https://youtu.be/hGJNWJY9vF0

[hot flame]

that scared me more than any horror movie ever did

[nimble pivot]

Does anybody have a recommendation for mystery and romance books? Any of your favorites?

[unborn gale]

I think it’s a classic but Jane Austen’s romance books are very good.

And for mystery Agatha Christie’s books are good too.

[unborn gale]

I finished it yesterday and I think it was soooo good

Idk how to say my reaction to book without any spoiler lol but it was good,thanks .

Now I will start to 11/22/63 I’m so excited about it

[muted pollen]

Heyyyy. Long time coming... can anyone please be kind enough to let me know where the book club is at the moment? I lost track and can't seem to keep up

[honest egret]

Perfect✨👌🏻

[waxen nymph]

im currently reading sputnik sweetheart by the same author, i can't really say wether its good or bad coz i havent finished 😆 but overall atm its good.

[hot flame]

haven't read that one. judging by the book cover. i think its romance

[wide goblet]

Hi! I highly suggest you to read Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage , it's a personal favourite of mine among Murakami's works :)

[hot flame]

Ok 😊

[agile kayak]

omg... it's an amazing book

i loved it sm

[wide goblet]

Ikr? I think it's so underrated

About Kafka on the shore ... I'm not sure, I love Murakami's writing but it was too allegorical even for him

But that's just my personal opinion of course!

[agile kayak]

i did not finish kafka on the shore so i can't give a proper opinion on it but colorless tsukuru tazaki was really good

[true elm]

[true elm]

Oh yeah. This sounds like an amazing idea. I am pretty sure @stable ocean can do something about this.

[stable ocean]

what book are you guys doing rn?

[sonic citrus]

can someone repeat the james book list order

pls

[stable ocean]

not sure, i can always try but i wouldn't be too confident haha

[true elm]

Not sure about this week(Will probably think one by midnight). The last one was "How to win friends and influence people" and before that "Deep Work".

[stable ocean]

do you guys finish a book or is it a different book every week

[true elm]

It's like every monday a book will be posted and its respective pdf copy on #book-club-calendar . And on every Sunday, the summary of that particular book will be read.

[stable ocean]

ohh okay

[rough plaza]

hello, so I’ve been wondering, is the club still reading a book right now? Cuz I’ve entered and can’t hear anybody talking

[clear quartz]

it is done

[rough plaza]

Right, thanks for telling me, cuz I’ve been questioning my sound setting xD

[static helm]

ohhh how do i participate? i love book clubs

did you guys read atomic habits?

[hot flame]

in what genres can 1984 be included excluding fiction

[mystic seal]

hmm i’d say thought provoking

[hot flame]

books like Fahrenheit 451, 1984, brave new world, have a common genre right. i forgot what the name of genre, honestly i dont know if its genre at all. i think it was a phrase...

something like post apocalyptic...

[alpine dove]

Dystopian

[hot flame]

oh yes thats the word. thanx! @alpine dove

[ancient trench]

The book, attitude is everything, is ass.

[real raft]

Its has good ratings on Kindle

I started reading a book, thought of developing some habits... But it's getting boring after reading 5 pages!

[ancient trench]

I’m on page 80

It’s just no, I don’t agree with it

[real raft]

Am not reading that book

[ancient trench]

Oh aight

[real raft]

This one

[ancient trench]

Hmmmmm

[bronze kettle]

Hi, I was thinking about joining you all in this book club, but are you only gonna read self-help books?

[hot flame]

i think he tried reading fictions, but people got bored, and its just summaries. knowing summaries of novels isnt... its all about those words that immerse us

[faint epoch]

Prüfungstraining Goethe-Zertifikat A2
does anyone have this pdf. please can u share. i have exams in a week

[hot flame]

There are some sites mentioned in the pin section. Check it@faint epoch

[unique vale]

@faint epoch (the pin section in the #845877644599361576 channel :) )

[bronze kettle]

Oh that sucks, it makes sense I guess, summaries are good for self-help books but there's no point on reading a summary of a literary work.

[muted pollen]

Even in Self-Help books it depends, the thing is, when you read the whole thing, you get to relate to things that could not be achieved while reading just the summary of something. Reading the whole book provides invaluable advice that cannot be utilized to their fullest extent only by reading their summaries. But it's just me. Don't believe me.

