I know it is a known Classic but i liked Animal Farm so much i had to share. Before reading i thought that it would be similar to 1984 or Brave new world which it kind of is but its also very very different. Right from the Beginning i was hooked. I really love Orwells Books but this one is my favourite. I did not expect that. So...

I have a specific book I’ve been meaning to read for awhile. I’ve heard that while it’s a great journey, it’s a dense / heavy / slow read along the way. It sounds like it’d be fun to read it together with a group of likewise interested folks....

Things found in library books.

Don’t know if people know of this site or not but just in case you don’t, it’s pretty damn good. All they require is an email address (I used an anon one with no issues). You can follow up to 100 authors and get alerts when new stuff is announced and published....

Question to the physical book readers here, what do you use as bookmark?...

Hi all! I just finished “The Three Body Problem” by Liu Cixin and enjoyed it a lot. It’s got me curious about sci-fi written elsewhere in the world and what cultural differences may appear in sci-fi written from a non-US perspective....

I would like to know what caused the Great Depression and how the world recovered from it. Do you know any good books on this subject?

Like, I understand listening to them while driving to work, exercising, doing chores, etc!...

I’m nearly finished rereading 1984 and my appetite for dystopian books is whetted. What are some other great ones I should check out?

Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist....

I recently sort of came into realizing I’m a demisexual, and was wanting to see about if there are any books about people’s experiences as demisexual or asexual or similar....

I’ll start, for the moment mine are...

Did many of you even have much nonfiction?...

I am looking forward to this novel. I love this character and look forward to reading another case with her as the lead....

I’ve recently gotten a small obsession with the idea of a single African currency or a single BRICS currency forming as a fuck you to NATO and the west. As a result i’ve spent far to much time this week reading wikipedia articles on the history of currency in colonial and post colonial Africa....
