A lot of people on the forum are comparing Lord Henry to modern red pill podcasters influencing their young male audience and it’s actually making me feel a bit more sympathetic to Dorian lol. I find myself really frustrated by how easily suggestible Dorian is, but then I think about young boys getting into looksmaxing and manoshpere content today and I’m like, oh, I guess I see why he is Like That.

Lord Henry: Exists Me:

i loved reading fiction as a kid, but as an adult i can only seem to actually finish nonfiction books, like self-help, memoirs, and books about psychology, mental health, or neurodivergence.

i want to get back into fiction but i'm struggling. i'm currently reading the first book of Blake Crouch's Wayward Pines series, and re-reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes (which was a favorite of mine back in the day), but it's slow-going so far. i miss getting so into books that i can't put them down.

i'd love any recommendations, or even just solidarity from anyone else who might be struggling with the same thing! ❤️

As the title says, my resolution is to rate books harsher. I saw my Wrap Up for this year and went back through my ratings and went, 'I rated that way too high' about a bunch of books I read in 2025. Do you ever look back and think you rated books too high or too low?

I want to know what book or movie broke you . For me, it was The Bridge to Teribitha after finding out it's a true story, except a slight change with the death scene

Anyone have any recs for creative nonfiction books they've read?

I don't have any particular topic in mind, I just enjoy learning in general and would love to read some books that you all have found to be interesting, informative, and engaging ♥️

I love seeing what people, topics, etc. everyone finds interest in reading about, and I love books that aim to educate in a non textbook manner if that makes sense
