There was a post on the bookshelfdetective subreddit and they had the series Red Rising, Dungeon Crawler Carl, Dune, The Expanse, everything written by Brandon Sanderson, et al.

So I commented that those are all my favourites and people downvoted me. Is it lame to like these books? I don’t understand why people roll their eyes so hard when I say I like to read popular YA fiction

re-reading books has always been an off the course exercise for me. i've never re-read a book so if someone has reread books, could you please share your experiences as for me it sounds very boring exercise irrespective how much i appreciate the book. is it alike rewatching a movie ? especially for non-fictions or maybe biographies or sci-fi fictions ? i've been reading non-fiction for a while, and feel saturated maybe, should i move into sci-fiction ? considering, my capitalistic mindset, i've never read something truly off the chart so any suggestions would be appreciated. thank you very much :)

hey readers ,I never annotated my books but I realized that writing makes me understand things more and I don't know really how people annotate their books.
I'm looking for advice and techniques on how to get the most out of books, I meanly read classics, non fiction book evolving around different topics : neurology, neuroscience , psychology, philosophy...

What are you reading? What are you excited about reading next? What have you finished this week? Let us know your thoughts on it and share in each other's joy about books!

I didn’t read growing up and found I love it so every now and then I pick up a YA book to see what I missed out on.

Ive started reading Making Sense of War by Alan Stephens and Nicola Baker. it’s my first time picking up something so different from my usual genre, and honestlyy, I’m finding it a bit challenging.

I’m used to getting lost in stories, characters & fictional worlds. here, isometimes have to reread a paragraph just to properly understand the point being made.

for those who read nonfiction regularly, does this get easier with time!? do you take notes while reading, or just keep going and trust that things will eventually click!!
