I'm trying to read more Indian authors. I am spanish so ideally, they should be authors who have been translated internationally. Please write on here your recs!! I'll give you one, is a book called: 🔸Ghachar Ghochar from Vivek Shanbhag

I keep wondering why my reading streak keep breaking, when i was in fact reading every day. Today i realized that i usually finish reading at 12 (night), when i go to bed. That's when i was recording my progress HAHAHAHA. So yes, obviously the application was detecting it as if it were the next day. Is not an app issue, is a me issue.

Hello everyone! I am currently reading North Woods by Daniel Mason, and it reminded me of this specific type of book; now I want to make a list! I hope this doesn't feel like yet another post about book recs; I'm looking for something fairly niche for my list.

There is a certain type of book I like to call "window books." It is a book where nothing really happens. It's like you're looking through a window into the character(s)'s life... the curtain opens, we observe, and then the curtain closes. Most of the time, there is no "resolution." You are around for a section of the journey, and then it carries on without you. I don't know if it has an actual name or not, but I'd like to make a list of these books!

This is where I need help-- I need two more books to actually create the list. So far, I have:

1. North Woods
2. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-time
3. The Grapes of Wrath (I think this falls into this category.. but it's been years since I read it)

My criteria is fairly strict. The books cannot have the typical path of a novel with climax-resolution. The book might be extremely mundane. We should feel like the book ended but the story continued, like peeking into the window of someone's life. I hope this makes enough sense that I get a few recommendations for my list (and my TBR)!

• What constitutes as a readathon? Are they a certain amount of books read or within a period of time?
• Do they happen every year or are they a one off?
• How are you finding them and what are your favorites to participate in?

Readathons is not something I’ve heard of before this app and I’ve been seeing a lot of mentions of them. Let’s do a deep dive on what they are together! Enlighten me.

hello!

lately, i've been thinking about making a personal literature curriculum for myself since i've noticed that my knowledge beyond basic analytic skills is lacking. especially since i come from a non-english speaking country where the main point of our english classes was to teach us the language rather than teach us any analysis or history, etc.

since this is a place full of avid readers, i thought this'll be my best bet to gather some sources and starting points for my personal syllabus. for the main part, the first act of this curriculum would be based on english literature. what is the best point to start for this? should i go with a particular uni's syllabus and tweak it? any and all tips are appreciated!

help me, oh my fellow nerds 💜
