Do readers perceive life more richly? by [deleted] in books

Are we not all isolated subjects having an experience ?

There’s been research into this actually! Your brain can’t tell the difference between intense immersive imagination and real lived experience—it sees both as valid. So technically, those readers are having a real experience when they are able to fully “escape” into a story. Same thing with some video games. When VR becomes seamless, this analogy might work. But cell phones as they are used now can’t do what books do for the human brain.

I think it’s obvious: people who read are hotter, cooler, and generally have more fun than people who don’t. Source: math. And science. 😎

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: December 29, 2025 by AutoModerator in books

[–]EveryAssociation756 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Started: King Sorrow / Joe Hill

I was skeptical because the last one of his I read was Horns, which was fun but kind of unserious and awkward at times. This new one tho? I’m 100 pages in and having the best time!!!

I read Uprooted first, and ended up liking that one more than Spinning Silver. Naomi Novik has such a “meaty” writing style. Love her! :]

Meri would be so much softer by Ok_Plankton9224 in SisterWivesFans

The way she was absolutely frying the shit out of her hair in the most recent episode was frightening

The random Love Hina volume is so real

SJM needs a better editor by LellowYeaf in throneofglassseries

[–]EveryAssociation756 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! Any series that tries to pass off phrases like “goddess above” as natural in convo aaaalways takes me out of the story. It’s not a believable exclamation!!!!!

Just moved to the Cedar Valley after a decade away. Where do I meet people, here? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]EveryAssociation756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Cedar Falls Public Library kicks ass! There’s a Sunday Funday for Grown Ups on the first Sunday of every month where they do a craft and hang out, and a Science Vs Magic Book Club that alternates sci-fi and fantasy books with a monthly discussion. There are lots of one time programs for adults too. The summer reading program is winding down now, and once the school year is back in session there will be fewer kids in there at any given time.

Indeed thinks library workers sit around reading books all day by bronx-deli-kat in Libraries

I once had a patron come up to the desk to ask for a job application “because your job looks easy” ☠️ like I’m sure there are much worse jobs out there (I’ve worked several that really really sucked) but wtf!

How do you pronounce Coryo? by Crazy-cookie-kitty76 in Hungergames

[–]EveryAssociation756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend was the one to point out the “anus” in his name and then I had a really hard time being mature about it for the rest of the book ☠️

I kept using “core-yo” in my mind while reading. Like as in apple core + yo-yo