[ancient trench]

What if I am already omniscient.

[bronze kettle]

Maybe? Plato said that nothing is ever learned, just remembered.

[ancient trench]

I say Plato was a crackhead

really be comparing me to a mortal? bruh

[chrome saffron]

is samsung s6 lite tab good for book reading im thinking to get one for reading and note making for school

[hot flame]

so the word learn is useless

[potent bridge]

hey all

[muted pollen]

hey

[autumn rivet]

Should I invest time in Dune?

Heard it's pretty good

[remote remnant]

i would say yes

the movie is great and now i’m on part 2 of the book and it’s been really good so far

is the book for this week book club good?

i’m not quite interested in the topic of attitude but well i’ll give it a try if it’s good

[muted pollen]

[compact verge]

On James' Goodreads, why are the number and star rating pretty different?

[slow solstice]

aah i missed it 😭

[true elm]

The numerical 3.69 and 3.93 are the average rating of the particular books overall by everyone.

[coral mountain]

lol i felt bad for finding lord of the flies hard to get through..

the great gatsby has the same writing style.. too verbose... but i actually liked lotf because the last 40-50 pages are a shift and make it worth it.. for the great gatsby i had seen the movie so perhaps that dulled the experience

[high wraith]

.

[lethal harness]

Hey, where do you guys discuss about books with tour conoces? or don't you hace anything like that here?

[muted pollen]

Hello

Could anyone suggest me some books about losing pet?

[compact verge]

Try searching for books related to Stoicism, "How to be stoic" by Massimo Pagliucci for a modern book and Enchirdion for a primary text. Good Luck.

[hot flame]

How can we find out if our ikigai is actually ours, and is not influenced/ conditioned by the environment we live in? @true elm

[balmy arrow]

which book we will discuss in the next session?

[hollow narwhal]

Experimentation has to be there right? That's what scares me the most! Great answer tho, thankyou @true elm

[teal ice]

thank you skullcrusher :)

[true elm]

Thank you phil and everyone else for hoping by. :))

[hollow narwhal]

You wake up everyday and try despite feeling low, don't you think is an achievement in itself? And don't be scared, everything in our lives happens for a reason, with a motive to teach us something. Just remind youself what actions of yours led you to that particular situation, you don't wanna get into again. It was a phase to teach you something, to make you stronger, and now its over. And it didn't leave you the way you were before, right? You got this! Just keep going, keep experimenting, your ikigai will find you very soon. @muted pollen

[muted pollen]

Yeah I'm much better now i feel happy and excited about things like i used to be and i learned a lot of things from my experience now I'm trying to fix the things that i didn't care about for so long like health and studies

Also it's my birthday today i really appreciate your message

[rose rivet]

"To procure friendship only for better and not for worse is to rob it of all its dignity"

• Seneca (Letters from a Stoic)

[muted pollen]

I can't comprehend this holy knowledge 😶

[bronze kettle]

basically, treat your friends as an end, not as a means

[robust hatch]

it's also like any relationship, it is not valuable if you are only there for eachother in good times, and not in bad ones as well

hence robbing that relation from its dignity

[wary frost]

I'm trying to increase my reading speed, I find myself subvocalizing words, if someone around here is a fast reader....how do you make it stop?

[lime peak]

You can try setting a specific goal for yourself, such as reading one chapter or 10 pages per day, and then slowly increase your speed as you feel more comfortable. At a certain point, the subvocalisation shall disappear naturally I think

[robust hatch]

practice practice practice, also try to "dezoom" and focus on the whole sentence rather than each and every word, or even begining with groups of words (especially if you read in your mother tongue, i guess it's harder for your second/ other languages)

[wary frost]

yeah, it is mostly in second language actually....

[robust hatch]

that's why

i'm ultra slow at reading in english haha

[wary frost]

but I'll try that what you said , thank you bonbon!

[robust hatch]

also like, i do prefer reading slowly and understanding / remembering what i read vs reading fast and not grasping the interesting details so...
quality over quantity hehe

[spice abyss]

As a writer, would you rather use your real name or a pen name, and why?

