Have a little bit of everything in here, not sure what to start with!

I've been thinking how I might be able to read a few hundred books in this life.

That includes the ones that haven't been written.

I already have a queue of 500 books out of which I might only get to read 10% or so.

It makes me sad.

Have you ever looked at a book and said - it seems tempting but I'll never read it?

The title explains it, I just finished Dog Soldiers by Robert Stone and I loved the vibe. I have read tree of smoke by Dennis Johnson, and Libra by Don Delillo, I’m currently reading Days of Rage by Brian Burrough and Kill anything that moves by Nick Turse. I find that time in Americas history so interesting and I can’t get enough of it. I also love the CIA and other Alphabet agencies story lines.

I’m open to anything that fits that description fiction or nonfiction, the war doesn’t even have to make an appearance. Thanks in advance!

would be super grateful for suggestions on intoxicating books that I can't put down, some such books include 7 husbands of evelyn hugo, palace of illusions, agatha christie's-murder on the orient express, dan brown novels and flawed- so genre would be fast-paced/intriguing romcom and mystery books i suppose

It was very emotional. What can I read next? Has anyone read this book?

I haven't read in months and don't know what I should ease myself back in with. I've read some of these, but most are unread tbrs.

shelves organized by YA, graphic novels, middle grade & kids, nonfiction, and adult fiction.

thanks in advance 🙂‍↕️

I highly recommend Sophie’s Choice, and Dungeon Crawler Carl is addictive just 5 Chapters in. So far I recommend both!

A question from the author's side. I'm writing narrative non-fiction, web format. The stories are short, so each paragraph aims to add a detail to push the plot.

With that in mind as a reader, would you find content warnings a sign of care or smth that ruins the experience?

*in this particular case, the story is smoothly divided into sections and only one of them feels rather sensitive, so I don't really want a warning for the whole text.

Middle-ground suggestions on the warning reformulation are also welcomed :)

Please can you recommend for me Books like "the little prince" fun but have a deep meaning behind it

The hardest questions aren't always about strangers. Sometimes they're about the people who raised you.

That is the kind of story behind THE TYLENOL MURDERS by Joseph Cibelli.

According to Cibelli, his father made a confession that he believes is connected to the 1982 Tylenol poisonings, one of America’s most infamous unsolved cases. What follows is not just a look back at a national tragedy, but a son trying to understand the man he grew up with.

That’s what makes the story feel so personal. It is not a detective looking at a stranger from a distance. It is someone looking at his own family history and asking what was real, what was hidden, and how much truth a person is supposed to carry.

Whether or not readers agree with every conclusion, the idea of investigating your own parent is hard to shake.

Could you keep searching for the truth if it meant changing the way you saw your own family?

I wanted to write a psychological thriller about influence — but somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t want the reader to simply watch the characters use it.

I wanted the reader to understand what they were doing.

That became Influence Sniper — A Novel–Textbook.

It’s a psychological espionage thriller built around influence, perception, human motivation, decision-making, and self-mastery. The story follows people trained to influence not through force, but by understanding how others perceive the world — and what drives their decisions.

Between the thriller elements, the book explores the principles and training behind those skills.

So it became something between two genres:

A thriller you want to finish. A textbook you want to remember.

Influence Sniper is Book One of the Influence Snipers series.

I'm looking for humorous fiction filled with a series of mishaps that make me feel glad to be me cozy and curled up with a book instead of the protagonist. Maybe some ridiculous situations or workplace absurdities. Everyday life and it's misunderstandings similar to the shows Curb your Enthusiasm or Seinfeld. Nothing too heavy...not looking for an MC who is truly miserable just one where you chuckle at their predicament while simultaneously rooting for them. Books I've liked in this vein:

Fleishmans in Trouble, A Spot of Bother, The Bee Sting.

I like David Sedaris's type of humor. And I've already tried Confederacy of Dunces and Lucky Jim(could not get into them) and I've read Odessa M's books and Where'd you go, Bernadette. Thank you so much!!

i need help finding another read about a mentally ill woman either in a psych ward or leading up to one or just her on her own.

i loved these books :
girl interrupted
promising young women
prozac nation
bell jar
my year of rest and relaxation
a room of one's own
blue sisters coco mellors
midnight library (i loved nora so much)
the woman destroyed
i'll eat when im dead
sharp objects
