So I’ve just started book 1 as the graphic audio version and I can already tell that I’m going to want to continue the series. However…the graphic audio books have several months of wait time on Libby, whereas the regular audiobooks are available to borrow now. For those that have read the series, are the graphic audiobooks worth the wait?

How can you tell if a cover is Ai ? Or if the book is written by AI? I know people say there are signs but what are the signs? I’m not online if I don’t have to be and avoid AI like the plague so I’m not familiar but would like to avoid it while reading books. Any tips?

I was just thinking about this common adjective, being a well-read person, and my next thought was: what a great topic for the book club!

In a general sense I've been trying to become a more cultured person through my reads (of course I still read silly fun things), mainly because I love to catch conexions and references in movies or in books. A lot of media has inspirations, symbols and metaphors, like the black cat from Poe tales, and this is used to convey more profound meanings and adding an extra layer. It helps me to inhabit the world better, to interpret what surrounds me. I also love to just create this conexions myself hahaha.

Books are also a really cool way of getting to know other cultures, like the japanese or the russians. That's why I like reading classics from different places, times and authors. And ngl, quoting a random book or recommending a read to a person that is going through something really specific is always cool. Furthermore, the more you read, the harder it is to deceive you. Now, enough yapping from me. I want to hear your opinions.

🔸What traits must someone have for you to consider them a well-read? 🔸Are you actively doing something to be well-read?

Anyone else not able to get cover images to load on desktop (Chrome)? Or just me? I cleared my cache and everything already but maybe I have a really poor connection lately

That one quote that’s stuck with you. Whether because it was tuff, because it was profound, because it gave you an epiphany, because it was that funny, etc. What’s that one book quote that’s stuck with you? Recently or way back in the past. I’m kinda asking this out of boredom, and maybe looking for new books. Or I can put them on some bookmarks.

(I’m very bad at remembering exact quotes lol. I remember that one line in Remarkably Bright Creatures where Marcellus goes like “Day insert number here, oh let’s just cut the crap”. See? Very bad at remembering. One I kinda remember is from Lies My Teacher Told Me, “If this country is so great, then why must we lie?”. So I guess I’m not that bad at remembering).
