We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite
Musa al-Gharbi
gucciboots commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
Back in 2018/2019, I started my TBR list. I have not fully transferred my TBR over to Pagebound, and honestly, I dont think I will because on here, I have 30 (off the top of my head), whilst on Goodreads, its over 2000. It's just easier to plan over here and looks neater, lol. My physical TBR is probably around 100, and I've sworn off buying more than 12 books this year (one for each month). So far, I've only bought one. How big is your TBR, and have you ever decided culled some of it, or just let it grow? I cannot for the life of me cull any of mine 💔 I love reading everything!

This isn't specific to English & Irish literature, but I saw this list of 100 classics posted by macrolit on Tumblr and it got me wondering how much overlap we all have. Even though I consider myself to be pretty well-versed in classics, I was surprised that i've only read 19 on this list! How about y'all? 👀

Japanese Literary Fiction 🇯🇵👤💭
🏆 // 726 joined

From the provocative and challenging to the emotional and quiet, Japanese literary fiction tends to be nuanced, introspective, and minimalistic. These books contain layered cultural commentary and may lean on psychological, surreal, or fantastical elements to convey their message.
