[surreal oyster]

[hot lintel]

I have 3 books coming in tomorrow 🥺 I’m so excited

I can rest easy knowing that lol

[vast willow]

If you like Marc Levy’s books have you tried Musso’s one, they quite write the same and I have a few to recommend you if you like these type of books😊

[subtle prairie]

[coral ruin]

Mind for numbers by Barbara Oakley is a great book about studying. It's mainly focused on science, but the advice can be useful in a lot of fields.

[alpine trail]

Can anyone recommend me a book? Something non-fiction. I have Atomic habits and Deep work on my dad's Kindle so I'll be borrowing it later. If there is something for doctors I'd like that too but doesn't have to be.

Plus I have a book credit on my audible

[heady cosmos]

Anyone can recommend me psychology books? But that these were not empty words, but statistics and research data.

[halcyon folio]

selam

[gleaming juniper]

Hi

[subtle prairie]

hey

[vague bison]

Can someone recommend me books on english literature most likely short poems with deep meaning?

[hot lintel]

Frankenstein is actually a very nice/existential/emotional book

[autumn pewter]

if you want you can read Edgar Allan Poe's books they are very interesting (the fall of the house of Usher) I really recommend this one 🙂

[hot lintel]

The Waves by Virginia Woolf gets pretty poetic as well

[ornate valve]

For classic poetry, I would say Blake, Sylvia Plath and the one and only Coleridge (so deep he was known to be on drugs to write hehe)

[wooden lynx]

Hey can you recommend me computer science books for beginners

[ashen nest]

Hey could someone recommend me a good non fiction book (i like things like psychology, self-improvement and nutrition but it doesn't have to be about those things since i like trying new things)? it'd be nice if the book isn't too long since i already have to read 3 books for different classes 🙂

[hot lintel]

The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. I haven't read it myself but I do have the audiobook and I hear it's really good with helping you find your inner drive to feel complete in the things that you do

[nova mesa]

!rank

[ashen nest]

[hot lintel]

Oh no worries at all haha 💗

[hollow knot]

heyy does anyone have recommendations on like books about world politics, economy and climate change? i'm looking to widen my knowledge about these topics

[hot lintel]

There are so many books to choose from but a few that stick out for me are "The Uninhabitable Earth" by David Wallace-Wells, "The Story of More" by Hope Jahren, and "The Sixth: Extinction" by Elizabeth Kolbert

^ and those are just for climate change haha

[hot lintel]

for politics I haven't been able to read it yet but I hear that "Why Nations Fail" by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson is good

[hollow knot]

omgg thankyou so much, i'll definitely read one of these next

[chilly tinsel]

@ashen nest The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma

[chilly tinsel]

.

And, also The Alchemist by Paulo Choelo

[paper summit]

[autumn pewter]

highly recommended, it's a very interesting book

also 100 years of solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

[crimson ruin]

I'm not too sure if any of you would be interested but some of you may like The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. It's part of a trilogy, that's the first book. Haven't read the second and third yet, but adored the first, so if you're interested you could give it a try(?)

[dark current]

the power of your subconscious mind by dr. joseph murphy is a good one!

[gleaming juniper]

let's just hope i can implement what im reading into my actual life 😫

[eager needle]

you should try Ninth House, it's really good!

[coral ruin]

I have. I really like the book. Though his Physics lecture series might be more useful.

[grave stirrup]

Hey I'm new here! Does anyone know a really good business related book? Please recommend! 💮

[gleaming juniper]

@grave stirrup business is a very broad term.

[grave stirrup]

Fair enough. Something with regards to managerial economics

and marketing maybe

[lost sun]

Hi! does anyone have any recommendations for books about the stock market?

[gleaming juniper]

Um not yet but Six of crows and the Grisha Trilogy!

[gleaming juniper]

lookup psych 101, if you're learning psychology this book teaches you what psychologist researched, but in simple terms.

[heady cosmos]

[coral ruin]

Alex's adventures in numberland by Alex Bellos is a fantastic book for anyone interested in mathematics.

[heady cosmos]

o, I'll add it to my list,I think it will be interesting to read

[coral ruin]

I found it to be super useful and fun at the same time.

Tell me what you thought about it if you do read it.

[heady cosmos]

okkok

[vapid remnant]

ooh neat

Another great math book is a mind for numbers by Barbra Oakley

[agile idol]

Yess I also read the Story of More - it’s so informative

[coral ruin]

I recommended that a few days ago lol

[eager needle]

You should read it surely if you liked her other books! It's a bit different since it's not fantasy but it's a very good book!

[coral ruin]

Does anyone take notes on books? How do you do it?

[rough siren]

i mostly make short notes on post-it notes and stick them in the pages. also page marks ,different colours for different emotions or themes or quotes .

