No titles, no authors, not a word about the romance tropes used or the snappy way itโs been glazed on social media.
Tell me about the overarching themes that made you โผ๏ธ about it.

๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ.
Buku ini adalah wujud absurdisme untuk pemula.
๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ข Ending buku ini membuat saya menangis karena relevan dengan konflik batin saya; penyesalan, rasa bersalan, dan membenci diri sendiri. Baik Pak Tua maupun saya, kami sama-sama perlu belajar untuk mengampuni diri.
๐๐ง๐ข ๐๐ฎ๐ค๐ฎ ๐๐จ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ฉ๐, ๐๐ข๐ก? Ini bukan novel misteri, jadi jangan harap mendapat jawaban. Kamu akan menemukan banyak keanehan karena novel ini adalah novel absurdis. Absurdisme mengacu pada pandangan bahwa dunia itu tidak jelas dan tanpa arah, sama seperti mobil Pak Tua yang berkeliling pulang Jawa. Melaju tanpa tujuan. Singgah tanpa menetap.
Namun, karena itulah novel mengajak kita untuk tidak menyalahkan diri sendiri. Banyak hal di luar kendali, maka seharusnya tidak menyalahkan diri atas apa yang telah diusahakan sebaik mungkin.
Novel ini juga mengajak kita merenungkan perbedaan tipis antara Yang Hidup dan Yang Mati. Ada orang hidup seperti mati (Pak Tua), ada orang mati seperti hidup (Adik Hantu).
๐๐๐ค๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง Rasanya buku ini bisa dipangkas hingga 50 halaman, karena jujur, bagian tengah (50 halaman setelahnya) bikin BOSAN. Alurnya agak melambat di situ. Ironis, padahal Pak Tua suka ngebut. Baru masuk 170 halaman terakhir, mulai kembali menarik.
๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ง Pak Tua memang gagal belajar untuk mengampuni dirinya, tetapi Adik hantu dan kita belajar; [...] ๐ข๐ฌ๐ถ ๐ต๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ช ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ข ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐ช ๐ช๐ต๐ถ. ๐๐ถ๐จ๐ข, ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฅ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ค๐ข๐ณ๐ข ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ต๐ช ๐ช๐ต๐ถ (hlm. 199).

Every once in a while Iโll go through some reviews of books Iโve read just to see what other people think. And something Iโve noticed is that thereโs a good amount of people who donโt like slice of life moments or detours when theyโre reading.
This got me thinking about the shift away from 20+ episode seasons on tv and the cutting of filler episodes.
I, for one, love slice of life moments in books and filler episodes are often some of my favorite episodes in tv. To me, some of the best character moments come from them. Not development, but moments. Something small that tells you these characters have lives beyond what weโre given as an audience. (Please. Some shows need more than 8 episodes, executives.)
So, is there a correlation? If you like little sidetracks in your books, do you also like filler episodes? Do you not like either? One but not the other? (Iโm particularly interested in the why on this one)

HOW TO BE A DICTATOR (irony)
ETA: People seem to be missing the point. We need to be informed, so we don't fall on the same mistakes. Biographies of the worldโs most notorious dictators, but also their own manifestos and speeches. Figures such as Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao stand before you, their lives and their own words entwined. Let's discern the thoughts that shaped their actions, and the convictions that enabled them to seize and maintain absolute power to never let it happen again.

