I’m nearing the end of the wheel of time, first book that Sanderson worked on....

I am reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (P&V translation). About 20% through. It’s starting to get interesting as the characters start to take shape. Till now I have read and enjoyed the P&V translations of both Crime and Punishment and Demons. This is a huge book and I am looking forward to enjoying this for...

In universe I mean, not by the reader. I remember the few times I saw stories like that were fairly… cringe; the MC was usually a loner and the people didn’t have a good reason to hate him, if any at all!...

I remember reading the series in sixth grade for an assignment and falling in love with them and try to read them at least once a year....

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?

I’m looking for a solution to easily keep bookmarks digitally of physical books I read. Previously I would type up the just I was wanting to save into a Google Keep note, but that is fairly disruptive to my reading time and really slows things down....

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

Very curious to know about it 😎 Do not be shy, just share it (no judgement).

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?...

I want to read a recent(ish) fun fantasy series with an eighteen year-old male protagonist, that has immense worldbuilding and greatly-written characters. Any suggestions?

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...

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....

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....

Title, it would be nice to get to know the community in a place where we could see each other reading habits.

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....

And I absolutely loved it. It is honestly one of my new favorite books. I am going to tag basically this whole post as spoilers because the thing that truly makes this book amazing does not start until almost 100 pages in....

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....

Book #6 was released earlier this week, with the final #7 due next year....

I’ve tried looking this up and never find a solid answer. Seems to be down to preference, but I’m thinking there has to have been some study around fonts and reading speed or reading comprehension, something that would help me pick a font?...

If this is meant to be elsewhere, please let me know. I once read a story about a soldier who was in a horrific assault, who was then grafted into a large battle mech. As the story goes on, more flesh is taken until eventually only a spinal column and brain are left inside a gel-sack, and the machine has been upgraded to the...
