[gleaming juniper]

yeah his philosophy primarily revolved around absurdism / existentialism

[gleaming juniper]

hey a huge potter head here!!! tell ne how ya like it

[jolly shale]

wow i started reading it yesterday (reading it for the 440th time btw...). its one of my favorites

[ornate barn]

The new books arrived!

[gleaming juniper]

hey all just saw ur recommendations and started a little life

[undone sentinel]

yeey, please keep us up to date 😄

anyone recommending Game of Thrones after seeing the series?

[gleaming juniper]

yeah sure...tho im still looking for books with epic plot twists do recommend......i hv read we were liars already

[gleaming juniper]

maybe not id suggest a similar kind called the red queen

[dreamy mango]

shadow of the wind has a nice plot twist. I recommend it

[ornate barn]

We were liars was soo sad

[twilit horizon]

wiiiii 🎉 the subtle art of not giving a F is still the best self help book that i've read. happy reading anyway 😻

[gleaming juniper]

truu so tru.....someone kinda spoiled the ending for me and i was really mad but the plot twist was crazyyyyy

[ornate barn]

@gleaming juniper yesss wasnt expected at all 🥺

[gleaming juniper]

What does it talk about? Would u recommend it

[dry minnow]

Yup. The ending was something else.

[twilit horizon]

@gleaming juniper of course i would recommend it! it's about accepting ourself, but also keep ourself improved. mark manson told some story, his own experience and others in this book and that makes us understand more, what to compare in our life (my fav is about the metallica part). the language is very lite, easily understood, even for the non-native. he is talking about reality, not about unreachable hopes and nonsense.

[gleaming juniper]

@twilit horizon thank you so much, i will consider reading it

[twilit horizon]

makes us realize what's in our control and what's not. and how dangerous it would become. @gleaming juniper you're welcome ✌️

[lyric karma]

I loved all the books I have read of him.Start with Kafka on the shore, followed by norwegian wood. I am yet to read iq84

[glass quiver]

Do you guys happen to know any good horror literature? Wanna get into it but don’t know where to start

Already finished Frankenstein and Dracula

[final crater]

I'm thinking of buying Haruki's Strange Library, is it good?

[lyric karma]

@final crater I haven't read that one.

I have read elephant vanishes.

[mortal yoke]

HSBDJDJKS

[glass quiver]

Ooo I actually never really understood the hype for Harry Potter

Tried to get into it but couldn’t

Will try it again. Should I watch the movies first or read the books??

[fiery cradle]

Anyone read non-fiction, philosophy to be specific?

I just read Immortality of Milan Kundera and I dont like it too much, are there any recommendations pls?

[mortal yoke]

1984 it's a masterpiece

[mortal yoke]

Beyond good and evil by Frierich Nietzsche (to be honest I still didn't read it unfortunately), the metamorphosis by franz kafka, The Alcimist by paulo coelho (of course), Fahrenheit 451 (another masterpiece), and every book of Fiodor Dostoïevski

[ornate barn]

I have it but never got to read it, maybe I should give it another try

[mortal yoke]

you should definitely read it

[fiery cradle]

Yeah Im reading “Brother Karamazov” of Dostoyevsky and quite satisfied about it. Im at few pages at the beginning of Metamorphosis and honestly it got me confused

1984 has been on my tbr for 3 months hic

[mortal yoke]

yeah and that's what i find absolutely fantastic about this book, this confusion

[fiery cradle]

Hm I will hang on it till the end for sure

Thank you all, these books will be in my December reading list ✨✨

[mortal yoke]

you're welcome 🥰

[empty zinc]

anybody got any good technology book recommendations?

[glass quiver]

Hmm can you be more specific?

You mean like computer science books?

Thanks will do

[empty zinc]

I am open to anything . I read the singularity is near by ray kurzweil recently that was a trip \

[gleaming juniper]

@empty zinc Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow

[empty zinc]

true still need to reada that

[empty zinc]

any others youd suggest?

