A question of Morality: A reflection on The Brothers Karamazov...
Recently, I came to a sad conclusion. I no longer feel interested in fantasy....
When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it’s good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don’t trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?
I’ve just finished Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam and was incredibly impressed. I haven’t read anything in a while that captures what it might actually be like faced with the collapse of society....
I loved the book, it was a very fun fever dream. Do the sequels have that same sort of frenetic energy?...
i love asoiaf but it’s hard to start rereading atm of course
A year ago, I read the Masters of Rome series, written by Colleen McCullough. Before reading this series I only vaguely knew about Julius Caesar (thanks to Shakespeare) and had no idea about Roman history. These books introduced me to characters that felt like real flesh and blood people I know so well, involved in delightfully...
Just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time. One of my top reads, let alone sci-fi reads, for the past couple of years for sure. Super well-thought out concepts, good character development, and an irresistible hook that will take you out of your comfort zone when you find out that you really don’t know who you are...
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...
Specifically M/F romance.
I learned to read in grade school like pretty much everyone else I know, and I remember really enjoying reading for a very narrow portion of my younger years. When reading books became a compulsary part of school, that enjoyment just vanished, and video games ended up filling that void of “solitary passtime”. I dont even...
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....
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....
What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe....
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?
Preferably something with a social aspect too where you can see the books others have read. Something like MyAnimeList but for books
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?
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?...
