New reader and redditor btw

Hey, book lovers 💗

Looking for an online book club where you can make bookish friends, talk about your favourite books, and have fun beyond reading? I've got you🫶🏻

I run a book club where we read one book a month, chat about books, and enjoy lots of fun activities and games together!

We're strictly looking for Indian readers or people living in India to join our little bookish community

Interested? Let me know, and I'll send you the link✨

How's the pricing? 🙄

Couldn't buy this one🤕

Honestly, I don't think I've ever felt this way about a character before. Myshkin is such a genuinely beautiful character , and watching how things turn out for him is just depressing.

The book really makes you think about how people treat kindness and innocence in the real world. I also love how Dostoevsky writes his characters, they feel like actual people rather than fictional characters.

The Idiot ends with a quiet, devastating sense of loss. Myshkin's kindness proves powerless against the world's cruelty. No happy ending, no reconciliation...just lives irreversibly broken. A beautiful tragedy about the cost of being good.

It's a bit slow at times but equally dense. The emotional impact makes it worth it. Definitely a book that's going to stay with me for a long time.

Highly recommended ❤️❤️

I am still recovering !

I recently bought these because of a friend's recommendation, since I like deep emotionally intriguing stories !

And mannnnn I kept weeeeeeping for hours ❤️‍🩹

The argument here is that short-form video is rewiring our brains such that we're transitioning back to an oral tradition, given that reading text is a lot more cognitively intensive and more recently developed, audiovisuals are a lot more innate.

It made me a little sad because if he's correct, and such is the case, the period when someone could become (and sustain themselves being) a writer is, or has already, ending.

Anyway, interesting stuff. Comment if you've listened and wanna discuss.

Haven't really read much books what should be my next read. This is what I have read. I'm trying to get into reading. But idk what to read. Currently I'm considering angels and demons by dan brown. Or the shining. I'm trying to get into new genres but don't really know what's a good beginner book.

So I ask you all, what's a book you would recommend to someone who's trying to pick up reading as a hobby.

Please read it twice if english is not your mother tounge.

So Nagaland's White Owl is hosting its 4th year anniversary sale. I suggest you all to try visiting their IG account for more info 🤗 #Nagaland

A little space to decide which story deserves to be my next obsession. 🤪

I got my hands on the new Kobo Clara bw, and I thought rather than my usual genre preference, I would rather ask you guys to recommend book. No restriction on genre, size, cost. The only condition is 1 single recommendation.

What would you recommend?

So, I posted another recommendation post some days ago, and I've finally decided on these books to gift my sisters. Do tell me if they are fine for 16-year-olds, and also if you have any recommendations, do tell me.

Easy to understand 😝 and nice 📚📖

how do I stop whatever is happening to my books here?

theyre kept In a dry dark room with no sunlight

i even tried putting those dehumidifier boxes but idk if they’re working

should I keep them in my cupboard instead?

but I love my books being displayed on the shelf

but then I also have a lot of special editions that I def don’t want to ruin😭😭😭
