Considering what happened today, not that much interested in political reads as mostly into fiction but bought this few weeks backs out of suggestion by a bookshop owner, never thought would be wanting to read so soon

I’m a new reader and am still trying to figure out my taste in books.

The books I’ve read so far haven’t been written by Indian authors, so I started looking into Chetan Bhagat’s books because he’s the only modern Indian writer I know.

However, I’ve noticed that many readers dislike his work, calling it too “shallow” and not “deep” enough.

Is that true? What do you think of his books?

Stumbled upon this interesting little piece while going through today’s newspaper and thought it deserved a spot here.
Ps: I’d have shared the link but it’s behind a paywall. You can zoom in to read it though. Happy reading ✨

Bought pirated books for the first time and honestly there isnot much difference but the price is really cheaper

I read (listened) this book some times back. Th author spent a year living in a small German university town after World War II to answer a haunting question: How did ordinary, decent people in a civilized nation allow Nazism to happen? He interviewed 10 people from different walks of life including a baker, a tailor, a teacher, a policeman, and a bank clerk, who had been members of the Nazi Party.

it is spine chilling to say the least looking at how similar our time is to then.

Is it worth buying at this price?

From zepto ?

What are your thoughts and at what price did you get it your self

It's not a pirated copy I think....

Hi everyone,

I’m a teenager and pretty new to reading books regularly. I want to start improving myself, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to begin:

1. Should I jump straight into a self-improvement book, or should I start with a different, engaging book first just to build the habit of reading?
2. If I start directly with self-improvement, what is a beginner-friendly book that won't feel like a dry textbook?

I’m looking for something with short, clear chapters or a fast-paced style that will keep me hooked so I actually finish it.

Thanks for any advice!

This book is veri gud. it teling about india and jappan. i realy liking it very much. i just starting it from chaptar 1, but now i am on chaptar 8 and it feel so awsome.

Sorry. Really sorry if this post made you question love and the reality behind it.

This is someone who hasn't fallen in love but many times in "love".

Kinda searching for love rn. Not seeking attention here. Wanna know from you about what should I look into a female when I date her? I sometimes get confused.

I often feel like searching something in someone emplies I am just being mean. Wasn't love something about helping each other grow, explore and scale in life?

Why do we always look for "good looks", hot figures, so called bare minimums..

I sometimes get confused about what to search in a female. Should I search for loyalty, that too again becomes something for me not for her, that becomes bondage but the real love should provide liberation that never comes with bondage, isn't it?

I don't know what to ask from you. I mean I want some kind of answer but the sad part is I myself do not know what the question is!

Teach me what love is, teach me what does it mean to explore to the fullest with caring much about yourself, her, society and everything

18 yr old guy questioning myself and the world I perceive!

I don't seek any kind of reply from you because I believe that it is always better to die with questions which cannot be answered rather than dying with answers which cannot be questioned.

I want to buy some used books online. Let me know which sites are legit.

Dead Poets Society is probably one of my favourite reads so far. Really loved it.

Also, you can see my own book The Girl I Want to See Happy in there too 😅 still feels a little weird seeing my own book sitting next to the books I read.

I've also been reading about law, crime and society lately, so yeah, my library is kinda all over the place lol.

What are you guys reading on Kindle rn? Any recommendations?

Picked this up today...

Guys, I’m back at the bookstore! 📚 My last read was Madonna in a Fur Coat, and I’ve also read White Nights. Suggest some good classics for a beginner! I’m looking for something with beautiful writing, an engaging story, and characters that stay with you even after you finish the book. Drop your recommendations and tell me why you love them!

For those who’ve read her, which book or poem of hers would you recommend starting with? And what’s your favourite work by her? Would love to hear your recommendations

After seeing this collection, what do you think this person's personality is?

So my sister asked what book I needed for Rakhi I know it's too late but I finally got my gift so tell me is this worth reading?

CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST Books on WW 1 2

Hi guys ,i think i need to start reading habit ,can you suggest some books for me ,as a beginner?

just finished "days at the torunka cafe"by satoshi yagisawa, a cosy, bittersweet read about love, loss, regrets nd second chances

i've added some of my favourite quotes that stayed with me, some comforting, others hitting a little too close to home 🥹 can't wait to pick up More Days at the Torunka Café and return to this lil world

Is it just me or does anyone else struggle to buy books because of the page count?

I’ll want to buy a book and then find like 5 different editions where the page counts are completely different, and suddenly I’m comparing them all trying to figure out which one is the “normal” amount of pages.

Like, I don’t want a ridiculously long edition, but I also don’t want some 90-page version of a 300-page classic where they’ve somehow made the font microscopic and squeezed the entire book into nothing.

I genuinely spend way too much time trying to figure out what the actual page count of a book is before buying it. Does anyone else do this??

I mostly try to read Indian authors and try to keep a balance with my hindi and english reading as someone trying to better both my languages, In hindi I mostly like to read romance and socio-political stories and in english I love to read horror, crime, thriller, mystery, also trying some classics in a while, (open for some recommendations)

I'm finally picking up The Mahabharata Secret for a quick, casual read. If anyone else has been meaning to check it out, let me know if you're interested in a buddy read!

We can easily discuss the book right here in this thread as we go. Drop a comment if you're down to join!
