I’ve recently started a job driving a shuttle van across the city for the general public. I’ve got a wide amount of leeway, but the audiobooks I’ve been listening to have been… not hitting right. I started with “The Name of the Wind” which was extremely well reviewed. I liked it a lot for the most part, and for the...

Mort is a funny, heartwarming introduction to Death, one of the major Discworld characters. It starts off with Death deciding to take on an apprentice, Mort. Turns out, Death loves curry, has an adopted daughter, Ysabell, and gets REALLY UPSET and VERY ANGRY indeed when people harm or kill cats and kittens. And he rides a horse...
These are all the books I have read either at work or home during 2023. To add to the list, I am going include the audiobooks I have listened to this year....
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 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 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 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...

Hello, I’m trying to find a book that I read a long time ago about a man who turned invisible because cosmic radiation hit his electric blanket while he was asleep. I’ve tried googling and chat GPT and neither of them turned up any results. Does this book sound familiar to anyone?
Are people using Bookwyrm? Who are some people to follow on Bookwyrm?
I’ve had this reoccurring thing every year or so where I remember this book I read in like 5th - 6th grade that was really fucking good every year or so. I need to find it, I try every time but no amount of Googling thin recollections of its plot has got me anywhere.
When I asked my friend how she found the book to be, she described it as “a jumble of thoughts that felt familiar.”...
How is the plot ? I can’t stand plot holes . Also in what order should i read ? I have watched season 1 and 2 of the series and thought it was average and won’t be bothering with season 3 as cavil is sacked after this anyway . Also i like the harry potter series as they have fleshed out characters and good plot with very...
Trying to find a book - remember the story vaguely, read it maybe 20-30 years ago. People are living/working on assigned weekdays and sleep in others, a couple are interested to move to the same day and somebody arranges it to fail in some way.
The attached image is the number of books I have read this year with their page and audio length stats....

I have a lot of time to fill with audio, but audiobooks are challenging for me because I have trouble paying attention consistently enough and processing physical descriptions fast enough to keep up with the narrator. I end up losing my place or having to rewind a lot. Slowing down playback doesn’t help/introduces other...
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....
