What a letter.

"To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul"

good, I liked it. his way of writing is distinct. the very end lost me however

Tap in.

f***in hell

Keep trying to get a copy of this but I don’t know if it’s out of print because I can never find it in stores and it’s always fairly expensive online.

get yourself a used kindle a few generations old off ebay for like 40 bucks bro and then hit z-library for damn near every book you could ever want for free. i used to be paper pilled but im too poor to buy everything i wanna read. i actually just got an e-ink phone which has upped my reading time even more now im reading minimum couple hours everyday but even before with the kindle i was readin way more than when i relied on libraries and bookstores

I don’t know, I’ve tried CloudLibrary with an iPad and I don’t really gel with reading off a tablet for whatever reason.

ipad way different from a small ereader imo. my joint fit in my pocket. also just gaslight yourself into liking it lol we all read soooo much on our phones and s*** but just bcoz its not a proper book and instead is sm posts and forum posts its fine like whats that about?

Will tune in for one last dance of 2025 with my final few books shortly

Been reading three hard ahh books,
Valter Hugo Mãe and Gabo

Feel compelled to read the Wizard of Oz series. Anyone have any experience with it?

f*** man

Soooooo so so so so good. We had to read it in high school and I deadass felt something shift when I finished it. Apparently it's a trilogy, I have not read the other two though

felt something shift

you said it man. wish i read this s*** in high school!

and yeah i feel like theres no way the next two can hold a candle to how good this one was

i will probably read a few other books before i try the next in the trilogy but i have to give them a shot at least

I hate America so much man. Also maybe I'm communist now?

10/10 book, going to try and get everyone I know to read it.

The Magus by John Fowles (1965) 672 pages

mysterious novel about a young, listless British man in the sixties who accepts a teaching job on a Greek island and slowly gets pulled into the world of a millionaire who lives there. touching on occult, erotic, and psychological themes, this was a well written novel and Fowles keeps the reader guessing with unreliable characters and a story that goes in unexpected directions. didn't love the ending but I was enthralled throughout the book and the story and characters were well worth the read

8.4/10

The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler (1993) 368 pages
The Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler (1998) 448 pages

two book speculative fiction series about a young woman trying to survive in a somewhat post-apocalyptic United States. first time I've read Butler and really liked how she wrote interesting storylines rooted in the humanity of her characters. was also pretty crazy to read these novels that are based in the 2020s/2030s and realize that we're not that far off from the dystopian image of the country. liked the first book a bit better than the second but both were good and I'll definitely read more Butler sometime

8.2/10
7.9/10

That's one hellova cover for The Magus might have to look into that but man 600+ pages would be a task

ngl it did drag at times but the mystery and plot twists make it more of a page turner than the length would suggest

definitely recommend it if the premise interests you

If on a winters night a traveler by Italo Calvino

A one of a kind book. At times I didn't know what the hell was going on. But it was enjoyable.

Read this a few years ago and still think about it a lot. Great book. Annoyingly the other Calvino's I've tried since haven't really done a lot for me

I really enjoyed Cosmicomics if you haven't tried that yet i recommend. It's a short story compilation so not a great commitment.

Just finished Stoner. Beautiful book. Immediately one if my favorites

this book did nothing to make him look good. the only parts that made him look like a normal person were the chapters about his daughter. overall entertaining book about an incredibly self centered man.

last book of 2025, 24 in total