[gleaming juniper]

bah, I haven't read much about it, I'm also looking for recommendations

[waxen meadow]

@empty zinc check out Silence on the Wire

It was written a long time ago, but still pretty good

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82994.Silence_on_the_Wire?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=pjz4EQCzKc&rank=1

[gleaming juniper]

What do you guys think of Dune? I still haven't read it yet.

[grizzled fern]

so what do you guys think of the book Hidden Figures

[lapis cloak]

Brave New World is so cool one of the best novels I ve ever read, anyone read before too?

[grizzled fern]

no

have you read percy jackson lighting theif

it a good book

[gleaming juniper]

I would like to read. I liked it so much 1984,Brave New World is similar ?

I like distopic novels

[grizzled fern]

mmmm interesting...... I'll have to look it up

what otherbooks do you guys reccomend

[gleaming juniper]

Stoner by John Willians

[mortal yoke]

I want to read brave new world too. I don't think that we could say that it's similar, it's true that both of the books talks about authority and dictatorship, but George Orwell's world is completely different from Aldous Huxley's.

[gleaming juniper]

thx, i think i'll like it

[mortal yoke]

You're welcome 😊

[ashen tiger]

Ayoo does anyone read philosophy or psychology related books ?

[leaden orbit]

Im reading one about lying

It's on german tho😅

[ashen tiger]

Oh what's the name ? Maybe there's a translation

[leaden orbit]

It's about how lying is not that bad and that everyone uses them to stand out better or to not hurt someones feelings

[fallen walrus]

Yup, for psychology recent ones I read are FLOW and What every body is saying. For philosophy anything, last was The Prince. wbu?

[ebon gorge]

Very inspirational

[mortal yoke]

I didn't read it yet. But I definitely will

Thank you for the reply

[knotty marsh]

I am currently reading the secret power it s another version of it

@true tinsel Tuesday With Morrie is sad asf, but fairly easy read @twin mica

[true tinsel]

true 😢

[torpid plinth]

is the book kind of historical
@gleaming juniper No, the book is more spiritual. Buddhism philosophy and religion.

[gleaming juniper]

The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge- Maria Rilke
Brave New World-Huxley
The Death of Ivan Ilyich-Tolstoy

i get excited even when i talk about them haha

[ebon gorge]

Jack london The Assassination Bureau, Ltd

what is your favorite book

[gleaming juniper]

hi

[torpid plinth]

I would say Camus and Hemingway at the moment. What about you?

[gleaming juniper]

Oh, Hemingway

[earnest bane]

Really hard to read but good I stopped tho I might just watch the movie

[torpid plinth]

For a second I thought you would say War and Peace. That thing isn't enjoyable to be completely honest.

[gleaming juniper]

oh, that's a good point. One year ago, i bought that book and swore to myself that i'll be finished this book in two week

[glass quiver]

I honestly don’t love classics

There are some gems out there

But like yeah war and peace just seems too much to read

And keep up with

Also it wasn’t really that engaging

I never really fully finished it

[gleaming juniper]

haha

i really would like to read

but had no enough courage to start

[glass quiver]

Well go for it!

Everyone has different tastes

[gleaming juniper]

agree

[glass quiver]

Yeah I got that

Especially in quarantine

Part of me really wants to read

[gleaming juniper]

i read demian now :)

[glass quiver]

And the other part finds “better” things to do

Ooo never heard of Demian

How is that going?

[gleaming juniper]

written by Herman Hesse

[glass quiver]

Or went

Are you don’t with it or nah?

[gleaming juniper]

emotional

[glass quiver]

I personally love reading autobiographies and memoirs

And just reading about successful people’s life’s

[gleaming juniper]

oh

like who

[glass quiver]

Any one really

[gleaming juniper]

i read marie curie's life story

[glass quiver]

Benjamin Franklin, nikola tesla, Elon musk Steve Jobs, also the bad blood book is amazing

[gleaming juniper]

[gleaming juniper]

yes

[glass quiver]

I don’t know much about her

[gleaming juniper]

oh really

do you know Turkish?

i can suggest you a video but it is in Turkish

[torpid plinth]

Two times Nobel Prize winner go look her up.

