personally, i picked mostly childhood favourites because they felt like a safe choice!

how did you guys pick? are they the books that emotionally scarred you the most? the ones you find most relatable? or just your absolute favourite, nothing deeper ✨

i’d love to know!

Hey all, did you see this news? It looks like just a trial so far, but thoughts on how we can push back and get them to rehire their human translators?

I feel like one you have to read for school might not, but if I’m pulling through a textbook I willingly chose to read to learn something or become smarter in a topic, I’d want to celebrate when I’m done with it, right? Especially with languages or if the textbook was boring. But idk, what are people’s opinions?

How do you feel about DNF? I’m not liking one rn for a quest I’m in but I’m feeling guilty to DNF. Is it just a me thing?

i'm curious if this is just me, but i was scrolling through old presentations the other day and found my sophomore year presentation for The Potrait of a Lady by Henry James (a book i chose to read for our quarterly reading assignment) and don't remember anything about reading the book, where i got the book from, or giving the presentation. this also happened to me with Shadow and Bone- i found a stack of old library receipts, and that book was on there and i was like... i READ THAT? (turns out yes. yes i did.)

this is so odd to me because i can remember random details from a book i read years ago but can't remember entire books i've read. so i'm genuinely curious: has anyone else experienced book amnesia?

Is anyone here also a writer? Where can we buy your books? My debut is still a WIP!

Okay fellow Pagebound users I have a question for you! When you are reading a book what do you see? This sounds crazy but I had a conversation with my sister and we both agree we visualize the characters and everything that happens pretty vividly like we are there with the characters or maybe like a movie, sometimes even smells or feelings based on what we’re reading. however I asked another friend and they said they just see words on a page??? 🤔🤔I have done some googling and it appears there is a gradient of what people see when they picture an image or read a book? This is news to me as I thought the appeal of reading is to vividly hallucinate to, if you think about it….ink shapes on dead trees? Anyways wondering if anyone has anything to add to this lol - I may delete this as it might not make any sense but I hope it does🤔

Hi!! So, a while ago, I made a post regarding comic books & discovered that a decent amount of Pagebound-ers are interested in reading them. However, they have no idea where to begin. Well... I created a shelf on my page with introductory-level comic books for new readers or those with some experience in the world of Heroes, at a movie level. 🎥💥 Truthfully, I wanted to make it a quest (b/c that would keep the superhero theme), but couldn't. Regardless, if you're looking for a sign to get into Comic Books in ✨2026✨let this be your sign & let me be your sidekick! Your Alfred! Your Aunt May! Your- wait, I'm sure you get my drift! 😅

That being said, if you have experience reading comic books or are a fan of the movies... Who is your comic book wife/husband/spouse?? 🖤 Nightwing is my choice, specifically when Babs Tarr draws him... iykyk👀

Even though English is not my first language, I tend to read more literature from English-speaking countries. I want to expend my knowledge of different cultures and so I’m trying to read books from all around the world! Any genre is fine (though I read more fiction than non-fiction), I just want to read more translated books. What are your favorite non-English books?
