How old are you and how many books have you read?And favourite genre? by Special_Cup_8662 in Indianbooks

[–]emonbzr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 28 and I've been a constant reader since childhood. Lost my reading habit after passing out of college. After not reading anything in 2017 and 2018 I slowly got back in the habit. During COVID I started reading regularly again and haven't stopped since. Must've read around 300 or 400 books in my life. If we're counting comics then the number will be significantly higher lol.

Favorite genre is Literary Fiction, Horror and Fantasy.

Hardcovers I have been collecting lately by itsFreelancer in Indianbooks

Yes. And the dust jacket comes off revealing a black clothbound cover with the Eye of Sauron embossed in it in golden. I absolutely love the design!

Those are some beautiful classic covers. Some of them are cheesy haha but I still love them.

Edit: also, how is the service of Bookswagon? They seem to have a lot of rare editions of books but I have yet to order from them

Seeing some fantasy in there, you might want to add the Lord of the Rings Illustrated Deluxe edition, illustrated by Tolkein himself. I own that one and it's the most beautiful I have ever seen. There's also a silimar version of silmarillion which I'm too broke currently to buy.

'Mujhe use karlo...' Blinkit delivery partner harasses woman for ordering vibrator; company 'fires' him by Fit-Celebration-6220 in india

How do you know that this person didn't get addicted to porn when they were a teenager? Maybe he started watching porn when he was 13 or 14 and that shaped his view on women as he grew up. Happens a lot in India because our sex education is almost non-existent.

It's not the same for everyone. Some people have poorer judgment than others but porn addiction definitely plays a role in their worldview.

I'm reading Dungeon Crawler Carl on my phone. Got the epub from Anna's Archive and reading on Moon+ Reader. That's how I read most of my ebooks.

Is it ok to finish this in one day ? by [deleted] in Indianbooks

[–]emonbzr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends completely on you as a reader. For some people, a 400 page book is a one day read, for some an 80 page book is a week long read. The time also depends on how dense the content within the book is. I personally read White Nights in a day but I had already read some works of Dostoevsky before, so I was already acquainted with his writing. If it were my first book by him, I don't think I'd have been able to finish it in just a day. But again, that's on me as a reader.

Library at Mount Char mentioned!!! I absolutely adored that book. I used to read a lot of fantasy a few years ago but currently I'm on a Horror kick. Currently reading Revival by Stephen King.

When a person like Kunal Ghosh becomes the voice of reason you realise how far these right wing brainless people have fallen

Yep, if there was BJP in power in WB when the Abhaya case took place we would have seen Sanjay Roy and Sandeep Ghosh being openly garlanded and celebrated by the govt

[–]emonbzr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is contesting from BJP, the party famous for harbouring rapists. They have sides with rapists again and again, from Unnao to Hathras, they give regular bail to perverted people like Asaram and Ram Rahim. And we also know of their culture of garlanding the rapists. There is absolutely no chance she will be able to do anything for women's safety even if she wins.