[glass quiver]

My turkish isn’t as good as some other natives

But I think I should be able to comprehend what’s going on

[torpid plinth]

*In different categories

[gleaming juniper]

what

[torpid plinth]

Personally I don't want to waste time on books I don't enjoy reading, although it can be beneficial to push through harder books.

[gleaming juniper]

oh, really

you don't waste ur time with reading actually but

it is about taste

maybe you couldn't find ur own taste?

about books

[glass quiver]

I think he meant that personally he doesn’t enjoy reading those kind of books

But I mean if it’s your taste go for it!

[glass quiver]

I agree, but if you are really pushing yourself in the process to finish that book it’s only gonna make you lose interest in reading all together

[torpid plinth]

It's not a matter of finding my own taste. But I am constantly trying new things. I have a good idea of what I enjoy as of now, but I won't push myself through any books that's not personally worthwhile.

[glass quiver]

Ah gotcha

[torpid plinth]

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying that you shouldn't bother reading and digging through some obscure writings. I just want to spend my time wisely on topics, ideas and authors that I am interested in.

[gleaming juniper]

i got you

yeah it is ur interest

for instance i feel bored when i read autobiographies but she enjoyed with this kindof books

so it is ur choice

what do you interested in?

[astral yew]

my favourite author is murakami by far, i just adore his writing style , and my favourite book from his is the wind up bird chronicle , not as talked about as the norweigan wood or kafka on the shore which are both amazing but this book.. i feel as if it changed me in a way , its just you have those books that when you read them you feel as if you became some else, that you´re not the same person you were before, i don´t know if it makes sense at all hahah but i recommend it

[mortal yoke]

Waaw it sounds really amazing, I'm gonna check it out, thanks for the recommendation 🙏

I want actually to read one of Rumi's book. His words make me dream and are so true.

[woeful scarab]

What can you recommend for newbie readers of murakami?

[astral yew]

i think everyone starts with norweigan wood, that was my first as well, you can also try south of the border west of the sun, it´s a shorter book and also one of my all time favorites , and after dark as well, it´s kinda different to his usual books but it´s also a great

[woeful scarab]

Thank youuu!

[silver slate]

hellu, just wondering what are your thoughts on picture of dorian gray? i personally struggled with the language lol. i think if i could understand it a bit better i would've really enjoyed the prose.

[fading mantle]

Kısa anketler doldurarak para kazanın. Google Ödüllü Anketler'i hemen indirin: https://googleopinionrewards.page.link/share

[gleaming juniper]

I feel bored when I read but I am hoping to develop a regular reading habit. I am also a very slow reader which makes it incredibly difficult to finish the book without losing interest. Can anyone tell me how can I do that? Where should I start?

[gleaming juniper]

Personally I find listening to some music in a quiet place while reading helps me with concentration. Hope this helps!

[tranquil kraken]

start with a book type that you may enjoy like a "thriller" and put min page limit instead of time limit after you read several books about "thriller" you can go with easy classics

[gleaming juniper]

I think the best approach is to starting with reading few minutes per day and then increase the time gradually, like 20 /30 minutes the first week and the next week doing 45min/1h. it's like when you work out at the gym, you have to start from simple things and then increase the difficulty. but you have to be costant, don't skip a single day. building an habit requires costancy.
as someone's already said, start with something enjoyable and dynamic, easy to read so you won't get bored;then when you'll trained to stay well focused while reading you can try something more complex like essays or whatever you're interested in. sorry if it's so long but I suck to sum up my thoughts

[torpid plinth]

Totally agree, consistency is the key.

[grave sail]

https://youtu.be/zxlx8aZJ6mE

@silver slate i felt the same way about dorian gray. i hated reading it and really struggled to finish it but the plot was nice and would have been enjoyable had the language been different

[crystal helm]

it was a rather nice book. has anyone read sense and sensibility?