[vapid remnant]

Oh lol. It’s a really great book though

[brazen lily]

Have anyone read the "No man is an Island" by jhon donne? I'm thinking to start english poems by it

[eternal night]

just in case anyone wanted to know, the rights on 1984 by George Orwell have expired in Canada, that means you can read it online for free. heres a link: https://www.gutenberg.ca/ebooks/orwellg-nineteeneightyfour/orwellg-nineteeneightyfour-00-h.html

[gleaming juniper]

It depends on why you are taking notes and what genre it is . I can give you tips from there !

[coral ruin]

Nonfiction, I want to be able to reference what I read without having to go trhrough the actual book.

[gleaming juniper]

Has anyone read "Who Moved My Cheese" By: Spencer Johnson ( If not it is a great book with a great message about change , adapting to change and how change isn't always bad)

[gleaming juniper]

Here are some tips ( If you have any questions or need more tips lmk :]) :
1.) Use post it notes and write key details , vocab and the overall summary of the section or chapter. ( you can also do this wherever you see fit not just after every chapter)
2.) Highlight Important vocab and it's definition (use the same color for vocab if you plan to highlight other info)
3.) Color-code your tabs to correspond to favorite quotes, dialogue that makes you laugh, scenes that make you cry, important info, things that relate to one another etc.
4.)Create a Key and use symbols. Use symbols for favorite quotes (underline), favorite passages (asterisks), confusing passages (question mark), funny dialogue (smiley face), etc. ( you can use whatever symbols for whatever you need to remember those were just examples lol)
5.) Write in the margins! ( or add side notes online) If you resonate with the text , write about it on the side.

[coral ruin]

Thank you

Interesting. I saw someone else using Notion for that too. I don’t like the app much myself, but I might give it another try.

[gleaming juniper]

No problem , I added some other tips to the message lol but if you need more just lmk haha

[gleaming juniper]

I love the book "Who Moved My Cheese" by Spencer Johnson
I like the book "Don't Sweat the small stuff and It's all small stuff " By: Richard Carlson
The 6 minute diary ( is kinda a book but is more a diary that helps with self-improvement and happiness) is something I have been incorporating daily.

( All of these are self help/ improvement books )

I can recommend more if you would like 🙂

[gleaming juniper]

Anyone have any books they recommend reading ( non-fictional or fictional)

[uneven hill]

You can use one note?

[coral ruin]

[teal hollow]

Thank you!

[dark current]

hey guys! i've been wanting to read philosophy for the longest time but it's such a diverse subject, any recommendations about where to begin?

[ornate valve]

That's a very broad subject haha, are there any specific topics you would be more interested in?

[gleaming juniper]

if anyone likes pretty little liars, the book one of us is lying is sooo good

[torpid plinth]

You could perhaps start with an introduction to the history of philosophy if you are not sure which topics or field you're interested to.

[dark current]

ah yes, will do, thank you!

[gleaming juniper]

Yesss one of us is lying is literally my favorite book!!

[vapid remnant]

I loved that one too!

[gleaming juniper]

kharma medic thought me how to

Guys Airport by Arthur hailey is good

[surreal oyster]

I haven’t read the books but i have seen everywhere it’s called Surrounded by psychopaths

The book*

[alpine oriole]

if anyones read 'a clockwork orange', is it a hard read?

[acoustic chasm]

it is not hard to read a little bit irritant but it is very hard to watch i think (very very personal opinion)

[alpine oriole]

ah okay thanks

i need to find a text (book, film, short story etc.) to study and compare with seamus heaney's poetry for my english course

the topic is 'world of upheaval' so basically the composer's context and the subject matter of the text has to be influenced by tribulations and tragedy

if anyone has any recommendations that i could study in a short amount of time, it'd be really helpful

thanks : )

[acoustic chasm]

i see.... Fahrenheit 451 maybe?

it is more distopia i guess but.. you can take a look

it has a movie too

[alpine oriole]

mm yeah that is a good one, ive dabbled around with it before, so maybe i should revisit the novel

thank you for your help : )

[acoustic chasm]

Hey, I need a short story recommendation. The genre doesn’t matter; I read everything.

[wanton verge]

Metamorphosis- Franz Kafka

[coral ruin]

Great choice. I read that one, unfortunately. I also read everything by Poe, but that’s about it. I would like to find new short-story authors to read.

[fallen tusk]

Men without women by murakami? Its a collection of short stories

[coral ruin]

Ooh, thank you very much. I really liked Kafka on the Shore. I had no clue murakami wrote short stories.

[fallen tusk]

Yeah, I don't think he has a lot of short stories maybe just this one and one more ig.

[fallen tusk]

Anyway read this one, its really good. Stuck with me.

[coral ruin]

Thank you.

[uneven hill]

Did someone read "A little life" by Hanya Yanagihara?

