“No, yeah, my favorite movie is The Wolf of Wall Street, it’s such a blunt, unflinching portrayal—Scorsese really just looks into the American soul, you know?”

Wincing, Lili drains her drink.

If she has to start her Friday night listening to second-year analysts mansplain derivatives and trading options, she’s within her rights to fleece them of outrageously expensive cocktails and consider it retributive justice for the subprime mortgage crisis and credit discrimination on behalf of the proletariat.

AHHHHHHHH THEY DIDNT COMPLETELY CUT THE ORIGINAL OPENING!! This is such a palpable, iconic grouping of lines. I’ve been OBSESSED. It’s so fucking relatable, but also hilarious.

I have so rarely come across works that capture so well what it feels to have politics and social justice invade literally every part of how you think about and interact with the world, and Volkova does such a good job of capturing the vibe. I love! Uhg!

Hello PB beauties!

I want to know your literary “hear me out”!

This is anything book related that may be an unpopular opinion or even controversial 😏 just remember to keep the comments kind!

Some examples are (but are not limited to):

• character traits
• tropes
• kinks
• author prose
• narrator POV
• where and when you read

The sky is the limit and I want to hear them all 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

I know this will be controversial here but I’m looking for some advice. Im not trying to rage bait or anything like that so please don’t turn this into a moral standoff. I would also like to say that I’ve read problematic authors in the past before I knew what they did and I’m trying to be better about what I choose to read! Anyway, How do you guys go about reading problematic authors if you haven’t read them before? I’m interested in reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and I’ve heard things about him so what’s the best way to read his books without supporting him or should I just skip his books altogether? What do you do about problematic authors in general? Again, this is from a point of curiosity and learning!!

is there a type of reading that makes you want to just i just got an employment contract and i donot want to read it (legalese makes me angry) but i must 😭😭🤧🤧👊👊

If you could pack one suitcase and move into any fictional home immediately - where are you going?

Drafty castles absolutely count. So do crooked cottages, dramatic cliffside mansions, hobbit holes, chaotic city apartments, enchanted libraries, and suspiciously affordable small-town farmhouses.

Are you:

🌧️ Living your best moody life in a crumbling estate?

🌿 Baking bread in a cozy woodland cottage?

📚 Secretly hoping your house comes with hidden passageways and a mildly concerning attic?

🕯️ Choosing vibes over structural integrity?

Drop the book + the home + one reason you’d survive (or absolutely wouldn’t).

Bonus: what’s the first thing you’re decorating or rearranging when you move in?

Let’s see where PageBound is relocating.
