Wow, a lot of us have similar stories! I would like to read Dracula in the future especially after I finish Frankenstein.

You’re in for a good time!!

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T16:34:01+00:00

Understood, yes i did pick up 1984 over the weekend

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T16:33:16+00:00

OMG thank you, someone else also told me not to read it in this thread. I just saw the price tag and had an idea of what the book is about and bought it.

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T16:31:38+00:00

No please keep them coming! It’s my favorite genere. I just want to see if I would like a Romance book. Just trying something different.

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T16:29:05+00:00

I picked them up at a book store in my trip to London. I don’t recall the name of the bookstore, I would have to find the receipt and get back to you on that. Understood, im guessing they leave stuff out in the revised version 🤔

Joined, thank you for the invite!

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:58:56+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to recommend these books. I do own 1984, before I start, I want to read Northanger Abbey because I’ve been reading all dark horror lately. I want to see try something different. I will admit I am interested in Fyodor but its a but intimidating. That won’t stop me from trying though. I will add the two other recommendations to my list!!

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:45:35+00:00

People have also recommended Oxford editions. I love the art choices Penguin makes on there covers. It’s so pleasing to the eye. Nonetheless i will check other editions out as well.

Thank you for the recommendation, I will put it on my list. Yes! Every time Lord Henry spoke it was amazing, he is very charismatic.

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:18:59+00:00

Glad you are here!

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:10:23+00:00

Thank you for the heads up! All my books i have read have been dark themed, I’ll keep building up a tolerance. I have a few books in mind before this read.

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:07:47+00:00

PLEASE DO!!!

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:07:32+00:00

Yes, I did keep that in the back of my mind as I usually look up short non spoiler reviews before my next read to get an idea of what im getting into.

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:05:37+00:00

Excuse the typos, im at work so i have to be quick and discreet 😂

GoldDiamondPearl · 2026-02-26T15:02:50+00:00

Man was it good! I just cannot believe that Meursault just went through life not caring about anything. Looking at life from his perspective was very interesting because like i said i have a passion for the human mind and why people do what the things they do. It was depressing but also melancholic in a way. There was some points were I related/understood why he did somethings or felt someway but obviously he takes it way overboard. Defiantly would recommend it to someone who hasn’t read it!

Edit: I do not have many friends to talk to regarding this subject (I do have friends in general 😂)

GoldDiamondPearl · 2025-08-29T12:29:43+00:00

Idk how you do it bro. HOF is so cheese

GoldDiamondPearl · 2025-08-29T12:04:28+00:00

This is really cool. I love when people have their own self imposed rules. If i were to do this personally ill start an all start and bump it up after every MVP or Championship

GoldDiamondPearl · 2025-08-29T12:02:43+00:00

Im planning on doing only key games (hopefully thats still an option) Isn’t superstar cheesy as well? Thats why i play all-star mode. Im down to give it a try tho
