something like third degree julie cross

I watched a documentary recently about the dangers and deaths on Mt. Everest, and I'd love to read a book by a person who has experienced it firsthand. It all seems so crazy to me, I'd love to get into the mind of someone who was willing to embark on such a dangerous experience. Any recs?

Hello everyone.

I’m looking for some book recommendations to unwind before bed or to kill time during the day when I’m not feeling like studying but still want to be productive. I don’t read much, so I’m hoping for something that’ll really grab my attention. I tried Atomic Habits but didn’t get very far—guess self-help just isn’t for me.

For context, here are a few of my favorite shows, with the top being my absolute favorite:

• Peaky Blinders
• Money Heist
• Narcos
• Tulsa King
• Reacher
• Big Little Lies

I also came across The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway online and liked the description. If anyone’s read it, I’d love to hear your thoughts! I’ve heard it’s about a guy chasing after a girl, who ends up moving on with other people before eventually coming back to him, but he rejects her in the end or something along those lines.

Any recommendations that align with my interest in darker, sad, or introspective stories would be awesome! Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have fallen in love with southern gothic and have read most of Michael McDowells works. I am now just looking for other great southern gothic works please help 🙏

Looking for a book rec with similar vibes as Something in the Orange. TIA!

My favorite game in the world is Life is Strange. Are there any books that have a similar plot or vibe to Life is Strange?

I don’t read too much and want to start reading more. Anyone got some recommendation for a book with good plot twists. For genre I like fantasy and also sci fi but it doesn’t need to fall under those.

I just watched The First Omen(2024) and loved the aesthetic and atmosphere of the movie. Mainly the 1970s-ish Rome setting with nuns/Catholic Church. Anything similar? Doesn't necessarily have to be related to the same subject matter but it helps.

hi! i was looking to see if anyone had any book recommendations that would cover different kinds of silhouettes/collars/sleeve types/closures etc

i have been looking into technical books but found they have mostly been about construction/fit of a garment.

thank you in advance!

Trying to understand why my brain is the way it is

I am looking for a world history book, specifically in Europe or any WW1 and beyond books. I want to gain more insight into the world history. I have heard the Penguin version of Europe is a good read but open to other suggestions!

Hello everyone,

I want to start reading again. But, I do not know where to pick it up again. Thus, I'm asking for any book suggestions. I do not have a favorite book topic or story as I want to read a little of everything. Some of the most recent books that I have read are the following, Fight Club, IT, It Ends with Us, It Starts with Us, The Present, Art and Fear, All the Light We Cannot See. I'm open to reading any books suggested.

Thank you!

Has anyone here read any Patrick Radden Keffe or Johann Hari? Despite both being utterly talentless, they have bother published and sold multiple books. Books so wooden, and so dull, amidst a multitude of other astonishing oversights, that the content and prose border on incoherence.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on book about abuse.. sexual abuse or child abuse type open to suggestions

Any slice of life, autmny, cozy books with flowery prose. No lgbt stuffs, no love triangles, no toxic dramas.

I’m looking for books where the length of each chapter is small (less than 15 pages) and doesn’t require reading the whole book in one go. Ideally, something that’s engaging, insightful, and easy to read in small chunks.

Please help...

Just read Corrosion of Conservatism by Max Boot. I found it a very well-written and fact-driven account of the history of the Republican Party to the present. It did have an opinion slant to it, but the facts were not obscured, sources were cited, and it felt like a well-researched and fact-supported opinion piece. I’d like recommendations that are similarly written, either about the Republican Party or other faucets of history, British, American, or international. Thanks!

I am looking for suggestions for books about differences between Catholicism vs. Protestantism. This could also be books from an ordinary person catholic point of view. I kind of gather there are a lot of similarities, but I am kind of looking for a practical, converting from Protestantism sort of view.

Some books about this are written by priests etc - not sure that is the common point of view and includes lots of stuff which is kind of obvious to someone who is already Christian.

Biographies might be good for this too.

Open to any suggestions

Thanks,

Michael

If anyone is interested in reading psychological book they can get read beyond the weld it's about a guy who struggling with mental issues also hallucinations he's wondering why it's happening to him but it's cuz of a past act he committed which be revealed in book I read its 10/10 you can find it on Amazon by Daniel sehgal

Wanna dive down into Greek mythology, but I don't like dry written books. Does anyone know good written fantasy books about odysseus or other Tales about Greek mythology? Not as a retelling in the modern world. Thx ^^

30m looking to get into reading an engaging series. Got into reading because of the latest Dune movies and finished the first book. Enjoyed the narrative on religion and political drama. Also started the Empyrean series due to my wife’s obsession. Enjoying the light world building with dragons and how their powers work but the writing seems to lack depth.

The world is ending and our lives are so short. I want to live beautifully and fully and consume wonderful art and adore humanity for all its facets. What books have moved you deeply and genuinely? Rumi and Mary Oliver come to mind in the poetry realm for me, but I'd love some suggestions for books!

What the title says, there's been some books that are like this but the most probability is that they're usually in romance books, I'm looking for any that don't have any romance in it, thank you.

I have a Barnes and Nobles gift card burning a hole in my wallet but I need some suggestions for my next read. I typically read fiction novels but I’ve read some nonfiction that was about history.

I love the Harry Bosch novels and the Lincoln Lawyer books, but mystery/crime novels can be hit or miss for me. I also like Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.

I typically like science fiction like Dune, Ready Player One, Railhead by Paul Reeve.

I haven’t been able to find a fantasy book that I enjoy, but I play plenty of fantasy video games like Skyrim and Elden ring and enjoy that environment. The only fantasy books that I really loved were the LOTR, Hobbit, and Harry Potter series.

I would love some suggestions on books you all have read and enjoyed lately!

Any suggestions for a male author that writes a female protagonist convincingly? Looking for historical fiction, but any time period would be great.

I am currently reading Empire of Silence (first book in sun eater series) and even though I'm loving everything about the story I keep losing interest because ruocchio keeps extending himself in pointless descriptions (pointless to me).

I've never quite liked reading descriptions and usually skip them, my mind just doesn't work that way, I want to know what happens, I don't need a detailed description of how you went down to the crypt or whatever.

I don't know if anyone relates, but I'd appreciate a few sci-fi and fantasy recs where this kind of thing is kept to a minimum.

I'd say the expanse and the first law universe are examples of books that kept it to a minimum. Also great indicators of what I like to read.

Other genres highly appreciated as well. I read almost anything.

So I have more days at the Morisaki bookshop so should I read it now or should I read "days at morisaki bookshop" first

I’m almost at the end of Dracula, which is told through diary entries and newspaper articles, all with dates. I’m looking for other books with this format to read in “real time” Any genre :)

Ive been looking for a book that has a similar world to Star Wars. I don’t really want any of the Jedi vs Sith stuff, I want more of a story similar to Andor. I’m looking for a story of people travelling the galaxy. I want to see different syndicates, races, species, everything in the world of Star Wars
