I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?...

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....

Can Anyone Recommend me Magic/Superhero School or Guild Stories?...

I finally read “Old Man and the Sea”. I have tried to start it many times, but the beginning was just so slow. Has anyone here read it? What are your thoughts on this Ernest Hemingway classic?

How do you guys read books that you don’t feel like reading?...

Things found in library books.

I have soon finshed all of The Expanse (which I have enjoyed immensely) and last month I finished Peter F Hilton’s Pandoras Star. While I enjoyed the second half of Pandoras Star, they (it’s a trilogy) are such heavy books with rather slow pace. One of my favorite reads last year was Recursion by Blake Crouch - it’s fast...

Title: The Monster that Haunted the Sewers....

I have been reading Finnegans Wake over the course of this year, a few pages a day, along with a group over on reddit. It is one of the very few things that still keeps me visiting reddit at all....

Basically what it say on the tin. I just finished Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler) and I loved it. Any suggestions on what else I might like? It’s been a while since I got into a scifi novel....

I read the trilogy on a whim last week, and just to be sure I followed the basic plot lines since there’s so much stream of consciousness and abstract contradictory personal thoughts going on, I looked at plot summaries after I read each book....

Preferably something with a social aspect too where you can see the books others have read. Something like MyAnimeList but for books

It was weird....

I started reading this book because of the amount of people that describe it as a ‘must read’ for Japan travel enthusiasts or in general, people that feel curious about the country and its people....