Personally, I think I’d use a pen name. My real name is uncommon, but at the same time, I value my privacy. If I wanted to use my real name, I’d probably use it in the sense I wanna be recognized for my work.

[muted pollen]

Not a writer, but I'd like to share my view to this interesting question. I believe someone would let his/her name on a work, if he wants to brand him/herself. While a person, that use an imaginary name, most of the time tries to create another living persona that is not associated with IRL. Thus the aim here is to play with the imagination of the public rather than increase the value of him/herself.

I'd like to read about two to four pages per day and discuss them afterwards. Please send me a direct message if you're interested. I will limit the people participating to 5 :))

[midnight path]

You should google it it’s very descriptive

Hello American friends, is anyone from New York? There is this app called Libby where if you have a Digital library card you can access all of the collections of Newyork Public Library for free (Both Audiobooks and Reading Version). These digital library cards are offered to Newyork residents. So if anyone has a NYPL library card or planning to get one, if you are willing can you share me the card details.
Thank you, have a great day!

started reading yukio mishima and boy did it hit hard

[gloomy garden]

hey idk if this is the right place to ask, but I've been reading the book Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters from a couple weeks back and was wondering if anyone knew of some ways to implement the strategies of the book in a rigid high-school environment. This book is geared towards college/professionals with a more free flowing daily schedule it seems. Anyone got any tips?

[chrome saffron]

what's the name of the book?

[buoyant karma]

Hi everyone

i have been reading H.G wells, short history of the world, did you guys like it

[sage mesa]

I'm so tired 😓

[long summit]

I’ve read it before. I really enjoyed it, there’s a whole series of books

[midnight path]

Really?

I am on chapter 9

[long summit]

Yeah, I think my favourite book is actually the fourth one. But the whole series is really good

[midnight path]

Do you recommend a place I could read it on but pdf?

[long summit]

“The river” is the next book in the series

I read it on a physical copy though so I’m not really sure where you can read them online

[midnight path]

Oh okay

Thank you

[tender sparrow]

[midnight path]

Hi

[muted pollen]

ok i have to read this this looks interesting

[hot flame]

Damn the Godfather book is amazing. I thought it would be less entertaining than the movie

[robust hatch]

i agree.. that book was really tedious to read...

[rugged sable]

Yeah i like the main idea, working full focused it is. But there was too much examples about same thing like checking e-mail ect.

[tired siren]

I never completed the book. Not to say it's bad but it had a lot of unnecessary stretches that just bored me when I did read it, some 4 years ago maybe. Now I look at it more as a time to time pick up

[tired siren]

Is there a good english translation of it?

Did watch a bit of the show

[muted pollen]

Ye

There's an official translation

[coral mountain]

currently reading "waking up" by sam harris, and wow does it feel weird.. its like if alan watts pursued neuroscience instead of theology, they say alot of the same stuff, just sam harris is alot more rigorous

[hallow iron]

Sam's great

[muted pollen]

Hey guys what do you prefer ebooks or normal books because i think that ebooks have bad consequences like staring at the screen for hours =headaches and pain in eyes idk(give me advice pls and ur opinions)

[mellow wadi]

get a kindle.. a paperwhite which ever is the latest model..

[dense cargo]

I like both, like Rose said kindle and other E-readers use e-ink technology which is really easy on the eyes

I like having classics and books that I'll re-read in paper print though as it's nice to re-read them once in a while

[robust hatch]

check in #book-recommendations someone already asked that question

[sleek sonnet]

polska gurom🇵🇱

[pulsar minnow]

Yall I'm confused on what book to get

Love hypothesis
Evelyn Hugo and her seven husbands
It ends with us

[honest smelt]

I have heard Evelyn Hugo is very good. I have read none tho

[muted pollen]

any book for inspiration to become scientists

?

[muted pollen]

Are you looking for sci-fi or autobiography?

I hear that a Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking is good.

[muted pollen]

ok

[hallow iron]

lex fridman podcast

also maybe how to teach your dog quantum physics can help

[tidal gust]

[karmic lintel]

Do you guys know any websites where I can get free audiobooks? Been trying to find Adam Key's This is Going to Hurt.

