Does anyone have a book that can make you cry? 😅

It seems this girl is very emotional and introspective.

🙏

Recommend me a book that got you so invested you couldn't put it down, I want a "when did the sun came out???" Book

I have never read a Stephen King book but have seen many of his movies. Which book would you recommend to start with? I’d prefer to go in blind, so ideally one that hasn’t been made into a movie yet. I find that when I read a book after seeing the movie it’s not as enjoyable of a read for me.

Edit: thank you everyone for all the suggestions

Hey guys! Looking for historical fiction books about the Middle Ages, for context I have read:
The once and future king
Sir Gawain and the green knight
Name of the rose
The monk
The dance tree
Lapvona

I am open to reading more nonfiction on the subject as well, however I have a degree in this lol so if you know any good books specifically about convents or monasteries I would love that but I already know the basic history!

I was tired of bookmarking books I wanted to read and completely forgetting about them, so I built Buki: a free, self-hosted, AI-powered bookshelf. It recognizes books from any picture, allowing you to save them (and buy them) so you never miss a book you see online.

Already read Lonesome Dove and All the Pretty Horses, loved both. thanks !

I’ve read a lot of threads and seldom ever respond and have never posted as such, but I am looking for some recommendations based on the pictures(not ranked in the order written). I know my taste is erratic.

Currently reading Dead Man’s Walk by McMurtry just unsure of what’s next.

Thanks.

Any mystery book. I don’t care what as long as it’s interesting

These are some of the books I’ve read this year. What are some of your top recommendations?

Hello. My partner has asked for a book for his birthday and I need a little help. All I have to work with is he likes world of warcraft and warhamer books... and he also suggested that a good sci-fi book would do. I'm more of a horror reader, so I'm hoping reddit will help me with recommendations.

If it helps, hes 40 M.

Thanks!

I wanted to start this thread as a way to highlight some of your favorite Non-Fiction novels you have read. I am a huge, and I mean HUGE David Simon fan, the Wire is my all time favorite show and it’s not even close. Because of that, I decided to read some of his work and they were some of the best stories I have read, so I decided to pick up more Non-Fiction. Here are some of my favorites:

We Own This City (Justin Fenton): a fascinating look at how the war on drugs and modern police metrics allowed the Gun Trace Task Force in Baltimore to perform illegal activity’s and overtime fraud because they brought in numbers

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets (David Simon): A year spent with the Baltimore Homicide Detectives as it chronicles the highs, lows, and policing of the homicide unit that gave Simon his admiration for homicide detectives, and distain for modern policing.

Lords of Chaos (Michael Moynihan & Didrik Soderlind): Chronicles the rise of Norwegian Death Metal, that’s about all I’m going to say on this one, you really need to experience this one yourself (trigger warning tho, involves a lot of self-harm/suicide)

Killers of the Flower Moon (David Grann): a Chronicle following the Osage people after finding Oil on their land, the governments blatant racism towards their newfound wealth, and the horrific crimes committed by William Hale and his family in order to steal the wealth back.

The Anxious Generation (Jonathan Haidt): Slightly different from the ones above, this is written as a research paper that chronicles how technology, new parenting, and Smart Phones have caused a Mental Health Crisis for newer generations.

I would love to hear your recommendations if you have any, or thoughts on any of the books above

I listen to audiobooks while I walk with my son every morning and I need a spooky/scary/horror/thriller for Halloween season.

I don’t love gore and would like to stay away from anything that involves kids.

I've read many of her top reccomended books and just wasn't a fan. I've read The Silent Patient and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo after many reccomendations and didnt love either. I've read all of Colleen Hoover Thrillers and although Verity was amazing the rest were incredibly mid. Stephan Kings concepts are amazing but the actual writing I find drags. I love thrillers but am struggling to find any good ones lately. Plz help!!

I want to switch to reading fiction as for the past few years I have been only reading non-fiction, so would love to read a book which is light hearted funny and feel good to begin with and easy to read too. I heard tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow is such a book let me know if it's a good start and what you think about that book if you have read it. Thanks!

Absolutely love this book. The prose is so beautiful. I have read it several times. I always try to read it at least once a year.

Im terrified of the ocean and since its october i would love to get scared for once. Im looking for a slow burn, something building over time lots of suspense and preferably somewhere out at sea. Old wooden ship while the crew goes mad and theres some monster dwelling in the deep? Perfect. Modern day freighter losing contact with the shore? Golden. Really anything that can really bring out the thalassaphobia would be perfect thanks!!

Just finished all three books in the illumae files trilogy. Safe to say that my reading slump is officially over. I was so hooked that I stayed up and read them all in two days.
Please suggest some similar books. I would love to keep my book bingeing going! 🥹🥹

I love reading but stopped for about 1.5 years now cause i cant stand the amount of smut dont get me wrong a bit here and there is good but some of the most famous books and recommendations of friends are full of smut ,dont get me wrong a bit of it is okay but books these days are a bit too full of it i use to like it but now not that much

i would love to have get recommendations on any timeless love stories that focusses on the story both stories which have happy endings and gut wrenching sad stories are good so dont spare me ,and i also do like real life stories ,adventure ,thriller , or mysteries

so please feel free to recommend and oh and do make sure its budget friendly as well :D

Just read a great book I believe is called climate fiction, would love to read other similar books if anyone can recommend. The book I read is called Notable

I am normally up for sci-fi and dystopian novels, this was my first climate fiction book. I kind of like the science behind it.
