anyone familiar with @dearmilkfed on booktok? went down the funniest rabbit hole with her and basically confirmed that her whole schtick is manufactured and she already got ousted as a fraud in the online premed community several years back

f*** it im gonna dive into Tom's Crossing

i respect anyone grifting off booktok

75% Louis CK's novel and its great, havent read Twain since I was a kid but its basically how I remember him but a bit more mature. This one character basically delivers one of his stand up bits which was funny af

whats everyone's favorite place to read? like home, cafe, transit, etc? I realized how laser focused I can get on the subway and I love it

On a bit of a Stephen King kick atm (been jumping back and forth between his works and John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series, which I highly recommend if you’re interested in a quality crime fiction series with some supernatural elements to it), and just finished 11/22/63 and damn, that was legitimately one of his best novels, I can see why it tends to rank so highly.

Gonna start Billy Summers soon and I’ve read really good things about it. Can’t wait.

anybody read this

Elements: Chaos, order and the five elemental forces

by Stephen Ellcock

really enjoying it

Currently reading The Sum of Us by Heather McGee, super informative on race relations in the US and how the history is affecting attitudes rn

Written by a black woman!!

Finally read Metamorphisis and this might be the most hilariously pathetic series of words ive ever read. Not in a way that criticizes it but just the events keep getting worse

a story about the unemployed living in the moms basement experience

Reading dr seuss
What a riveting novel

coffee and a book before work

current reads are:

wuthering heights by emily bronte
blackshirts & reds by michael parenti

wuthering heights one of my fav novels, can’t wait till the movie butchers it

Currently reading:

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

Reading The Sum of Us by Heather McGee currently. Def a book I need to be taking notes on. Its full of stories throughout American history that show just how expensive racism is, and also examples of multi-racial solidarity movements that have worked.

Learning about how subprime loans were peddled to minority communities, and how they financially destroyed lives and families was definitely a wake up call. Its a bit tough retaining all the information within the book but it will be valuable to reference and callback on later.

Makes me wanna write a book report fr. Im about halfway thru currently. Its a tough read for me between the emotional impact of these stories and deciphering phrases and economic terms I'm not too familiar with, but I will keep trucking regardless

Has anyone read 11/22/63. I'm on Part 2 and I have an idea about the ending of the book.

I think the narration style going to turn out to be a manual for someone else to go back to either do it again, or change something even further back. Just how it reads screams it to me

I love when protagonists have great renown in-universe. Like their enemies fear them and their people revere them, but both parties refer to them by the same cool ass nickname.

This has been a constant in just about every science-fiction and fantasy book I’ve read in the last year and I will never get tired of it. Reaper, Halfmortal, Stormblessed, the Dragon Reborn

I’m an easy reader to please. Give a character aura and a cool name and I’m in.

how would u guys feel if your girl was addicted to reading these dark fantasy booktok goonbooks

sometimes a book can be so grimdark i actively do not wanna read it. If most of the book is just bad s*** happening one after the other I either need a break or worst case I put it down and do not pick it back up. I got enough stress irl.

Lmfao this is my life. My partner loves the fantasy romance f***fests and is always reading some wile s***, it's fun. I also love fantasy/sci fi so we can talk a lot about the genre tropes and stuff and I can relate on that level. She hates most of the weird ones about like billionaires making young women their slaves and s*** so at least I don't have to deal with that. And it's like I really enjoy reading as a hobby, it's cool to find someone else who does as well. She finishes like 3 books a week, it's insane

At the end of the day I just view it as genre literature. I enjoy reading the Star Wars books even though they're not smart or complicated by any means, I couldn't judge her for also liking uncomplicated books.