[west torrent]

try audiobookbay

[sharp goblet]

i also recommend checking out your local library online. so many of them have overdrive accounts, borrowbox etc that you can get for free just using your library log in!

[formal gulch]

v enjoyable read, have you checked if your local library has a libby account?

[karmic lintel]

Thanks!

[karmic lintel]

I am in China but trying to get an english audiobook, so local library is off the table. I am going to uni in the US this fall tho. Will definitely check out local library then!

[icy relic]

[haughty flint]

stop spamming dude

hey @everyone why is this @fossil vapor spaamming

[harsh tinsel]

Wings of fire by APJ abdul kalam, Surely u r joking mr feynmen by Richard feynman.

[harsh tinsel]

Both of them are best reads tbh, they r both phenomenol books written by the greatest and most bad arse scientist of the 20th century. I would also reccomend reading all of Feynman's books later as u progress. Books like "The pleasure of finding things out" and stuff

[harsh tinsel]

I posted an answer to this one in the #book-recommendations club. feel free to dm I will send u that answer. <33, or I can copy paste here if u want. XDD

[muted pollen]

i already discovered that i hate reading ebooks i can't even read i just do if necessary so yeah for now im reading physical books is that the right term idk lol anyway thank you for answering shelly

[harsh tinsel]

Well if u want to study from ebooks then It's a whole diff matter. I would recommend buying a good tab to mark pdfs and such. But e readers can be nice, better than reading on the phone. But to each their own

[muted pollen]

imagine reading from the phone

Not for me thank you

lol

[harsh tinsel]

XXXD

[terse plinth]

It's the smell of new/old books and the feeling of turning a page physically for me. Such a vibe

[muted pollen]

same thing for me sometimes i stop reading and just smell the book lol it's just an amazing feeling not everyone can understand it

[terse plinth]

Same, like same. Just out of nowhere I want to smell the book. Weird kinks only👌🏼

[prisma lodge]

I've read the secret history and girl with dragon tattoo back to back, how does one recover?

[muted pollen]

read abafi the son of aba if you're Hungarian then buy the original one because the English translation is shit tbh gl

[muted pollen]

Actually wanted to read that for a long time! Have you read it in hungarian? Is it good?

[muted pollen]

it's amazing trust me sadly im not Hungarian lol (im learning it btw) but yeah even the English translation is amazing

[muted pollen]

Damn your learning hungarian? How come? I'm a native hungarian btw🙃

[muted pollen]

nice to meet you

[eternal slate]

anyone who reads philosophical and nihilistic shit like camus, nietzsche, dostoevsky, freud, etc etc
lets be friends and share opinions
DMs open

[muted pollen]

Bro we're soul mates I'm down

[dire mural]

Do you guys have a specific time to read self help books? Or should I read some pages whenever I get the time?

[ivory onyx]

First thing in the morning works for me

You want your head to be mostly calm when reading, not stressed. So early morning works but night might work too

[muted pollen]

30 -15 minutes everyday before sleeping is enough

[open aspen]

im gonna reread atomic habits, and actually apply it this time

[muted pollen]

Mood😂 I read it twice, but it's so hard to apply it in real life (at least for me)

[dire mural]

Thanks for the recommendations @ivory onyx and @muted pollen, since I'm in my vacations I'll read 30 - 45 minutes in the morning and night :)

[eternal slate]

dude i didn't see that earlier

[eternal slate]

I'm too damn obsessed w Nietzsche atm and its like he's making me empty day by day

[ivory onyx]

You like that he’s making you empty?

[eternal slate]

its inevitable

[obtuse badge]

<@&942391219206647828>

[storm citrus]

how's it going?

[robust hatch]

[coral mountain]

i like camus, nietzche is too difficult for me to read, but i am making it a goal to finish thus spoke zarasuthra this month.. but nietzche is my favourite philosopher overall, he has a reputation of being a nihilist, but hearing from other lecturers that have took the time to read him, thats only step 1, he first breaks you down with nihilism but then attempts to rebuild you into something better, but i think he might have gone mad trying to accomplish the second step.. idk.. but he is actually a positive philosopher despite his hard life

camus says theres no meaning to life but says we dont need a meaning to live a good life, these guys still have a positive outlook. someone like schopanhaur is really sad, i get chills just looking at a picture of him

[eternal slate]

take your time with Nietzsche
the more you know about him, the more you'll be amazed and the more you'll understand his philosophy
his philosophy cannot be put into simple words, its not meant to be simple, another thing Nietzsche was not a nihilist you'll understand it eventually as you keep reading

Brilliant tysm!