[viscid aspen]

Sense and sensibility? I need to add that to my list ✋

[dry minnow]

Yup. I read it earlier this year and surprisingly I really liked it. If you are a Jane Austen fan, and want to learn more about the lives of people in Regency period, you should give it a go. Plus it's a classic.

[gleaming juniper]

i would rather read necronomicon then a promised land by barack obama

the book is basically an opinion of a person

and the usp of it is that its written by democratic president Barack Obama

[winged iron]

it's also good see the opinions of others.. even if it is obama hahaha @gleaming juniper

[sly dome]

whats yalls favorite haruki murakami book? i rly want to read one of his books but idk which one to read first

[heady totem]

i haven't read any but i heard the wild sheep chase is good

[gleaming juniper]

peak culture ......

[shadow maple]

Norwegian Wood is a great place to start to get a feel for his writing style

[shadow maple]

But Colorless Tusukuru Tazaki is one of my all time favs

[sly dome]

okay thank you!! i'll look into these

[astral yew]

has anyone seen burning (2018) the movie adaptation of one of the stories from murakami´s book the elephant vanishes? i´ve heard its amazing, i´m thinking of giving it a watch tonight, what are you ´re opinions if you´ve seen it already??

[astral yew]

my favorite is the wind up bird chronicles, im still in the middle of colorless tzukuru but its already amazing, but def not the books to start murakami with, give a try to norweigan wood or south of the border west of the sun

[dry minnow]

What is almost transparent blue about? I have it in my reading list but dunno much about it.

[gleaming juniper]

Good evening everyone,
Tonight I'm gonna start reading Underworld by DeLillo, has anyone read it?

[gleaming juniper]

Ahn lol 😆

[true tinsel]

hey this one is good ! hope ull enjoy

[lunar moon]

i just finished kafka on the shore and im kinda disappointed. i really hoped i would like it a lot more but it was a bit boring for me

[hollow condor]

I read it a couple months ago

I was reaaly immersed in it

Had fun

[fiery cradle]

I read 1984 and omg im speechless its just a ✨masterpiece✨

[true tinsel]

bro i know i love that book omg that changed me, not even lying! glad u enjoyed <3__<3

[stone meadow]

can anyone recommend books for beginner? i want to start reading but i dont know which book should i read first

[rocky sentinel]

Ruskin bond's books are good for beginners

[jaunty ridge]

hi! has anyone read this i remember by eleanor roosevelt yet? i dont want to start if its not that much of a good book bc i have a pile waiting for me lol

[merry blaze]

My first book was eragon which is part of the inheritance cycle, if you like fantasy ofcourse. It got me into that kind of thing but the Lord of the rings is a popular fan favourite

[torpid sparrow]

Everything depends on what are u into. For me, the book that got me into reading when I was 12, was Percy Jackson, the whole universe was exquisite for my mind. The mere idea of a little guy, same age as mine, fighting against Greek monsters and gods was awesome. Also, some of the characters were relatable, it was cool to see how I was growing up with them. Besides, the writing style is easy to catch up, and it’s pretty easy to understand what happening too.

[gleaming juniper]

Percy Jackson is still good it's so great
I read it again some months ago and I'm 25

[gleaming juniper]

Hey guys do you have some wishlist book for 2021?

[raven fjord]

Ready Player One got me to love reading again it's super good. there's a lot more story than there is in the movie

[last notch]

mine so far are are Becoming by Michelle Obama and How to Overcome Your Childhood (pretty hard to get this book) ☺️

[ancient thistle]

Hi guys I just started to read The Name of the Wind I it blows my mind like omg soo gooddd xd absolute recommendation

[ancient thistle]

Did you try Harry potter bc its good and the advice is you can prefer the books that you watch their movie like its not same The Books are best but you can try.What I am saying is you like watching Harry potter try reading

[torpid sparrow]

I heard the audiobook, it was intense but worth it

[thorny junco]

I’m thinking of trying audio books after my exams, is it as enjoyable as reading? Is it difficult to stay focused throughout the story?

