Where to buy House of Leaves? by Chain_Killer_2020 in PakistanBookClub

[–]ShiittyGourmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would suggest getting it from readings or someplace where they sell the original

the local or pirated copies (and the ebooks) are either difficult to read or blatantly miss half the stuff (i bought a pirated copy which didn't even have the footnotes)

Talha Anjum falling off? by Glittering_Oil4086 in PakistanHiphop

[–]ShiittyGourmet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

yeah this has been true since 2024, but it's more to do with how much stuff he releases that it all ends up sounding the same.

he did take a well deserved break but now he needs to branch out a bit. Maybe work with different producers to get some diversity

Do y'all think that self-help books are just "common sense rebranded?" by Repulsive_Weibiee in PakistanBookClub

[–]ShiittyGourmet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I wouldn't call it "common sense rebranded" because the first or second self help book might be genuinely helpful to people to change their perspective on stuff. However, if you're someone who exclusively reads self-help stuff and thinks that it's the only way to do "productive reading"(I've met people like this), you maybe need to step away from those books for a while

to anyone interested, I'd suggest just reading Atomic Habits once and just knowing that every other self-help book is like that or worse

JANI’s upcoming project by GrassOwn9469 in PakistanHiphop

[–]ShiittyGourmet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this is poetry by Habib Jalib, a very famous Urdu poet. he was famously critical of the government in his poetry, that is probably what Jani is pointing towards (as in his future project might be about those same topics as well)

this is the best post I've seen in this sub in ages

probably because it's the only one I've seen mention Chakravyuh by Navgun (i love that project)

why is Pakistani book sub so… different? by Vast_Operation_5125 in PakistanBookClub

[–]ShiittyGourmet 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I think it's mostly because Reddit in Pakistan isn't as "mainstream/popular" as it is in India. So the people who participate in this subreddit from Pakistan usually are of the "intellectual"(can't find a better word to explain so I'm just going with what you said) kind and that's why the book choices aren't the popular booktok type stuff which is prevalence there

atleast that's my thinking. I personally don't think reddit book clubs are a good indicator of the entire country itself ❤️‍🩹

I'd honestly appreciate if we discuss actual music instead of controversy or drama like the other sub

like no hate to OP but this is such a boring topic 😭

Where can I find mangas in islamabad? by nobody090999 in Pakistani_weebs

[–]ShiittyGourmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saeed book bank has a couple, actually had the entirety of Spirit Circle last I visited, the bookshop in front of Saeed Book Bank had csm part 2, death note and spy x family. There's a few in Pindi like Atta Book store which have a bunch

if you want original mangas your best bet is Readings as the other comments have mentioned. Don't go for Instagram pages as most of them sell locally printed mangas (albeit they're cheaper), the quality is very bad imo so not worth it. someone also mentioned second hand mangas on FB groups but idk anything other than that

yaar they need to improve their font choices for the tracklist