[uneven hill]

😳 I want this book for my birthday, I saw many reviews and apparently it's a real masterpiece

I'm used to books like that, going back and forth in the past and in the future, aaaah it's so difficult to finish sad books, idk I got this book that I loved but couldn't finish because it was way too depressing haha (sorry my English is really bad 😞)

Oh thanks ☺️

Bahaha I'm supposed to be good in English since I'll do a degree in English law lmao

🤭 Spicy books are the best tbh

[gleaming juniper]

Fantastic book

murakamis descriptions can often be disturbing

although imo not murakamis best work

[ornate barn]

Have u read his book Norwegian wood? Im about to start it

[low ore]

It's awesome 👍

[gleaming juniper]

oh, its nice seeing a different point of view. I don't know why it never struck like his other books for me. Ill probably re read it again in the future

[gleaming juniper]

I loved that book

i would choose kafka on the shore or noregian wood

Im going to read "cien años de soledad" by Gabriel Garcia

100 years of solitude i think its called in english

Fortunately I have the luxury of reading it in spanish because its my mother toungue

I wish to one day read murakamis work in Japanese

We can only wish JAJAJ

reading a book in its native language is a totally different experience

specially if its a language so different to ours

[bronze fractal]

I tried reading umberto eco when i was 15 and got totally lost haha -- good to know there's a good reason?

[bronze fractal]

"flexing on hsi readers" lmao, i'm gonna take another stab at name of the rose sometime later on! thanks

[ornate valve]

if Umberto Ecco is flexing on his readers, I don't even know what Derrida is doing ^^

[gleaming juniper]

how long are your to-read lists?

[quaint bay]

if anyone knows any good science books pls tell me!!!

[grizzled sleet]

have you read the immortal life of henrietta lacks?

[sacred meadow]

for the more bio/med side, highly recommend anything by siddhartha mukherjee or atul gawande. oliver sacks and simon singh are also v good

[grizzled sleet]

yesss seconding this ^ i just finished emperor of all maladies

[supple oracle]

Can anyone recommend any good philosophy books? I have an interest

[fiery bone]

what kind of topics are you interested in?

[supple oracle]

Im fairly new but i study western philosophy in school and wanted to go more in depth, particularly ethical thought and meta ethics if that helps :/

[fiery bone]

oh neat! i took a course on ethics in college. all of the readings were from western philosophy, fyi. We read a bunch of essays out of "Ethical Theory: An Anthology" edited by Russ Shafer-Landau. That has selections from a bunch of classic works (by JS Mill, Kant, Aristotle, etc.), plus a lot of modern essays. I'm no expert but I think that would be a great place to start & branch out from!

looks like its around $30 used on Amazon for the latest edition.

[past relic]

Selamm

[rocky violet]

how intresting. I really want to study ethic in collage but in my country there are no such department
I will try to read this book but im not sure if my english is that good

[quaint bay]

i have not

[quaint bay]

thank you!!! will check that out

[cosmic ore]

i just got on the genealogy of morals by nietzche which is very good! i think a better place to start thought is one of those books that contain many works of many philosophers like Kant etc so ill probably get that too

if anyone is doing law/interested in it do you have any book or even podcast recommendations? I'm just reading secret barrister right now

[supple oracle]

Wow thanks! Im familiar with the works of aristotle and etc so this would be great

[supple oracle]

Works like the apology of socrates and crime and punishment are some works i found that concern a part of ethics, cheap too on amazon for £5-£10

[plush kayak]

i'm studying law and i'm interested in books on this subject too. are you enjoying the book so far?

[wicked crescent]

Byeee gud nyt

[smoky locust]

Anyone know good history books?

[gleaming juniper]

try harari

[rapid bluff]

oo crime and punishment by dostoevesky is a good book i suppose
a friend of mine whos studying law rn said his teacher recommends it to her students

[cosmic ore]

yes the secret barrister book is really good it's my first law related book

[still bear]

Hey I'd like to get into nutrition. I already know a few things by watching documentaries and Youtube but I'd be cool to have a short book to get to know the basics

[hollow pasture]

I second this! I've happened upon books that either go in too much detail or too little, I'd love to get my hands on something that works for a beginner...

Does any of you have 12 rules for life by Peterson ?

[rapid zephyr]

its cool men find the link of books at the top

[topaz sand]

[rapid zephyr]

[topaz sand]

Alright thanks mate

[fiery talon]

Guys can someone here tell me how can I get into book reading while managing my studies as I have lots of syllabus to study. Any help would be highly appreciated.

[ashen nest]

tbh it was quiet hard for me to manage that as well. I'd try to start by reading 1 page a day and if you got that for a period of time you'll read 2 pages, then 3 and so on, it'll become a habit then. It's ok to not read 30min a day 5 min are great too! It's good to not overdo it from the start because if you set yourself an easy target it'll be easier to mentain the behavior you want to accomplish. I made it my habit to read a few pages before I got to sleep. Idk if trying that will help you manage the time problem. (kinda hope i didnt f up with this awnser, english isn't my first language:))

[swift fox]

make the time for them

[gleaming juniper]

nice book sjsjs

do you want more murakami or other authors?

[crimson mountain]

both i guess

[frozen axle]

Hey guys I heard about the studying room can someone tell me where can I find it?