[west yew]

Guys
I am bad at math & I want you to recommend me some books to help me and improve me,Please

[ivory onyx]

Youtube is your best-friend

https://www.youtube.com/c/MichelvanBiezen

this is a cool channel

[fading bramble]

their is a channel called 3blue1brown it teaches mathconcepts with the help of graphical representations you can check it out

[solid vapor]

hello, do you have any recommendations for someone who can't go though any book?

[civic scaffold]

try setting a target of reading reading 5 pages per day. This always works for me.

[muted pollen]

what is your area of interest? fiction/ non fiction?

[atomic brook]

personally, i used to make targets. For ex like, i have to finish a certain book for a certain time. then i make the target bigger. Do it slowly from a book to more books. U can try this app > Story Graph

[coral mountain]

start with something that's really interesting to you, even a guilty pleasure lol, and try to read at least 20 minutes every day at first and schedule a time for it on your calendar

nothing too obscure and long like Charles Dickens or something 🤣

[verbal summit]

This was a really really good read 😊😊 will definitely be implementing this haha

[verbal summit]

if you’re on holiday then a good start is to take a free day and sit down and read…it’ll be boring at first probably but if you spend a few hours that first day the rest should be easier (hopefully!)

[solid vapor]

non fiction, actually i enjoy topics related to personal development, but i don't know if it's a good starting point

Currently I'm reading - or I would say I'm trying to read - "Atomic habits", although it turns out that there is a huge gap between reading/learning something and implementing it in a real life. Implementation is pretty tough process and that's what I struggle with.

[verbal summit]

try reading the bullet journal method - it touches on pretty similar concepts to atomic habits but focuses on making an effective planner, which might help the implementation bit

[long summit]

I found I struggled with implementing it as well but I think Taking notes while reading it and then following up on those might help. Also https://jamesclear.com/ has some of the main concepts of the book broken down into short, easy to understand and implement articles.

[solid vapor]

thanks, ill try it 🙂 Fun fact - today I got to the chapter where James Clear mentioned about "Tiny habits" strategy by B.J Fogg and I think it's very useful idea (sticking a new habit to the one that we have already) - that might help .

[cold edge]

Anyone has Procrastination elimination guide by John Isaac ebook?

[muted pollen]

I must read a book for Englisch named black swan green by david mitchell, do you have any study guide that i can use. I need them really hard. Or do you know someone has one?

[muted pollen]

oh so you want to read non fiction in order to implement! i see. as for me, idk why i can never read a non fiction book. i've tried to but i've never completed any. maybe because i've always read fiction i find it difficult to read something in my free time that is self-reflecting because i've always loved how fiction makes me escape reality.

one day i was so determined and i decided to read a self help and complete it, so i thought maybe i need an author who makes reading self-help fun

and that's when i found Jen Sincero.

i think one such author is Mark Manson too.

[tough hawk]

Hello~ what pdf or epub reader do you recommend? I use an android phone and I just downloaded some books from James' gdrive.

My pdf reader ain't picking some illustrations for some reason

[olive lark]

Hi guys can someone recommend free online apps where I can read any book

[muted pollen]

I've been using this site for years and It's perfectly fine

[boreal river]

hey, i want to read this book 'How the world really works' by Vaclav Smil. It covers the difficulty of the solution of climate change and also the global economy and energy. For those who've read it, were you satisfied with what was covered or not? I can't find much reviews online :P

[fringe needle]

thanks for the affirmation ^^

[opal timber]

@hallow meteor @obtuse siren this has been around for a while and it of course is a scam^

[obtuse siren]

No worries. Looks like Carl isn’t deleting after user is already banned. Thanks for the ping

[opal timber]

[surreal ice]

paperback

[muted pollen]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O8LaUhluHI

Their Website better

but I agree with you
