Currently reading Empire V by Victor Pelevin. I really love Pelevin's novels almost read all of it (luckily almost all of his novels are translated to hungarian). Not sure if this is available in english, but there are a few available in english so I recommend those to check out as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_V

Currently reading I May Be Wrong by Björn Natthiko Its greatest strength is its simplicity no preaching, no complicated philosophy just practical wisdom about uncertainty, inner peace, and being a little kinder to ourselves and others Highly recommended 👌🏻

i really loved this book the amount of work that goes into a dictionary listing gave me a feeling of comfort knowing there are people out there that care about things that aren’t obviously in need of care

Can you imagine Robert Langdon walking across Charles Bridge in Prague? That's how The Secret of Secrets starts, Dan Brown's sixth Langdon novel. It blends ancient myth with modern science, and reading it feels like opening a secret door inside the mind.

I just finished all five books of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What a wild ride! I didn't expect it to be so weird and clever. I loved it. Before I hunt down the sixth book, I'm switching things up with something totally different. Anyone else read this series? Or have a book you think I should try next? 👀

📚 Book Introduction: The Barracks Thief 🖋️ Author: Tobias Wolff Summary: The Barracks Thief is a novel by Tobias Wolff, first published in 1986. The story follows three young men — Philip, Hubbard, and Lewis — who enlist in the army during the Vietnam War. Among them is a thief who steals wallets from fellow soldiers in the barracks. But this is not a typical mystery novel, since the identity of the thief is revealed halfway through the narrative. The real focus of the story lies not in the thefts, but in how these fragile characters search for love and peace in a world that seems unwilling to show them kindness. This longing for love and belonging shapes each of their lives in different ways. The Barracks Thief is ultimately about friends who are strangers to one another, and men struggling to build a sense of family that will last.

I asked a librarian if they had any books on paranoia. She whispered, "They're right behind you!" What do you suggest? 👀

📚 Book suggestions : Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino "Imagine a city that never existed, yet always lived in a memory, a dream, or a desire." In Invisible Cities, Marco Polo recounts his travels to Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor But the cities he describes , each with a woman’s name , are not literal places They are reflections of memory, longing, signs, time, identity. Written in poetic, philosophical prose, Calvino presents 55 imaginary cities across 9 chapters and 11 thematic categories Each city is a breath of dream, a mirror into what it means to be human https://lithub.com/the-timeless-magic-of-italo-calvinos-invisible-cities-at-50/

"A person who’s truly felt real pain isn't afraid of anything , not even death." Dostoevsky . . . And honestly, once you’ve been to that dark place once there’s nothing left to lose a strange feeling shows up... a kind of bitter calm, but it’s freeing Like pain burned everything down and from the ashes, a weird kind of freedom is born One you wouldn’t trade for anything

Yes, man has a difficult life. I believe the best definition one can give of man is this: “Man is a creature who gets used to everything.” ✍: Fyodor Dostoevsky 📕 From the book: “Notes from the House of the Dead”

Definitely worth a read if you haven’t read it yet… I’m half way through the second book in series and hooked … Stephen Fry really has a way with words… 4 Books in the series; Mythos, Heroes, Troy and Odyssey.