[fiery talon]

Okay, thanks will try to follow these tips

Thank you as well

[chilly apex]

[high atlas]

been reading The Glass Castle

can say American way of living is hard

[fiery talon]

Which is better for reading, digital readers such as kindle or hard copy of the books?

[fallen pine]

i prefer e-books, you can carry any book anywhere and it is physically easier to read

though i agree, holding a hard copy feels nicer, especially if it has the book smell ahahhaha

[gleaming juniper]

yeah i love e books but seeing your book collection grow visually is also a nice feeling

[gleaming juniper]

I see, thank you!

what are you specifically trying to get advice for? I’ve read a lot. I’ll rec u some based on what u r looking for.

[coral ruin]

Hi, does anyone know some good books about American history?

[pallid zodiac]

uhm I have some recs from my history class: A narrative of a revolutionary soldier by Joseph Plumb Martin, Meet you in hell (it’s about the relationship b/w Andrew Carnegie and Clay Frick during the second industrial rev), I’m currently reading the promised land by Nicholas Lemann (for history).

[pallid zodiac]

@coral ruin ^

[coral ruin]

Thanks. I’ll check them out.

[half gull]

whats it about?

[oblique horizon]

I'm still in the beginning, but apparently a guy came from another planet and then the earth is going to be destroyed etc but it is very cynical and funny too

[next spruce]

Guys I recommend you to read make it stick by Peter C. Brown. The book teaches you how to study for anything

[pallid zodiac]

np : )

[fiery sinew]

basically just ways to study more efficiently

[pallid zodiac]

well one was just recommended above called “Make it stick” by Peter C. Brown. But I would highly rec the ones James listed: Deep work by Cal Newport & Atomic Habits by James Clear. My personal ones (not really study related but more about setting habits for it) The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom By Don Miguel Ruiz, and Into the Magic Shop by James R. Doty

[pallid zodiac]

@fiery sinew ^

[low ore]

Has anyone got any recs for criminal documentary kinda books?

[chilly apex]

hey guys... i started reading 12 rules for life... is someone reading too?

[random lotus]

hi

[zenith jungle]

I'd recommend the crime junkie podcasts (they're really good, but some cases they talk about are still unsolved so it might seem anticlimactic at times) as for books on truecrime idrk any, I usually pick up mystery thrillers, fiction ofc (Agatha Christie's books are good)

[gleaming juniper]

.

[low ore]

Aitee I'll check it out thankzz

[low ore]

😊

[half gull]

ohh i read the first few chapters 2 years ago and havent gone back to i t

Hey did anyone read this till now??

[candid cradle]

i haven't but i rmb watching a booktuber talking about it

[gleaming juniper]

any books that I can read for improving my mental health? a bit in a bad place right now

haven't read anything since january also

[pallid zodiac]

my fave was probably, into the magic shop by James R. Doty. It’s about looking into yourself. It teaches you how to nurture and love yourself for who you are despite that faults you have in life. It teaches you how to find comfort inside yourself. @gleaming juniper

[grave cove]

I second this! crime junkie podcast is the BEST

[naive thistle]

Has anyone read The Dark Room by R.K Narayan?

[gleaming juniper]

have you seen any of the diagrams from his earlier book Maps of Meaning? they're all completely nonsensical and off the wall

[ebon gate]

LOL i mean once he started using lobsters....

[gleaming juniper]

Does someone know an English book - B2 ? But not a love story pls

[deft forge]

Any book recommendation for startup?

[half gull]

whats a softcopy?

[coral ruin]

If James Joyce was alive today, he would be a discord moderator.

[half gull]

he references this book a bit in his lectures but ive never checked it before

[half gull]

lol how so?

[coral ruin]

The way he would slide into his beloved’s dms (via letters, obviously) is very mod-like. Let me give you some examples:

"My darling little convent-girl"
"My proud blue-eyed queen"
"My little wild-flower of the hedges"
"My dirty little fuc*bird"

[half gull]

your comparison made me chuckle despite my scarce knowledge of his books. well done 😆 @coral ruin

[coral ruin]

I’m glad you liked my joke.

[coral ruin]

By the way, if you are even a little bit interested in reading some of his work, I would urge you to read Dubliners. It’s the best introduction to James Joyce, I believe.

[gleaming juniper]

its a lot of stuff like

(this isnt a parody btw)

also i would suggest you have a look at some of his old stuff from a community tv station, a lot of it is him saying incel-y stuff while wearing a trench coat and fedora (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeL-Fn0V8iU for example)

(sorry for posting so much stuff about jordan peterson/not about books)

[ornate valve]

haha it seems wild! I only recently discovered the classes he posted online and so far the content seems really interesting

[gleaming juniper]

so although he's very established in academic psychology, most of what he's famous for is this sort of self-help/political/mythological stuff, and because he's not so qualified in that, i'd just be careful about what he says (so on this point, he debated this political philosopher called slavoj zizek. a lot of jordan peterson's worldview revolves around the idea of these "post-modern neo-marxists" who are trying to destroy the west or something, and when his opponent zizek challenged him to name even one he wasn't able to)

[ornate valve]

Oh sure, the fact that some of his ideas are well thought and interesting doesn't mean that I agree with everything he says (and I don't); i'm always cautious about not having too much external jugement before I have my own

The classes that seemed the most interesting are around personnality, and maybe those concerning biblical reading

[half gull]

He seems like he truly cares, his passion itself seems like its driving people to "fix" their lives according to his advice.

