>>222066743currently reading picrele-book
>>222067376it is written in a lapidary style but the story is interesting yes, it is about a chief of police in ancient Egypt going into a secret mission in syria
tuesdays with morrielast monthebookexpected a sad story o algo but its just some kind of self help book
>>222067272I feel like les misérables is kind of overrated. Hugo literally spends page after page with his expositions and describing the scene. Personally, I like Honoré de Balzac and Dumas better. Although I haven’t read Hunchback of the notre dame yet. >>222066743Recently. I had to read the Alchemist for my mom’s book club (because she didn’t want to read it). It was ok but I felt it was too spiritual and idealistic
I read the satyricon and I was surprised how common bisexuality back then, like every single man was sucking and fucking. Like modern day Brazil
>>222066743The collected poetry of Vladislav Petković Dis. It was last week and I'm about to finish a collection of Plato's dialogues.Dante was an e book and Dis was a physical book.
>>222067566Your mom cheats at bookclub??
>>222066743i'm reading hokkaido dairy farmsi was reading at about 21:00 last night. wasn't before bed, but after worki don't like to read on my phone so i ordered the physical book, but i'm reading the ebook until it gets printed (on-demand) and shipped. not even pirated, but borrowed from the university library. i graduated a long time ago but i still use my account for reading
i have never read a book in my entire life
that is a horrible pose to read book her back would kill her within 12 minutes
>>222067722Almost all the women cheat at bookclub. They just use it as an excuse to gossip. I honestly don’t understand the mental gymnastics women go through. Must be exhausting.
>>222066743>1Killing Comendattore by Haruki Murakami>2Finished it today>3Physical
>>222066743Turn on, tune in, drop out by Tim Leary2 weeks agoe-bookit was pretty dumb. dude really though lsd could cure everything lmao. if only. i've never tried it but it's made me a little curious. i hope to find someone to try it with in my bedroom baby
>>222067609it is probably some smut
This week. Physical.
I'm reading malazan series, about to finish house of chains.
I’m reading “Over the Edge of the World.” It’s about Magellan’s journey.Yesterday.E-book but I switch between physical and e-reader often.
>>222066743>No audio books though, that shit doesn't count.It counts if you have it in language that is not your native language and you got the words in front of you as well
>>222069204Disgusting
I can't read at all
>>2220667437 Strategies for Wealth and Happiness, actually a good practical book
>>222066743The Sambia: Ritual, Sexuality, and Change in Papua New GuineaAround a month ago i think?E-book.
>>222070978Tell me something you learned
>>222070998How did you find out about that book and what made you want to read it?
>>2220667431. Dao De Jing 2. Days ago3. Physical

1. Fables of Aesop2. Like last week3. PhysicalNow reading Croatian Tales of Long Ago by Ivana Brlic-Mazuranic
>>222072794Some thread here on /int/ mentioned the sambia. I read a little on the wiki and it looked really interesting and i'll be honest i was kinda really turned on by the whole thing so i looked for some books on the topic and this seemed like the best one. I would very much recommend it btw.
>>222067311bbc
Satantango a month ago or so
>>222073690Wait what is it about that was turning you on? I know nothing about it
>>222074033Lots of gay sex