[gleaming juniper]

You should be crazy working for your dream guys

[chilly tinsel]

What?

[astral yew]

it depends really, i listen to them in chunks and find it okay to focus tho to me is not the same as reading but i find it a lot more relaxing after staring at papers all day, but id say definitely give it a try, you can get a demo book and see if it works for you or not

[drowsy dove]

I started reading ' Thinking, fast and slow' by Daniel Kahneman. Dunno if you guys have heard of it. Loving it so far.

[pliant river]

If you don't mind telling, what is it about?? I'm curious.

[stone meadow]

who is the author for How to Overcome Your Childhood?

[drowsy dove]

It's about how to have rich conversations, devoid of biases. A psychological classic and an international bestseller. Totally worth a read.

[last notch]

I'm not sure, but the publisher is The Book of Life if I'm not mistaken

Guys if you have any books recommendation, let me know 😄 I'm into self-improvement/self-help books, but open to genres!

[gleaming juniper]

Currently reading the Four Agreements and its really good so far !

[last notch]

Oh I've heard about that book! Is it hard to understand like Sapiens?

[ornate barn]

I didn’t find it hard, the ideas are simple and well-written! But I haven’t read Sapiens so I’m not sure how different it is @last notch

[last notch]

ah I see, I'll check it out. Thank you! :) @ornate barn

[dreamy halo]

Love that book. Not an easy read tho

[drowsy dove]

I agree. I manage to read just 3-4 pages per day. Its an eye opener though.

[dreamy halo]

It surely is!

[gilded echo]

it's one of my most favorite books!

[hazy hare]

[gleaming juniper]

how is it? I have it in my room, but I haven't started reading it

[gleaming juniper]

Did you finish it? how was it? can you give a short description what you learned ?

[solid pecan]

I am not sure but is it 'burn'?

[drowsy dove]

You can't be disappointed with a psychology book. The content is great. It's a slow read though. I've only started it myself. And so far it's promising.

[gleaming juniper]

Cheers buddy for your opinion

[granite fable]

after completing the choice, go for The Gift - edith eger (same author)

[gleaming juniper]

[fiery cradle]

Do you all annotate books? (Except books for university)

I just use the color tabs to stick at the end of my favourite quotes

Ive been thinking ab using pencil or markers to annotate but I cant write or leave any marks or anything on the pages

Im too scared to damage my precious baes

[true tinsel]

i annotate mine (in general) ! i use pencil or if you dont want to ruin it, u could jus put sticky notes on every pages, bc for some ppl after theyve read it they want to sell it too so the quality is still nice. or if ur insane, use markers bwahaha XD

tbh pencil is like the lesser damage, if that makes sense, cos its erasable unlike markers....👀 👄 👀

[torpid plinth]

I just use a pen and underline, write on the page. Please don't kill me those who love to keep their books intact

[ornate valve]

If you want to keep your books crisp, maybe use a notebook to write on your fav quotes

[fiery cradle]

I want to annotate book bcause I want to make my books personal (and maybe funny to reread) but Im a perfectionist hic leaving marks in books makes me cringe

I shall find ways to work with the fears i guess

Maybe im have OCD ab this 🤦‍♀️

[true tinsel]

hmm i see where ur coming from, id feel the same way but i guess try to use pencil first and see if its sitting right w u, then u could switch to ballpen or markers ! do what u fear but dont be too hard on yourself too :''>

[fiery cradle]

Okay I will try thanks ✨✨

Maybe one day I become insane and use markers hahaha 😂

[ripe knoll]

thank you, but I guess there is no shipping of the choice to my country

[covert hatch]

i do that too!

[heady cosmos]

Has anyone read the collector's book by John Robert Fowles?