[gleaming juniper]

oh yeah fair enough haha, he's made some quite well-known blunders in them like claiming that in some art from around the world of snakes that it's depicting DNA through some sort of ancient mysticism

what he didnt realise was the pictures represent them mating and he just imposed the idea of it being dna because ... ? just because

[ornate valve]

whaa ok ok haha i need to dig more about this guy hahaha

[coral ruin]

Does anyone know any good books about slavic mythology?

[zenith jungle]

the electronic version of the book (e-book)

[gleaming juniper]

ive heard bordiga's quite good ... but ive also heard gramsci is very good especially with his reading of machiavelli, but then apparently the two are opposed in terms of their positions (although ive read only a little of gramsci and none of bordiga so i cant really say) ... would you say their works are at odds?

[sharp oriole]

If anyone’s into romance novels I recommend the author Caroline fyffe

[zenith jungle]

have you read my lady Jane? I recently read it (was in the mood for a light book lol) it's a breezy read, quite funny and has a lil romance too [but it definitely goes way offtrack from the actual historical aspects]

seemed quite similar to fyffe's style

[sharp oriole]

No I haven’t read it. But thanks for the recommendation

[low ore]

Noted☺️

[tight tartan]

watch his personality lectures, they are so good. the ones from 2017 are better because its full body camera. something about learning psychology naturally makes you feel better/do better.

I've been meaning to read 12 rules for life but I am not a big fan of the biblical stories lol

[final onyx]

WTF

[zenith jungle]

did anyone else find the beginning of the book deep work difficult to get past and a lil drab? I've been trying to read past all the tech-centric examples without being able to relate to them, does the writing get more diverse?

[ornate valve]

omg my feelings exactly! I can't seem to bring myself to enjoy it (i am only at the begining too), the writing style is so dry and quite frankly dull... I too hope it gets better ^^

[tight tartan]

it doesn't loll

[gleaming juniper]

stanford encyclopedia of philosophy is usually very good: https://plato.stanford.edu/ but i dont know about any specific books sorry

[gleaming juniper]

It will be better if u could specify whether those economic terms and stuffs is any specific Country based or just general, so that others can understand u buddy

it's mainly US-centric

cool

[gleaming juniper]

From what I've read so far (33% in), I approve of this one

very well written

highly recommended for those looking for a well paced dark historical fiction

Is 48 laws of power good ? and what are ur personal thoughts about it ?

[molten jetty]

Has anyone read "Lord of the flies" by William Golding?

[molten jetty]

I started reading it. It seems cool but I will tell you in the future!

[merry latch]

i have !! i read it as a school assignment

[gleaming juniper]

That book is a little too grim for my liking xD

[merry latch]

i personally didn’t like it but it does make you reflect about society

[gleaming juniper]

or the lack of it once stuff starts going wrong xD

[molten jetty]

Wow thank you! I mean, I'm trying to read it but I really can't get over the first chapter. Does is have a better development going through the pages?

[gleaming juniper]

oh 100%

It gets better the more you read it

[merry latch]

yeah, i have to agree with that

the first chapters aren’t too great but there’s a good development

[gleaming juniper]

Do you guys prefer hardcover books or books on lets say something like a kindle or ipad

Kindle books for sure

not as heavy to carry around

hardcovers are a pain to hold

Alright, anything else? I'm just doing a survey for class

Yeah hardcovers are definitely difficult to carry around everyday.

When you read outside like I do, carrying an actual book becomes cumbersome

a light ipad or kindle tablet becomes much more practical

Alright, thanks for the advice/response. I'm thinking about picking up a kindle tablet sometime in the near future.

If you need book recommendation, I got ya xD

reading one a week atm

Nice! Do you have the kindle unlimited?

Never went for Kindle Unlimited actually

i'm not exactly too sure what books you get access to with it

[gleaming juniper]

Okay, well. If you could send me a message on a few book recommendations I'll check them out! 🙂

[gleaming juniper]

Depends on the kind of genre you like

I read a wide range of book genres

I like self-help books a lot.

Do you read fiction at all?

Although, world war 2 books sound interesting. Um hmm

Realistic fiction

alright, I got you. Let me find some of the books on my goodreads account

Alright, thank you so much Alexis. 😁 I'll be on in an hour. It's time to go exercise for the day.

Kk, I have class soon but i'll tag you with the book recommendations 🙂

Oh! What do you think about the Ads-Supported vs no ads? No ads is more expensive but do you know if the ads are bad?