>>222067566>AlchemistBased. Support brazilian writersCheating at a bookclub is bizarre tho
>>2220667431. Just finished The Broken Empire trilogy. 2. Last book last night. 3. Physical.
>>222074094Uhm... Hot...
>>222067474do you actually gain any value from reading these o'reilly type technical books
>>222066743instruction manual for a circular blade
>>222075399yes, I have a subscriptionI have found their books to be helpful when you're starting out in a field, or want to gain indermediate knowledgethey also have e-books from their sister publications, some are pretty good with hands-on examples
1. The Moviegoer by William Percy2. Couple days ago, I will finish it this weekend.3. Audiobook. Someone who really enjoys reading / literature wouldn't discourage from consuming audiobooks.
>>222076045Forgot to say the book is pretty disappointing. It is over filled with useless and instantly forgotten exposition. Percy does do Southern culture justice and the New Orleans he describes is immersive.
>>222066743More like international BBC club
>>222066743I read youjo senki vol 14 just a couple of days ago, in e-book form.
>>222066743>The Tartar Steppe about 2 weeks ago>250 pages>physical I feel bad because i understand the message but ive basically changed nothing in my life
>>222066743clogwog thread
>>222066743I'm currently reading Telluria by Vladimir Sorokin (physical format). It reads like some drugged-out /int/anon's fantasy about a future balkanized Russia.
i had read "nine stories" for Japanese version.now, i'm reading "nine stories" original version yesterday. of course physical books
>>222076159What is it about and what is the messaging?
>>222076257It's about wasting your life hoping for something that will never come.>>222076159Just wait until you reread it years later and nothing has changed.
>>222076257Its about an Italian officer who has been stationed at a remote fort near the border of the northern country. He doesnt want to be there and wants to leave but ultimately stays. He falls into a mundane routine waiting for the Tartars to attack.The message is difficult to describe nut its about the passage of time, the fear of insignificance, and putting off one's life for a future that might not even existIt really does deserve all the glaze it gets. It's an amazing read.
>>222076333>Just wait until you reread it years later and nothing has changedAnon please....
>>222066743>1: What is the most recent book you've read in your countryThe Time Machine by H. G. Wells>2: how long ago was it?Like 5 days ago>3: physical book or e-book?E-book, there are more free digital books that I can read in my entire life, I dont need to get a physical book unless there is a special reason.It was very straight forward and easy to go through it, basically no characters just a setting but I liked it and it was short. >No audio books though, that shit doesn't count.Fuck you it does count, Im almost done with the Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov
>>222070506Is it good? I like naval books. I read Mr. Midshipman Easy and it's quite based.>Mr. Midshipman Easy, written by Captain Frederick Marryat in 1836, follows the coming-of-age adventures of Jack Easy, the spoiled son of a wealthy eccentric philosopher who joins the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars
>>222076704You should see the movie, it's coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo2Rv-63jSQ
>>222076885I did see both the 1960 and 2002 right after I finished the book, they both shit on the core idea of the book, that is that rich people pushed poor people to live underground to work the machines and they built paradise for themselves above ground.They are scared to recognize this part of the story but still want le classic scify story or something so they made up dumb reasons as to why the human race split in two that doesnt work as well.
>>222076947I liked to read Jules Verne books and watch the movies.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJAejjORX4A
>>2220667431: The Man In The High Castle2: uhhh i finished wednesday last week but i started thursday the week before3: physical baby. Gonna take this bad boy back to the library soon.
>>222078044I havent read anything by Jules Verne, maybe I will after I finish my Wells arc
La noia by Alberto MoraviaI'm reading it right now, I'm halfway through it but I had few moments to read judiciously this week. Also I'm reading again after near to 2 year of not reading literature. It's very interesting, a lot to think about, not buying the whole thesis of the novel but the author speaks some truths. I'm reading a scan that was uploaded in archive dot org..
>>222076159man tha book is good, also yeah it only scared me shitless while reading it but couldn't extrapolate a more proactive life after finishing it
>>222067566The alchemist was garbage. Like a 100 page hallmark card. My crush in high school got me to read it.
>>222073690>>222072794its mei spammed those threads
>>222066743Dungeon Crawler Carl and I started reading it I think two days ago but I didn't read yesterday but I will probably read today and yes it's physical it's a lot easier to read when the book is right in front of you instead of being on a screen
>>222078667>Dungeon Crawler Carlholy reddit
>>222078656Yeah i remember it was a brit flag lol. Thanks anon. Now i wonder how the fuck you found out about it.
>>222066743The obscene bird of night by José DonosoA few days agoPhysical, always
>>222079326What is it about and are you enjoying it?
I prefer reading digital texts in foreign languages because I hate having to search up words especially when I don't know the equivalent in English
>>222081084It's a reread, one of my favorite books of all time. It's not that easy to describe what it's about, especially if you want to avoid spoiling anything. If you are interested you can check out this page for the blurb on the book and what other prominent writers think about it. https://www.ndbooks.com/book/the-obscene-bird-of-night/With that said, I highly recommend the book.
>>222066743physical book, Războiul nevăzut (the unseen warfare) by saint Nicodim Aghioritul

>Under the Volcano>3 weeks ago>physical, can't stand eBooks
>>222066743>1: What is the most recent book you've read in your countryplato’s symphosion. I liked it, I wanna read more plato in general, he’s very entertaining even in terms of pure style. I also liked how you can see some of the ideas in symphosion that later get more developed in polis. But right now I’ve started Iliad, so Plato will have to wait. >2: how long ago was it?Finished it like a week ago or so. Maybe week and a half. >3: physical book or e-book?Physical. I don’t really like e-books. I get distracted too easily I think. >>222067566>AlchemistI read it as a kid but I don’t remember much. I think it was incredibly popular like 20 years ago though. >>222070506Interesting topic. Is it good? Is it a purely historical book?
