    How is no one reading this book?!

    I’m loving the glimpses we’re starting to get of King Sorrow, I imagine that will be where the horror starts to creep in.

    “Freedom in the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows”

    This book is really dense, but so interesting. It’s just quote after quote. I’m curious to see if it will be more plot focused beyond the first big chapter or if it’ll mostly be philosophical like it is now.

  • How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
    introduction

    xix- "just as practices like logging and large-scale farming decimate the land, an overemphasis on performance turns what was once a dense and thriving landscape of individual and communal thought into a Monsanto farm whose ‘production’ slowly destroys the soil until nothing more can grow."

    I can tell this is going to be very dense, but I’m already very intrigued by her ideas and the writing style

    I can’t believe it’s taken me sooooo long to read this classic! It’s been a little bit of a slog (the writing is DENSE) but I’ve been enjoying it thoroughly! There are definitely some points later where I’m like ‘bro how do you guys not foresee what’s going to happen here’ but that is the art of horror I think. It relies on the foreshadowing to build tension.

  • Adding Books to PB - What am I doing wrong?

    I’ve been trying for weeks now to add books to Pagebound, but they haven’t been added. I just started one of the books and wanted to mark it as currently reading, but it’s still not popping up. I submitted the link again about 40 minutes ago and nothing. I’ve submitted the GR links on the app, as well as on the website, but nothing seems to be working. Is there something I’m not doing right?

  • Future classics

    I love reading classic novels and as I was reading jane eyre today, it got me thinking, what books would you consider to be modern classics or what books do you think will become classics in the future?

    I’m really interested in seeing what everyone thinks ☺️

    Creepy child, weird narrator and a cat that reads the Bible? I feel like I just picked the perfect book for Halloween week.
