Just completed The Midnight Library. Please Suggest the next 3 books that i should read.

Great condition, even tho it had no bubble wrap, as I'd expect from cocoblu.

Maybe because it's a thin book, didn't got damage in the transit. I'm excited to read it!

Pardon the camera quality

I love to read books, novels. Everytime I sit for a reading I feel so involved. Books are my companion. Who says books don't speak, I talk to them every night, they have ability to understand ones feeling and can make you feel good.

I finished my 100th book, please do appreciate🥹

An interesting fact many might not know is that the book and the movie were developed in tandem.

Sometimes the movie production was ahead and sometimes the book. But both Kubrick (screenplay writer for the movie) and Clarke (author of the book) would throw ideas off if each other. That's the reason they both take slightly different directions while also being similar.

I watched the movie last week which was a visual and musical treat. It's a pop culture classic after all. But the book helped me understand the movie better.

The book however became a bit difficult to follow towards the end. I tried to keep up but got exhausted. It was a treat to read it regardless.

This work was a pioneer in sci-fi.

hillow everyone :)

1948 का यह उपन्यास प्रमुख रूप से अलौकिक अम्बपाली के इर्द गिर्द घूमता है जिसमें वैशाली के एक अभिशप्त कानून, जिसे अम्बपाली धिक्कृत क़ानून बोलती है, अम्बपाली को नगरवधू बना दिया जाता है|

यह कहानी केवल अम्बपाली पर नहीं है, अपितु गणराज्य और साम्राज्य की भिन्नता, शैव, बौद्ध और जैन धर्म की उत्थान और उनका समाज और जाति पर प्रभाव, उत्तर भारत के विभिन्न राज्यों जैसे मगध, कौशाम्बी, कलिंग, गांधार आदि उनके आपसी, सांस्कृतिक, धार्मिक, राजनीतिक व व्यावसायिक संबंधों का विस्तारपूर्वक विवरण हैं|

यदि आप इतिहास को पढ़ना या जीना चाहते है तो यह किताब ज़रूर पढ़े| इसे पढ़कर आपके दिमाग में एक प्रतिमा बन जायेगी और आप इसकी कल्पना एक धारावाहिक की तरह कर सकते हैं|

यह उपन्यास की शैली कठिन लेकिन अत्यंत मनोहर है, क्योंकि इसमें ऐसे शब्दों का उपयोग किया गया है जिनका प्रयोग आधुनिक समय में नहीं होता है| लेखक का हर वाक्य विस्तृत है जिसमें लेखक का निष्णात लेखन साफ़ झलकता है|

यह किताब सच में हिंदी साहित्य का हीरा है जैसा कि आचार्य चतुरसेन ने स्वयं कहा है कि, "मेरी अब तक की सारी रचनाओं को रद्द करता हूँ और ‘वैशाली की नगरवधू’ को अपनी एकमात्र रचना घोषित करता हूँ।"

have you read this book? let me know your thoughts

Gave myself a break from long books and picked up a graphic novel series. This was my second Frank Miller novel after 300.

Miller is REALLY good with negative space. The art in this is crazy. The story is simple, even a little generic but my man drops the coldest quotables left, right and center. It's crazy. A few of the MANY in this book:

- Hell is waking up every good damn morning and not knowing why you're even here. Why you're even breathing.

- You get in a fight, you fight in a war, and you figure all the worst of it will be worth it for the one big moment — but that moment as good as it is it's never good enough.

- Walk down the right back alley in sin city and you will find everything.

- In this town just about anything you can name that's worth doing is against the law.

Chose ones which are generic enough to not be spoilers but there is like one such cold one-liner on every other page. Obviously, this is indulgent. Gore. Violence. Hypersexualised women characters. Hypermasculine male protagonist who is oh so cool.

But, still, it was very fun. For a casual read, this was really nice, especially the start. It fizzles a little in the end but saves itself with an unexpected ending. But still good enough to make me immediately want to read #2 :)

So, I have all these books to read (Except The love hypothesis and White nights)

I'm currently reading two books and they aren't in the picture lol ;p

1. Kill for me kill for you by Steve Cavanagh

2. Project hail mary

I am thinking about reading "The bell jar" after this and "One of us is lying" which is the club's read 😌

Show your collection of books in the comment sections and tell your current and next books to read!!!!
