Do you think good-looking people get treated better? Never thought about it.

I was so excited for a new book thread, so imagine my surprise when 90% of the thread is about reading books on devices and fanfiction.

I like books with ocean themes. Just not when the English is frickin “ye hath casteth the sail”

Every new thread thats created about books is another step I take towards making a book club for the nerds on here.

 

[rand anon]

can't rly offer any, I don't read many books cause I already can't manage time properly between school work and online rotting. Last book I fully read through was Norwegian wood, then I bought 1q84 and read through part of it but again had to stop cause of work. Will try to start again once I grad

not exact and jfl at asking my mom for help making a .com thread I was homeschoolsed at that age

Shi, I'm down. I only really read self-help/finance books.
When I read fiction, it's horror. The Haar or IT is probably my favourite.

I personally use GoodReads. I know people recommend other sites but I've just been on GoodReads for so long and I personally like using it.

Of course not, everyone is equal!

Yeah like looks don’t matter at all tf

 

[prettybird]

so frens,

what's the most beautifully written book you’ve ever read?

I'm seeking style over story. if the prose is pretty, I’ll brave any busted narrative.

all titles welcome but preferably no romance or action slop, fantasy / scifi, juvenile fiction, etc.

The Alchemist was the best one I've read personally

 

[Decay]

The Tunnel - William Gass. Or The Fall by Albert Camus.

 

[draftLexy]

adultery by paulo coelho
It’s romance kinda but not in the traditional sense and it does have lots of sex scenes but the book itself is very intriguing