Get the no ads

ads do be a pain

Okay thanks

[fiery knot]

I started reading this for my thesis on healthcare inequality
It's actually really good.
It looks at how low income limits your access to healthcare and creates a cycle of poverty. (I'm american but in the UK, even the government funded healthcare here is unequal)
Definitely check it out if you have a chance!

[finite phoenix]

Hey, guys, what is this chat about?

[hollow abyss]

as u can see its a book club

[finite phoenix]

lol I just want to know if you recommend books in here, read together or just show each other what you are reading

[hollow abyss]

yeah we just show each other what we are reading

I dont think there is a translated version of this book into english

[uneven hill]

What is that? It looks terrifying

[gleaming juniper]

This is what I am right now. Just started today 🙂

[winter swift]

I recently read Uzumaki by Junji Ito . Has anyone read it?

[gleaming juniper]

@winter swift Wayyy to scared to read it xD

mostly because of the gross, uncomfortable imagery 😫

[winter swift]

Yeah especially in vol 2. The graphic designs were horrifying and the concept of the comic is very creepy

[gleaming juniper]

The reason why I read books is to avoid 'seeing' the images on paper

you couldn't get me to read horror manga xD

[hollow abyss]

No, it's not like that..It talks about the dark internet and the facts that you will find there are some shocking facts, but it is worth reading

i found the translated version of it in amazon store u can buy it from there

[winter swift]

😆 That was my first horror manga and I am actually looking forward to read more horror and mystery mangas!

[gleaming juniper]

I've got some great recommendations for you if you'd like some

[winter swift]

Yes please!

[muted fractal]

Hi has anyone read claudia gray's firebird series

[arctic surge]

No

Hey anybody have read the 5 am club

[raven nymph]

whats that about?

[low zinc]

I've just finished "They both die at the end", 10/10 cried like a baby

[odd nimbus]

did they both die at the end

[ornate valve]

guess we all die in the end.

[summer notch]

[cerulean island]

Eat as many pizza as you can before that happens

[dry wren]

Indeed

Hi!

[low zinc]

yeah

[knotty tide]

Our body dies, our soul remains for eternity. :3

[winter swift]

Oh wow. I read that book a few months back. Had very high expectations but I didn't cry nor felt any emotion. I am not heartless though lol

[low zinc]

i do understand that though, the storyline was a bit predictable, i just cry very easily lol

[winter swift]

Hey can you please recommend me some?

[cerulean island]

Yeah me

[jovial pike]

yeah i read it a long time ago! its a fun manga

[arctic surge]

Grit

[candid cradle]

omg i jj read aristotle and dante and i wanted to read that

[candid cradle]

love the art but it wasnt scary?

[winter swift]

It was not scary, but it was creepy because of the artwork esp in vol 2, that pregnant women scene lol

[idle pawn]

Who is jimmy? On whose name this group is..

[candid cradle]

james i think

[candid cradle]

it was vv cool

[winter swift]

James Scholz

[idle pawn]

Ohkay nice...

Well i am also an avid reader. I even have a bookstagram page, so will try to post here regularly!!

[molten jetty]

I'm reading it. It seems pretty useless to be honest

[golden violet]

@leaden marlin

[valid parcel]

hii readersss

[frail harness]

@everyone

[dark cedar]

what's your ID?

[idle pawn]

@gisstudreading

[dark cedar]

nice page

[idle pawn]

Thanks dude😁

[eternal nest]

Hii readers

What are you reading those days?

@everyone

[tight tartan]

Finished "when breath becomes air", cried while reading the epilogue lol, I'm thinking of an Albert Camus book next, not sure

[chilly apex]

Reading Outliers from Malcolm Gladwell!

[idle pawn]

I am reading Atomic Habits (courtesy James) and Rebecca

[idle pawn]

Ohh nice, when breath becomes air is on my tbr too!

[tight tartan]

It's a really good book, helped me develop this reading habit hahah, enjoyy

just can be difficult to put into practice because getting rid of bad habits is really hard

[idle pawn]

Yes I have been thinking how to effectively put it into practice. Though i am only at the passive reading stage, so in good time!

[knotty plover]

If you're into mythology, give the Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series a try..... I'm sure you won't be disappointed

[zenith jungle]

oh god same, just finished it last week, been having an existencial crisis ever since

[tight tartan]

Me too. 😆 , it kind of ruined my sleep the day I finished it. I'm not sure how exactly to draw inspiration from the story. but it kind of gives you a bit of clarity on whats important

[zenith jungle]

kind of yes, it's just hard to see the smaller details when you know in the grand scheme of things we're just tryna divert from the fact that we all dying slowly but surely (i think i learnt the wrong lesson lol) and this book def implanted that thought in the forefront so that's that

[tight tartan]

lmao thats the nihilistic sense I got at first too. but Paul didn't try to divert death as most patients would, instead he had much more focus post cancer than he ever did in his life. I think the big idea is "Do not go gentle into the goodnight", you know, like the poem. Embrace death. It's a recurring theme in the books I am reading. Although yes, I can't really come to terms with it as I have an ongoing existential crisis

Thats why I wanna read Albert Camus, its a bit scary but he is regarded as one of the important writers when it comes to nihilistic existentialism.