Akhirnya selesai. Review di profil atau bisa dilihat di bagan "review" di forum.
0necromancer finished reading and wrote a review...
Mungkin jika saya punya impresi pertama yang bagus kepada Ziggy, saya tidak akan terlalu sinis membaca buku ini. Awalnya saya berniat memberikan bintang 1, tetapi saya lumayan suka beberapa penggalan-penggalan di dalamnya.
Bagi yang bingung dengan tema buku ini, dalam kulit kacang: perempuan. Ini buku tentang perempuan, kelahiran perempuan, kehidupan perempuan, rasa sakit perempuan, kematian perempuan, dan perempuan di hidup perempuan lain atau yang bukan perempuan.
"Tiga dalam Kayu" terbagi atas dua bagian. Bagian pertama adalah kumpulan bab ditandai sebagai "buku 1", "buku 2", dst. dengan tokoh berbeda-beda. Baguan kedua fokus pada satu tokoh, yaitu "aku"โsebenarnya seorang pak tuaโpada bab dengan judul anagram (atau mungkin hanya omong kosongnya Ziggy).
Untuk memahami bagian pertama mengapa ditulis seperti itu, kalian harus memahami ucapan gadis di perpustakaan pada bagian kedua. Dan juga monolog si Aku di halaman 140; sejarah yang diajarkan bukanlah tentang orang, tapi tentang "semua orang". Mungkin karena itu, tidak banyak yang kita pelajari dari sana tentang bagaimana memperlakukan orang. Pandangan untuk melihat sejarah tidak sebagai kolektif, tetapi satuan individual dan fokus tidak pada orang-orang besar, melainkan orang-orang kecil adalah aliran pemahaman posmodernisme sejarah. Cara pandang ini tidak melihat sejarah dari tokoh terkenal sebagai suatu glorifikasi, tetapi lebih manusiawi. Menyorot tokoh yang kurang dikenal. Dalam perpanjangan tangannya ialah perempuan.
"Tiga dalam Kayu" bukan contoh prima dari novel beraliran absurdisme. I've seen better. Contohnya, "Di Jok Belakang" karya Lamia Putri Damayanti. Namun, itu masalah preferensi. Dan kebetulan buku ini bukan. Bagia kalian yang bingung membacanya, jangan merasa inferior dan bodoh. Novel absurdis memang seperti itu. Tidak untuk dibaca sekali dua kali.

I recommend you to read Gerr by Joko Pinurbo if you want fiction with absurdism. Gerr is a theater script that not meant to be acted on stage. Although I read Gerr due to assignment, but I got enjoyment from how incoherent batsh!t it was. I feel I like I was flying hard by Fox Glue.

I'm so tired with all my school stuff going on, and I am looking for books that are just a happy, good time.
I don't want to walk into a book with something depressing or heavy in it.
Looking for recommendations: Cozy, or funny, or just happy. All the good emotions! Can be any genre!

Does anyone have any fun habits to share that they've noticed since starting to use PageBound?
For instance, I have really started noticing certain usernames (hello, online friends!) and it reminds me of my Tumblr days in highschool. Internet friends are friends, mom!
Also, I find myself singing " love in this club" whenever I head over to check club posts hehe

Iโve recently started taking notes, writing, etc. in my books in an attempt to better engage with the content and stay focused while reading. Iโm only using a pencil (Blackwing pearl, big fan) to underline and make notes in the margins about my reactions, thoughts, language I like and definitions for words I donโt know.
Iโve seen some people use highlighters, colored pens, sticky notes, colored tabs, etc. when reading but Iโm unsure if I want to explore more intense note taking like that. Iโd love to hear from other note takes about their styles and tools they use ๐
Do you take notes while reading? If so, what do you focus on? What note taking tools do you utilize? Do you feel like note taking has improved your reading experience? If so, how?

I'm a really quick reader and when I have the time I can blast through 3 500+ page books in a day, especially if the books are good! That being said, reading so many so quickly can really open my eyes about just how repetitive so many of the stories I read are. Eventually, it can feel like I'm just reading the same story over and over and over. So, are there any good books you know of that DON'T feel like that?
My favorite books are fantasy leaning on the dark side, with unique and well-rounded characters, strong writing style, and some romance (not huge on spice). Think Six of Crows and The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo, Katabasis by R. F. Kuang, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, or Book of Night by Holly Black. I'd love some recommendations for books with unique characters and prose, that don't pigeonhole themselves into marketable tropes. Any ideas?

i find myself wishing there was a way to add my childhood reads to "read" without having to post-date it/add it to your finished list. i think it would be a really fun feature that none of the other apps have.
for example: i read all of hp, hunger games, twilight, etc. when i was a kid and would like that to reflect in my past reads but not affect my current library.
does anyone here have a solve for this? is it as simple as creating a "childhood finished shelf" and adjusting the dates? am i all alone in this?
