TOPIC: do you guys read books

I agree. I think it also depends on what environment you're raised in, because I was always surrounded by books. There's also the mentality I had where I still read whatever the curriculum didn't prescribe and didn't care for learning quotes in poetry/Shakespeare. In the end I barely passed English, but at least I still enjoy reading.

I mainly read books and a few pdf format of books related to MBT engineering and just tanks and military equipment and war as a subject
Currently reading Tanks: 100 years of evolution
Really really interesting even if you don't like that type of subjects, unsure if it's also on audible but it's goated, i recommend it to anybody that is very curious

Not necessarily books but I read a lot of stuff on this website:

The one I'm reading atm is called Divine Throne of Primordial Blood which I am currently on chapter 107.

I’ve never just said “oh I want to read a book” and read one. Only time I’ve ever read books was for school.

Yeh bro I read Grishams newest novel "The Reckoning". Was pretty fun until I now have to write a 4000 word essay on it which may or may not determine where I can study and my future

Want to read these beauties soon

Totally agree with this, before I thought I hate reading, but thankfully a few years back I found out books are awesome when the deadlines and grades are not included. Haven’t read anything in a few months but I’ve stocked up on a few books and will pick one up soon.

on a more serious note, apart from monogatari i started "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and planning to read "Storm of Steel"

I do not, but I think I should. Not really sure what to start on though, any suggestions?

I typically only read books when I'm away on holiday, but I really should start reading more, it's got loads of benefits and I always enjoy when I do read, but when I'm home I just watch netflix instead.

For Eastern literature, I mostly read Japanese. Authors to look into are Soseki Natsume (Kokoro, I am a Cat) and Osamu Dazai (No Longer Human) of the "classics". More modern would be Ryu Murakami (Audition, Into the Miso Soup) and Haruki Murakami (Sputnik Sweetheart, Norwegian Wood). I REALLY recommend "Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong.

For Western literature, I highly recommend George Orwell's "1984" and "Animal Farm" (Staple reads if you haven't already). "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess and maybe "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. If you like more of science friction, you can never go wrong with H.G Wells (War of Worlds, Island of Dr. Moreu) or Philip K. Dick.

Also what Pigskin mentioned, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" is very short but it's a trip.

Read my stuff iz gud