I feel like he will only strengthen my existential crisis

[zenith jungle]

yep definitely

[zenith jungle]

i want to read flowers for algernon next lol, the neuroscience part of the prev book got me curious, although flowers for algernon is sci-fi

[tight tartan]

Looks interesting. I'll add it to my list.

[radiant ore]

The 5 Am club book by Robin sharma is also a good read

[covert leaf]

it surely is completed it recently

[spring echo]

Has anyone read war of art or turning pro by steven pressfield?

[gleaming juniper]

I think It is so good book , you should read it!..

[zenith jungle]

on it, just finished acosf (mixed feelings there)

[gleaming juniper]

I see :)

[minor kraken]

It’s been on my to read list since I read the first few pages free on google play books lol I have the physical copy just never got arnd to it yet

That makes me excited to read it tho also I know this a late reply :/

[winter swift]

can someone recommend me some spooky or crime podcasts?

[zenith jungle]

i presume you've already listened to crime junkie, if not check it out

i've heard that 'something was wrong' is also a good one but i haven't listened to it myself

[lime locust]

I've read war of art, it's great! I read a chapter of it when I need motivation lol

[spring echo]

When he talks abt living shadow life its as if he was describing my life. A big void in there which i dont know how to fill

[lime locust]

So true. Is turning pro worth a read too? Never actually heard of his other books

[spring echo]

Its a small book and same theme. I have actually read turning pro first and war of art half only

[tight tartan]

haha its okaay, its really good. get to it.

[winter swift]

Thanks I’ll check that out. I am new to horror and spooky podcasts

[quartz heron]

Have anyone read the Alchemist

[zenith jungle]

a very long time ago but never understood the hype around it

[idle pawn]

Yeah me too. My father loves it but I think I dont have the wisdom to understand it 😃

[urban forge]

i read it when i was 14/15 and i didnt enjoy it, maybe i was too young to get the message...

[zenith jungle]

lol that might be it for me as well

[lethal apex]

i read it a while ago and i really liked it. suspend your disbelief in some parts of it and accept that its also sort of a self help book (which is why i think a lot of people hate it - it's good for your continuous development of personal philosophy and beliefs about the world) there's some obvious problems in it too as there are with so many other kinds of books, its cliche in parts, and by virtue of probably reading it in translation i think some of the intent is probably lost, but i had a lot of fun w it when i read it a few years ago o/

[halcyon knoll]

Same

[ember escarp]

have you read the stranger of camus? I loved it

[ember escarp]

yeah. It seemed to me weird. The way he "mixed" up elements of the different religions was somehow confusing. But I can say it opened my mind. I had to read it

[high trench]

the alchemist

[tight tartan]

I just started, I really like it so far. not quite what I expected lol, but i'm glad you brought it up, never heard anyone speak on it. a bit hyped to get back to it

funny thing is i actually saw the book last year in a bojack horseman episode😆

[ember escarp]

Τo be honest it's the only book of Camus I've read. I just found it at home, calling me to "eat" it🪱

[tiny mural]

recommend me a book (i like murakami and dan brown so something based on their style)

[gleaming juniper]

götür beni gittiğin yere

[obtuse wren]

try adam fawer's books

[mortal turret]

Anything similar to Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human

and Notes from the Underground by Dostoyevsky

[golden mesa]

does anybody know what timer James Scholz uses?

[gleaming juniper]

I'm 20, and just read it. It was great. Good when you're entering a new life stage.

[zenith jungle]

just finished flowers for algernon, I don't think I'll ever recover from this book

[idle pawn]

Yes. I think I will wait some years until I pick it up again..

[drowsy shadow]

has anyone read black chalk?

[winter elk]

indeed it is a heartbreaker. very touching read about intellectual disability

[lofty heart]

has anyone read 3 women?

[prisma crest]

Any read the deep?

[gleaming juniper]

I love Dostoevsky 😌

[red marlin]

Косово је србиај

[knotty tide]

Re-designing my bookshelf :3

[outer topaz]

doggy is so cute

[knotty tide]

Another doggo says hello. 👋🏻

[outer topaz]

aww

[ornate valve]

found it 🙂

haha no problem, I saw you struggle yesterday (or the day before i don't remember) and I found the answer after the stream 🙂

[quiet fossil]

Yeah

[indigo pulsar]

But still the boy answered:
-I love you because I had a dream, then I met a king, sold crystals, crossed the desert, the tribes went to war, and I came to a well to find out where an alchemist is sitting.

I love you because the whole Universe has cooperated to reach you.

                                                            - The Alchemist, Paulo Ceolho, Page 140

[gleaming juniper]

Çok ilham verici(it is so inspiring) :)

[tight tartan]

Cute shelf "Skullcrusher"😆

[knotty tide]

I improved it by a bit.

