Not sure if this is the place to ask, but it has to do with reading, so why not! Cause I'm in college, I have the "joy" of being forced to read long research papers. This week's reading is 87 pages of dense academic words, complete with footnotes that are longer than most novels and an abstract that requires its own abstract to understand. I personally read it three times...once by accident, once in denial, and once while sobbing into my coffee at 3:00 am this morning (please someone save me). It's not like I don't like what these research papers are about, it's just A LOT. So I'm asking if anyone has cracked the code on getting through research papers without losing the will to live. If so, PLEASE share your secrets! 🥹

Real quick… part 10?!?! Holy moly!! 10 weeks of complaining and supporting each other🫶🏼
You know the drill.. what was a complaint (no matter how big, small, dramatic, silly, serious, etc) that happened in the past week that you need to shout to the void?!💭

Hello everyone, A close friend of mine's birthday is coming up, and I would like to buy her a book, but I am having trouble finding what I think she would like. She told me the other day that she really loved Meursault's emotional detachment from The Stranger by Albert Camus, but I haven't been able to find anything that matches that. She also really enjoys sapphic books (and fanfiction). I'm not really sure if there is an overlap between The Stranger and Sapphic books, but I thought I would ask anyway 😭 Any recommendations from anyone would be incredible. I can also answer any other questions about her reading taste if needed. Thank you all!

I genuinely love when books have such gorgeous writing, specifically in the use of describing landscapes.
“The forest opens in an irregular very picturesque glade before its gate, and right at the steep Gothic Bridge carries the road over a stream that winds in deep shadow through the wood.”
Like how stunning is that imagery, I need to be in a place like that now! Also a perfect setting for this book
