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 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....

Recently, I came to a sad conclusion. I no longer feel interested in fantasy....

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

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?

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 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....

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....

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

A question of Morality: A reflection on The Brothers Karamazov...

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”?

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?...

Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?...