Anyone has any suggestions on Adult, romance, thriller books?

[zenith jungle]

for thrillers i'd recommend Dan Brown's books (except digital fortress, that one turned out to be disappointing) you could pick up angels and demons first

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is also brilliant

[knotty tide]

Is Gone Girl similar to The Girl on the Train?

Thank you. I will get a Dan Brown's book. Origin sounds cool. I have read The Da Vinci Code and have a copy of it.

[zenith jungle]

i haven't read the latter

[zenith jungle]

oooh yeah i see it now xD

cute bookshelf btw!

[gleaming juniper]

Stephen king and Agatha Christie

[boreal anchor]

@nova lava

ask here 🙂

[knotty tide]

Ordered the shining from Stephen King. Agatha any good? (I read arthur Conan doyle books, so I suppose the mystery genre is similar)

[nova lava]

can anyone suggest me a good book where i can find the cellular respiration fully explained

[idle pawn]

Agatha christie is better and simpler than sherlock

[idle pawn]

It is quite similar. Both deal with women and women perspectives. But gone girl has larger twists and the girl on the train was a little difficult to follow, atleast for me

[knotty tide]

Interesting perspective. Thank you for letting me know. 🙌🏻

[zenith jungle]

if you're trying to learn that concept through textbooks it might feel tedious, you could instead watch lectures from certain youtube channels and make notes for later reference (i used this method for dealing with that chapter) i've linked some through a dm, hope it helps!

[limber star]

Hello, has anyone read Norwegian wood by murakami?

[uneven canyon]

no

[boreal anchor]

no

[gleaming juniper]

yes! great book

[haughty kelp]

hello! has anyonr read 'the war of art' by steven pressfield?

[little mirage]

no but what´s it about?

[haughty kelp]

it's a self-help book about overcoming procrastination (what the author calls 'resistance') mostly for artists and creative people, but i think it can be useful for everyone, it's quite short to read, i highly recommend it! 💪

[outer topaz]

[smoky locust]

Dose anyone have any sad books to recommend ?

[storm lintel]

I heard “a little life” is incredibly sad and has traumatized some people that have read it lol

[hardy summit]

i read it during the pandemic

it was not the smartest thing to do

it is incredible sad

[smoky locust]

Oh okay I’ll read it, it seems interesting I hope I don’t get traumatized 😥 thanks for the recommendation

[cosmic epoch]

there's this novella called pinjar by Amrita Pritam, it was originally written in hindi but the english translation is really good as well, oo train to pakistan is also a sad book/novella

[tiny mural]

i did!

[limber star]

@tiny mural how's it ?

[tiny mural]

murakami definitely has an unique style, its a bit strange but inna good wai. after reading that one (my first murakamis book) i continued reading his work. would recommend 10/10

[limber star]

@tiny mural okay thankyou :3

[tiny mural]

anyone read the shining by stephen king

[hardy summit]

noo because its hard for me to read books thar i have already seen the movie

even thou book are better thar the movies

i already know what is gonna happend

[idle thistle]

I have read the hindi version!
It's honestly beautiful

[molten jetty]

Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold

[ripe pine]

last day of a death row, by Victor Hugo

[carmine fern]

Can't recommend it enough!

[scarlet wyvern]

late to the convo, but for sad books, I recommend 'Still Alice' by Lisa Genova

[idle pawn]

I personally did not like Lovely Bones, so i did not complete it yet.

[scarlet wyvern]

it takes you through the protagonist's journey in grappling with early onset Alzheimer's without feeling voyeuristic about it. The author worked with and interviewed with other patients of the disease to ensure her novel's accuracy and respectfulness to their condition and personhood

[versed shale]

Stefan Zweig 👑

[pallid zodiac]

anyone read The Song of the Achilles by Madeline Miller? I heard it was amazing. Wanted a quick review on it before I purchase it. I was also warned to have a box of tissues beside me if I had the chance to get the book : )

[dawn grail]

oh wow that's the book I'm reading right now

[pallid zodiac]

how ‘s it so far?

[dawn grail]

I'm only on chapter 2 😅

[pallid zodiac]

yeah, I heard amazing things about it! ESPECIALLY the ending

[dawn grail]

yessss!!

[pallid zodiac]

already? I’ll go see if my local store has it. It’s rare for a book to be interesting at the beginning. I usually sleep through the first 80 pgs of any book b4 it gets exciting

@dawn grail thanks for the comment btw! happy reading : D

[dawn grail]

[pallid zodiac]

Ok! I’ll have you bookmarked for later!

[gleaming juniper]

Hmm adventure ???? Jjkxfj idk

Assume I’m a blank slate

[dawn grail]

faiirrrr. ok well considering the Shadow and Bone tv show is coming out tomorrow, my first thought goes to that or Six of Crows! I loveddddd six of crows but I havent read shadow and bone yet

[zenith jungle]

oh definitely! the six of crows duology is amazing, the writing is beautiful, the world building is on point and the characters are pretty diverse