[spring ledge]

what are yall thoughts about buying counterfeit/reprinted books? i have thought about it since i don't have a lot of money, but i really do wanna read (english books) physically instead of staring at my screen

[last notch]

thinkin about doing the same, but I'm not sure whether it is counts as copyright infringement or not

[gleaming juniper]

Maybe try with second hand book

[dark current]

oh my god! it's incredible

[drowsy dove]

It sure is!

[dark current]

the author himself inspires me, the work he's done is just amazing

[drowsy dove]

Of course! Can't expect less from a nobel laureate

[hollow spade]

Hey I dont connect the chat group

[terse kraken]

does anyone here read books about spirituality? if so, can y’all suggest some good books?

[jaunty cargo]

I’ve been working my way through You Are Here by Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh! It’s more specific to Buddhist thought if that interests you and has been pretty good so far👍🏾

I’ve also heard The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle are good, though I haven’t gotten around to reading them myself yet lol

[supple acorn]

the courage to be disliked by ichiro and fumitake are by far the best yet ive read and joy at work by marie kondo and scot sonnenshien

[terse kraken]

i’ve heard a lot about this author... apparently his books are really great! i will check out his books! thanks though:)

[terse kraken]

ive started reading the celestine prophecy & i love it so far! i have the power of now too but i haven’t started it yet

[terse kraken]

okayy i’ll check them out:)) thank you

my fav is "and then there is none"

[lyric sand]

Oh yeah ive heard about that one. Thx!

[drowsy dove]

Mine too! Love this one.

[drowsy dove]

I finished it in December. The book does have some valid points. The rules mentioned, for instance, holds true in terms of the neuroscientific agenda of the brain.

[spring ledge]

im only halfway in and im confident to say that it did change me

[proud condor]

Finished reading a quarter of it and it's good so far I'm sure it'll be great in changing some of my habits

[paper kelp]

i'm gonna read it again after my exams haha. its the kind of book you read every year

hi guys ı am very new here can you explain me

[chilly tinsel]

a channel where we talk books

and no one has a single idea who jimmy is

just talk books

[fiery cradle]

Has anyone read “The invisible life of Addie Larue”? That book is quite popular recently

Im thinking should I buy it

[spring ledge]

do you guys read books when you have "study grind" days?

[gleaming juniper]

yes sometimes, i try to get in at least 20 minutes of reading a day

[lone briar]

bookmark

[earnest linden]

books I got today, I'm happy to have Atomic Habits now and to start reading it. I've already read Digital Minimalism but I wanted the actual physical version since I have moments I wanna read it but don't want to get my ipad to read it on the NOOK app.

[earnest linden]

Jimmy is short for James in the US

[chilly tinsel]

Oh

Its the same length of letters tho

[earnest linden]

"short" just means it's used in substitution, all short names are just nicknames. Like how Timmy is short for Timothy. For James it doesn't make much sense, but that's just how it is.

[chilly tinsel]

I thought it would be jamy

[sly dome]

but whos james

[spring ledge]

how's that Digital Minimalism book? i've been stumbling upon the 'digital decluttering' thing lately and i've seen a lot of recommendations for the book

[earnest linden]

it's pretty good! I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about digital minimalism since it covers what it is and also how to fill the time when you don't use devices as much. I liked reading it since it had more detail than the youtube videos on digital minmalism. And Cal Newport's writing doesn't make me bored.

[stiff wolf]

Currently reading Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie.

[prime vessel]

ahahaha how is the system ı mean how so you choose the book you will talk about

thanks! i'll look it up. i wanted to read his Deep Work book first though, ill get around that one maybe after

nice

[hazy perch]

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

[meager spire]

ooo yeah i got atomic habits too!

[heady cosmos]

[drowsy island]

its an autobiography of a neurosurgery resident who was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, i’ve just started it today.

[heady cosmos]

mmm okay

so is this a real story?

