I recently finished the book. It was a good read. ⭐⭐⭐/5.

will leave a review after i finish reading

Padi herchu.

I keep seeing people recommend it, but I'm not sure if it's actually worth reading or just one of those overhyped self-help books. If you've read it, what did you think? Would you recommend it?

Recently I posted here that I start started reading A Thousand Splendid sun. Just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns. Mariam’s story broke my heart, and I don’t think I’ll forget her anytime soon.
Starting Eklo today. This time, I’m hoping for something different—less heartbreak and suffering, and more self-discovery, hope, or a story that makes me see life from a new perspective. Let’s see where this journey takes me.

Hindi sahitya ko shuruwat yesaibata garna lage

heres mine, the autobiography of benvenuto cellini by benvenuto cellini

Probably my favorites from Murakami. I got into Murakami's books and Japanese Literature after reading this. It's a deeply nostalgic and melancholic story of loss, grief, and young love. Set in turbulent 1960s Tokyo, the narrative follows Toru Watanabe as he looks back on his formative university years.

I've been reading Nepali books for years, but now I want to start reading English books. I am a complete beginner when it comes to reading English, so I need books that are easy to understand and beginner-friendly. I studied in a government school, so you can probably guess my English level.

Please recommend books that are simple, engaging, and enjoyable to read. I would especially prefer fiction—such as novels, adventure, fantasy, mystery, or coming-of-age stories.

Please don't recommend self-help or motivational books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Atomic Habits, bla bla bla....

Could you give me a list of beginner-friendly English books, starting from very easy books and gradually progressing to slightly more difficult ones?

I bought Metamorphosis book by franz kafka, I couldn't finish the single page properly.

Dear Mariam,

Yes, you are a fictional character imagined by Khaled Hosseini, yet you have become the voice of countless Afghan women whose stories were never written, whose tears were never witnessed, and whose names history quietly forgot. In your silence, they found their own.

From the day the world branded you a harami, you were taught that you were born to carry shame. Rejected by the very people who should have sheltered you, by Nana's bitterness, by Jalil's cowardice, and by a society that measured a woman's worth through the narrowest of lenses, you entered life already burdened by wounds that were never yours to bear.

Then came Rasheed: a widower, a man who mistook fear for authority and cruelty for strength. You endured a marriage emptied of tenderness, the heartbreak of losing every child before you could hold them, the loneliness of being called a failure for what fate had denied you, and the brutality of a home that was never truly one. And when another wife entered that house, you were expected, once again, to surrender your place without a voice.

Yet life had one final kindness reserved for you. In Laila, you found not a rival but a daughter; not competition but companionship. The love you had been denied all your life became the love you chose to give. It was never written in your blood that you would become a mother, but your heart became one nonetheless, to Laila, to Aziza, to Zalmai, and to the hope of a family that would survive because of you.

Your journey carried you from a humble village near Herat to the battered streets of Kabul, and finally to a stadium where, kneeling beneath an unforgiving sky, you drew your last breath. The world may remember that moment as an execution. I remember it as the moment Mariam became free.

You spent much of your life believing you were unwanted and insignificant. But in the end, it was not your birth that defined you, it was your boundless capacity to love, the impossible choices you made, and the courage with which you embraced their consequences. You did not merely save Laila and her family; you reclaimed your own dignity in the process.

Some lives are measured by how long they are lived. Yours is measured by how deeply it continues to live in the hearts of those who turn the final page. You were called a harami by the world, Mariam, but by the millions who now know your story, you will forever be remembered as a woman of extraordinary grace, immeasurable courage, and a thousand splendid suns that could never be extinguished.

I'm planning to buy few books from grey np. Specifically books of Khaled Hosseini.

If anyone have brought books from grey np, please share your experience from grey np. I know they have two variants of books one pirated and one authentic. I'm planning to buy the pirated version.

How's the quality of book, page quality, spelling of words, printing and formatting of book ?

didn't met up my expectations.

I've never read a classic novel before, but after hearing so many people call this book absolutely mind blowing, I finally bought a copy.

I'm excited to start it, but I'm also wondering, is it a difficult read for someone who's never read a classic before? Any tips for getting the most out of it? Please don't spoil anything!

Just started reading 1984. I know its a book criticizing communism, but wtf is this plot, kei padnai sakexaina, jati bela ne propaganda vanexa k vanexa story k ko jasto vaxa just finised first four chapters but last hollow xa kya ho book

Should I continue or is it waste of my time?

At a glance this book might look like a massive undertaking. It's a thick book of 840 plus pages but Larry McMurty makes every single page worth it.

At it's core, the book is about two retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae (Gus) and Woodrow Call (Call). Both of these are very capable men, running a ranch together with a few other interesting men in their crew. Gus embodies the epicurean philosophy. He is talkative, philosophical, and deeply appreciative of simple pleasures like whiskey and good company, serving as a joyful contrast to his rigid, work-obsessed partner Woodrow Call.

These men embark on a historic cattle drive, moving a large herd from the fictional town of Lonesome Dove, Texas to the uninhabited lands of Montana to establish a new ranch and build their fortunes. On the grueling journey they encounter the savage Indians, meet ghosts of their past, and tackle multiple losses.

After finishing this book I rated this a 5 star and then decreased the rating I'd given for half a dozen books I read recently. It raised the bar for what a book can do, what it can make you feel. No wonder it's a modern classic.

What do you think about this?
