Books

I read the Handmaid's Tale yesterday, finally. I'm disappointed. I did not like the writing style at all, there was no real story, just descriptions. And then it just ended. No conclusion or anything....

I've been on a binge this year of reading some fairly good and some terribly bad thrillers and mystery books. I just finished reading "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, which I greatly enjoyed, particularly after reading the Silent Patient, which I thought was awful....

Stranded on an Island. By random chance you've got your three favourite books with you....

I think many of you know the feeling of being in a reader's slumber: you both want to read but whatever you are reading right now just isn't cutting it. This was my case for the past months: while I absolutely loved reading The Karamazov Brothers, I barely made any progress due to it being quite a dense book and me being...

I reviewed The Vessel, a folk horror novel by Adam Nevill (best known for The Ritual). Tense and claustrophobic!

Maybe cause I never read Neil, but I'm having trouble telling who is responsible for what.

I recently read his article about enshittification and watched an interview where he talks about "chokepoint capitalism"....

What book is currently on your nightstand? How do you like it? Would you recommend it to others?

Which book would you recommend me as my first ever book?

Cross posting since the communities are all so small right now. Thought I would spread the content around. Please let me know if that's not okay and I will remove.

I'm moving some of my higher-quality posts over from Reddit. This post was originally made on /r/wot, and as there doesn't appear to be a dedicated Wheel of Time or fantasy magazine yet, I am posting here....

Are you in search for good books to read during summer holidays? Look no further. Here we review some from our talented Scottish writers

This is a post I originally made on the /r/wot subreddit. Figured I would start moving over some of my high effort posts to the fediverse. There doesn't appear to be a big fantasy or Wheel of Time community yet so I thought I would post here...

Do you know there's a #fediverse alternative to Amazon-owned #Goodreads? #BookWyrm is a social network for tracking your reading, writing reviews, and discovering what to read next. You can follow and interact with users on different #BookWyrm instances and on #Mastodon. You can import from a Goodreads CSV export. You can create...

As I've become a part of the Fediverse I keep thinking back to the Bobiverse book series and wanted to give it a shout out on here. It's a fantastic, funny sci-fi series about a man named Bob who gets his consciousness uploaded as the controlling AI for a space ship.

As title. Even better if whatever you use also helps with recommendations! I’ve been mostly using Goodreads, but Bookwyrm looks like a neat decentralized alternative. Does anyone have any experience with it?

Author of The Road and No Country For Old Men died in his home of natural causes, publisher announces

I have a habit of reading far too many books at once, and have developed "themed" reading months for myself to help keep my focus (for instance I usually read one Stephen King novel a year, and only in October)....

Just finished The Indifferent Stars Above and previously enjoyed Endurance. I thought the pace and level of detail for both were a good balance between informative and approachable. Any recommendations for other similar historical disasters?
