Here we find a 24 year old hopeless romantic searching for new favorite books because all of their faves turned out to be bigots or worse. Worst case scenario, they write their own favorite book.

  • Highlighting?

    Hear me out. Would it be possible to implement a highlight feature to the book forums? Would anyone else like it? I feel like the House of Leaves forum would overuse that feature. Sometimes I feel like I am discussing so many themes and things and I think highlighting to differentiate or even as a way to make things pop would be interesting, would it not?

  • Bookish icks

    Hello !

    I was wondering if some of you have some bookish icks ? Not something that will make you dnf the book, but something that will still annoy you.

    I feel like I'm crazy to be annoyed by such a little detail, for me it's a first ever penetrative sex (whatever the book genre) described as the best thing ever, heaven-like, full of pleasure by a cis woman. I don't think it is a global experience, and I'm just like 🙄 when I read that. Maybe I'm really crazy ? 😂

  • How Do You Meet Other Book Lovers IRL?

    I am 24 and adulthood is so difficult because it's just work and home and occasionally the library or a store. How do I get some book nerd friends in my area aside from the library? I have been pin maxxing and trying to look more approachable but it feels like no one wants to talk to me tbh.

  • All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today
    Thoughts from 88% (page 285)

    "There is no situation in which a thirty-five-year-old healthy man would have his testicles removed to prevent testicular cancer, and would not be given back full-blast testosterone, even if there was some small future risk of cancer," she says.

    Indeed, it's striking that even as we've made incredible progress into treating diseases that used to be a death sentence, the medical system has not matched this progress with an equal commitment to ensuring that patients not only survive but thrive -- and that in our mad rush to keep women from dying, we aren't doing things that make their remaining years a misery. But when it comes to women's health, medicine still struggles to weigh the costs and benefits of survival -- or the question of quantity over quality of life -- in the same way it has always done for men. As Roche points out, "We don't say to old men, 'Hey, your erectile function is part of "natural" aging, accept it.' We developed a billion-dollar industry to help them. But women... We resign that it's 'natural' for them to suffer."