[drowsy island]

yes, it was published after the author had passed away

[heady cosmos]

interesting,then I'll add it to my reading list,ty🤍

[drowsy island]

it talks a lot about the authors journey into medicine and what a privilege it is to be a doctor, which is something i’m personally interested in, hope you enjoy <3

[ornate barn]

I started that book a while ago! It was an audio book

[heady cosmos]

I started to read the collector John Fowles

[gleaming juniper]

yes so good

[gleaming juniper]

I have just finished reading it ngl I cried

Can anyone recommend a good fictional book? Besides HP and LOTR

[gleaming juniper]

a court of thrones and roses/ the ocean at the end of the lane

[torpid plinth]

What genre of fictional book you're looking for? The ones you mentioned are really more leaned toward fantasy fictions

[prime cobalt]

hi,

[smoky owl]

Umm.. idk.. I've only read those two so far! I'm new at this.. 😬 whatever you recommend:)

[smoky owl]

Nicee.. I'll check it out👍 thanks🤗

[smoky owl]

I liked those two series so far.. any books in the same genre should be fine with me:)

[ornate valve]

On the same range, I would recommend The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis, His dark matters trilogy by Philip Pullman, and of course Eragon / The Heritage series by Christopher Paolini 🙂

[smoky owl]

Thank you ❤️ will check those out:)

[torpid plinth]

Great, you could perhaps try out Brandon Sanderson's books The Final Empire (The Mistborn series), @ornate valve mentioned some good series too for beginners. Enjoy your read!

[gleaming juniper]

Has anyone read THE WINNER STANDS ALONE by Paulo Coulo

[winter swift]

The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Has anyone read A Little Life?

[gleaming juniper]

I have it on my nightstand waiting for me but don't feel ready

[winter swift]

Ohh definitely you have to prepare yourself. It is not emotional, it is traumatising

[ornate barn]

I have it on my list but ik its very sad so haven’t started it yet

[winter swift]

I read like 50% of it and now I don’t have the guts to continue further lol😣

[gleaming juniper]

I wanted to read it during my 2weeks break before the next semester but maybe it's not a great idea lol

[ornate barn]

Yeah that is why I decided not to read it during school 😅

[gleaming juniper]

Any Ken Follet fan?

[neon barn]

https://tenor.com/view/hows-it-going-hi-wave-hamster-how-you-doing-gif-11573441

Yup it took me a couple of months, had to take a 2 months break at some point.

[winter swift]

How was your experience?

[gleaming juniper]

I decided to read more of him this year. Big fan of the pilar of the earth trilogy

Does anybody know a good romance book. Just for fun?

[chilly tinsel]

Fifty Shades of Gray

you might have heard about it, also its 3 or 4 books, idrk, but the story is worth reading

or you can just watch movie vesions, theyre equally amazing according to me, but dont contain ALL the good scenes from book

[gleaming juniper]

Oh I know they but they’re overrated in my opinion and didn’t really like it. If someone knows a few underrated ones that are not as brutal HAHAH I’m here for it 🚶‍♀️

[chilly tinsel]

lol, brutal 😆

The Notebook

[gleaming juniper]

Any suggestion on which one to read? I'm reading the rebecca code

[torpid plinth]

I only read his Kingsbridge trilogy and The Century Trilogy, so I can only speak for those. If you enjoyed Kingsbridge, you could perhaps try out this other trilogy. If it's too big of a commitment, The Rebecca Code seems to be decent standalone, so stick with it.

[torpid plinth]

A great book, although I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, it was rough. But if you're ready and determined to go through all the traumas and trigger warnings, go for it!

[winter swift]

The infernal devices or any books written by Cassandra Clare. It is actually more of a fantasy romance

[gleaming juniper]

guysssssssssssss

i just finished tiger!tiger!

also known as stars my destination

it was epic

recommend 10/10

[woeful mango]

I’m reading It by Stephen King and i’m loving it so much. I already love the movies

[gleaming juniper]

try to read it slowly @woeful mango and enjoy it fully. i wish i could forget and reread it :' )

[winter swift]

Have you read any other books by Stephen King?

