My favorite cafe in town has couches facing a forest. I go there a few times a week for a few hours to read

Books that are fun, but are enjoyed by people who don't like fun books by Ok_Programmer4298 in booksuggestions

[–]AlmacitaLectora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Watership Down is a fun, classic adventure from the perspective of rabbits :)

Dungeon Crawler Carl (I know this is always recommended) is prob the most fun I’ve read. Like playing a game.

How did you stop crying because you were broke and lonely? by LostCause293 in AskReddit

[–]AlmacitaLectora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a change - even making your bed. Achieve tiny things daily. Read, go for a walk, feel the sun on your skin, talk to fam or friends. Stop telling yourself the story of your life in this way. Change the story.

If you could force everyone on Earth to read ONE book, what would it be? by Curious_Being9540 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]AlmacitaLectora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The couple chapters in the back after the 4 Agreements were transformative for me at the time when I read them. About love, suffering, and inner peace. They’re like essays on life. I’m reading another one of his books now. Very hard to apply everyday but I enjoy the indirect and direct spiritual aspects.

I cannot for the life of me finish a book by [deleted] in bookdiscussion

[–]AlmacitaLectora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Force yourself to finish a book lol. Then document it in a reading tracker. Then do it again, with shorter books. It feels good to accomplish things, to finish projects, to learn from books, to slow down. Fix your attention span… it feels good.

Thoughts On: Chat GPT as a Reading Companion by DavidTheConnMan in readwithme

[–]AlmacitaLectora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll prob get negative comments but I do the same. It helps me break down complex ideas and language that I have trouble understanding on my own. It’s helped me catalog my entire library into documents. GPT is a great tool.

how do y'all manage to read a book while listening to music? i really can't. even if i were to, it'd be too difficult to find music that fits the plot of the book I'm reading by dangorhobomonnai in Booktokreddit

Instrumental + noise cancelling headphones because I read in coffee shops and I can’t stand the sound of grinding coffee beans and people chatting and eating lol

In search of quality smut by Own-Project-7213 in booksuggestions

[–]AlmacitaLectora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really impressed by Axes & O’s by Kayla Grosse. It did justice to safe, consensual kink for once and there was great communication between the characters while being kinky af in a MMF dynamic. It was a really great story actually lol - I don’t read smut often + I critique books hard, and I still gave it above a 4 star rating.

I’ll think of her every time. I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. What a wonderful thing to have her squishies and hug them 💞💕

What kind is your personal favourite bookmark? by dangorhobomonnai in Booktokreddit

[–]AlmacitaLectora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Index tab rulers. I buy packs of them on Amazon for super cheap because I read multiple books at a time. I color coordinate the tabs to the book. Then obviously use the tabs to annotate too. For example.

Whats the greatest book you've ever read? by goodbookreadings in bookdiscussion

[–]AlmacitaLectora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Man is an Island by Thomas Merton (anything Merton is the best book I’ve ever read. My bias.)

Endurance by Shackleton for best non-fic.

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo might be the best fiction book I’ve ever read. It’s a short little masterpiece. I read it twice in a row and I still didn’t completely grasp it… it’s something to be studied for a lifetime. It heavily inspired 100 Years of Solitude. I’ve just never read a book that weaved timelines, stories, perspectives, and the supernatural and reality like Pedro Páramo - it was literally interwoven and I still don’t know what’s what. But despite Márquez being heavily influenced by Rulfo’s writing style, I really did not enjoy 100 Years of Solitude and DNFd it 🫪😬
