fav book of all time

sun tzu art of war

My favorite book is Cinderella is dead

I’m currently reading a couple of books

I’m reading the third book in the mirror visitor series by Christelle Dabos. It’s a fantasy series very miyazaki ish. Descriptions and world building is really good!

I’m also reading the book ‘if we were alone’ by ml rio. This one is a mystery contemporary book.

May I use this thread to promote my fav EXO concept aka EXO x books?

I've read the mini bible in the dollar store book section

On a more serious note, I finished reading the first volume of the Metro series by Dmitry Glukhovsky yesterday but I wasn't that much into it so not sure if I'll pick up the other two volumes anytime soon.

Now I've started La Belle Sauvage by Pullman. The original His Dark Materials series was one of my favourite childhood series and I love coming back to it but I'm a bit disappointed by this prequel story

Ooh how is it? I really want to read it but it hasn't been translated in my country and the English copy costs a fortune

You don’t read ebooks?

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

Oh I only read ebooks haha. On my iPad usually. Phone hurts my eyes but I used to do that too before.

Reading is an expensive hobby if you have to buy books indeed. Unless you are going to the library Ofc.

it's so expensive while others are addicted to buying clothes and stuff, i'm here spending my entire salary on books lol i try to buy them secondhand though. i rarely borrow books from the library cause I hate having a deadline it kills all the joy

You know Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson?

I've been trying to read it for nearly a year now, but I find it so boring

I was trying to get back into reading by reading a chapter of a book before bed each night, but Kidnapped is too boring, I couldn't continue. I will finish it eventually

*runs away*

I love mystery stories. I checked on google play. They only have if we were villains. Is that good as well?

I bought the book based on your likes girls. I just read the first chapter. It’s interesting.

Anyone into psychology, find humans interesting, etc? (this is relevant to books I swear)

Quote from elirvs

You prefer non fiction??

No, that's not what I was getting at

I don't like non-fiction but I do find some biographies interesting because people are interesting

I haven't read biographies since I was little though so if you want a recommendation it'll probably be one aimed at young children

Same! And when I read ebooks I can find more comfortable positions for reading.

This is how this thread looks like in my head

I am into psychology but I unfortunately read books from authors who come from my country and I doubt English copy exists

But books like these are the most interesting ones.

Quote from elirvs

Aah okay..got it now

Sure if you have good reccs

I really liked this one! Neil Armstrong's childhood was really interesting! I read it to do a book report on Neil Armstrong in 4th grade and I used this, and I did a book report on Neil Armstrong again in 7th grade and my teacher let me use this book again even though I told her I had used it to do a book report on Neil Armstrong in 4th grade

I also really liked a biography on Nathaniel Bowditch; he was really interesting as well. I think it was this one, the cover looks similar, I remember it being blue and him being on a ship.

I really liked the narration in both of these, it was sort of omniscient, describing their thoughts and all that, so they felt more like storybooks despite being non-fiction

Oh, would you like books like, for example, from the pov of a sadist? Because humans are interesting?

Oh yes definitely! I would even read pov of a masochist. I am also interested in pov of survivors of concentration camps... okay I just love psychology and I read everything.

I also love biographies, but not the ones which are written like novels. Because those are usually inaccurate.

Would you read a fictional book written in 1st person where the main character is a sadist and trying to prove he didn't murder someone while trying to cover the fact he murdered someone else?

Still trying to finish sense and sensibility

Yes

It's a Norwegian book released in 2011. I don't know the Norwegian title but the title in English is "I Can See in the Dark". I read the translated into English version in 2018 (I don't remember when it was translated).

I highly recommend to people who find humans/psychology interesting, it was really interesting!

The scary thing is even though he's a sadist, he's still relatable in other ways

I've downloaded Paulo Coelho's books, which one should I read first?

Edit: I just started reading 'popular/famous' books last year. I love buying old, on sale and 'unpopular' books but covid happened last year.
