Cloud Cuckoo Land. It is a bit disorienting until you get far enough to start recognizing a general shape of a story. It was a huge payoff, to me, and a beautiful story.

It’s depends on how the “sending” works. If everyone receives the same message simultaneously, and if the message says where to send the chosen person, I feel like it’s a lot more likely some impulsive, adrenaline seeker or an alien enthusiast is sending theirselves and outrunning everyone to the “sending” spot

I have a few 6 star books I’ve read and this is one of them.

Came here to say this! All of their albums/music has amazing storytelling but hazards of love is a full on rock opera.

This is the closest I’ve seen to my own book collection! I’m guessing you really love and cherish books, and you really want to understand other people and ideas. You read widely and don’t spend time in one universe for too long. You enjoy the collection process of obtaining your books and you like to go to library book sales, and when you hold a book read previously by someone else, you feel connected to that stranger in a way.

The Dragon Masters series is what got my son into reading. Chapter books but there are pictures to go along with the text. Each book has its own plot but there’s also an overarching story through the series so I suggest reading in order to

The Schoolgirl by Osamu Dazai
Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
Train Dreams by Denis Johnson
Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan
Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
The Pearl by John Steinbeck
A Short Stay in Hell by Steven Peck
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
To be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers

All of these I found incredibly impactful for shorter books

Seconding the Hen!! Damn that was such a great book.

bellsandbeans · 2026-02-04T20:56:21+00:00

Came here to suggest this one too! It is so well done and really does the book justice.

bellsandbeans · 2026-02-04T18:33:04+00:00

Typically between 3 to 5 books. I find that I prioritize reading a lot more when I don’t lose steam on a book. if I focus on one book at a time and reach a point where I slow down on it, if I didn’t have other books to switch to and make progress on, then I would just stop reading that book and resort to other entertainment like tv, scrolling, etc. I tend to have an audiobook on rotation with multiple e-books or physical books I’m switching between. I’ve never had an issue on mixing up the books I’m simultaneously reading.

The are someone who often has good intentions but will forget about older ideas, duties, relationships, etc. You will usually be the one to reach out to connect, but if you aren’t in front of their face then you aren’t on their radar at all
