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

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’ve been on a spy fiction kick recently- I really enjoyed the recent The Man from UNCLE movie and I Expect You to Die video game. I’m looking for some novels that are in a similar vein (classic 60s spy versus an egomaniac villain out to take over the world). However, I cannot stand the sexism in Ian Fleming’s books....

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....

mine are:...

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

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....

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

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....

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....

I started reading it a month ago (I’m a slow reader lol) and got to the middle of the book. I really liked the first part but half way it started to feel like it’s repeating itself and lose its meaning, like where does it go? It feels stuck....

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?...

I don’t really understand how new books or new authors get their works to wider audiences nowadays. How exactly do you find new books, or if you write how do you get them out to people with how much content is put out every day?

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...

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

The topic of the book sounds interesting, but I’m wondering if it is still a good read today/aged well and if it is suitable for someone who isn’t already familiar with sociology much. Is the writing style easily digestible, or is it a “hard read”?

Specifically how the deaths of so many of our soldiers affected families and communities.

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...

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