[woeful mango]

I read The Shining, Joyland and Salem’s Lot but I didn’t love them. I read Pet Sematary too and liked it a lot

[winter swift]

Wow. I also read pet sematary and it was really good. Misery is sitting on my bookshelf. I have still not read it yet.

[woeful mango]

Misery is everybody’s favorite right? I have to confess that I started reading it but I felt the development of the story was very slowly. I intend to give it a second chance, because the plot is truly very interest

[winter swift]

I'll read it soon!

[gleaming juniper]

Try out his short stories!!

[woeful mango]

Oh yeah, I sure will!

[heady cosmos]

Guys, I finished reading the book Collector John Fowles. And I have mixed feelings after it. But definitely, I liked this book. I think to read an analysis about it, in order to better understand the characters.

But it definitely lived up to its purchase

started Cant Hurt Me, couldnt stop reading for a few chapters. has anyone read it through?

[gleaming juniper]

I'm huge fan of French literature lol

The handmaids Tale by margaret atwood!

Dystopian and theological if ur into that

[unreal mica]

Kafka on the Shore, Flowers for Algernon

[unreal mica]

Human Acts (Han Kang) is pretty short, but amazing. Also the Catcher in the Rye is a classic!

[unreal mica]

Oh my god.. A Little Life tore me apart, and I still catch myself thinking about it even though it has been nearly 5 months since I finished that depressing brick of a book

[winter swift]

I am struggling to complete it lol....

[sand charm]

I recommend some Mitch Albom books especially the Tuesdays with Morrie :))

[torpid plinth]

Yee that book destroyed me

[sand charm]

that book really made me cry (and I rarely do when reading books)😭

[torpid plinth]

Definitely I just stumbled upon it and went on a Mitch Albom binge but none of his other works could compete with this one.

[peak frost]

Will check it out, thank you!

Did any of you read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller?

[bronze fjord]

Started reading few hours ago.. now cannot stop reading it 😄

[ornate barn]

yes! currently reading it

[shut cargo]

About the Book. Greece in the age of Heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia. ... Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows Achilles into war, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they have learned, everything they hold dear.

[shut cargo]

slow down a bit. you are never gonna get to experience it ever again.

hi sorry for late answer ı read it and ıt was so perfect ı definetely recommend and especially you feel depressed currently that book really translate your feelings at least for me

[hybrid tulip]

Thank you for the answer ☺️

[nimble mica]

Why is everybody talking about atomic habits? Is it really good?

[ornate valve]

James constantly recommending this book honestly made me read it, and it was worth it. 😀 Very accurate and practical ideas, easy to read and straight to the point. Bonus point: Clean methodology; I really liked the teacher-like recap at the end of every chapter, so you can come back to the core ideas.

Aand it's not very big of a book (haha I know sometimes people can be put off by that so..)

[umbral lintel]

This is also a good book to read. Happy reading 📚😊

Hi

[hard berry]

I'm having difficulty navigating this website because the categories are so arbitrary :/
Do you have any pointers wrt that?

Ah. So it's more like going through a bookstore and pick out multiple books you wanna read
Rather than looking for one specific book👉👈

Thank you for your help 😌

[hot lintel]

Has anyone read The Count of Monte Cristo?

Ah same here. Plus I saw a little bit of the production (musical) and I really want to read it

[subtle prairie]

yeah! i've read it i guess 2years ago in french and it was worth it

[hot lintel]

Oh my goodness! In French, the talenttttt

[subtle prairie]

😅well since french is my second language, i don't think it's a talent👉👈

[hot lintel]

Aw it's still great that you managed to get through it!!

Plus my French classes always did the basics: Les Mis, The Hunchback of Notre Dame

[subtle prairie]

I'm a fan of the hunchback of Notre Dame💜but not really for les Misérables

yet, i still love Marc Levy's books more

[hot lintel]

Haha I'm almost the opposite but I love both because I do be a bit of a theatre geek :>

hahaha oh my gosh that must've been a wild ride lol

Any Iliad fans?
