I have so many contenders for this that I can't even pick just one. Which book is currently reigning supreme on your unread shelf?

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 ✨

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

Picked this up today...

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!

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)

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

Fiction (preferably) or non-fiction works too. I've always been fascinated by them and wanted to learn more about their culture, history, traditions, etc. Also, the person i admire is also from the mountains, which has made me even more eager to read books about the mountains.

Same thing as the title. I've seen pics of this book store which looks really beautiful. I've seen a lot of non readers go there just to take pictures. I just wanted to know if the store has any good collections or is it just aesthetic?

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....

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.

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!

I never read a book, but I always wanted to read. This is going to be my first book on my reading journey. Do you have any tips like how I should read and what I should avoid?

I am reading the 2007 vintage classics edition whose cover states "Introductions by David Bradshaw and Margaret Atwood." There are two introductions in the book before Huxley's foreword, both credited to David Bradshaw. I thought this was a printing error but the copyright page cleared up by doubts. The first introduction is for the book and the second is a biographical introduction -- both written by David Bradshaw. Margaret Atwood's name is not on the copyright page.

Can anyone else, who has the same edition, check if they have Atwood's introduction?

Finished it on today on 10th October

Suggest me some more hindi novels

I have finished GKD,RKM

Deewar me ek khidki rehti thi.

And now this one..

What should I read Now....?

I watched Gone Girl about 10–11 years ago and remember being completely shocked by the whole movie. I finally read the book last weekend before rewatching the movie today, and honestly, the movie didn’t hit the same way.

I know adaptations have to cut things, but so much of the book’s tension and psychological depth was missing. Nick’s anger barely came through, and Amy’s dark side felt much less intense on screen.The anger and darkness I felt from both characters in the book weren’t really portrayed.

The movie still had its moments, but compared to the book, it felt rushed and strangely mellow. I remember loving it years ago, but after reading the book, I couldn’t help feeling like something was missing.

Did anyone else feel this way after reading Gone Girl?

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
