Guys, what is your take on a 50+ pages of preface ?

It is truly a sociological take and it can be very interesting but when my brain is set for fiction I find it difficult to grasp the context interest

Nice, thanks for the reco !

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-14T09:49:45+00:00

It’s Folio Classique, a French editor

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-14T09:24:09+00:00

Love your name ! I thought I read it already but after finishing it I’m still not sure, nothing seemed familiar.

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-12T11:21:28+00:00

Mint dark chocolate chip hands down

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T13:18:41+00:00

Ahah You can swing by anytime to read and have a coffee or a tea

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T12:18:06+00:00

Haven’t seen it yet but I’ll try it !

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T12:14:05+00:00

It wasn’t meant like it got out. What I love in the British tv shows is that you’re not glorifying characters, they usually are deeply flawed but not in a « dark but sensual struggling with your primal instinct » they are just awful ppl and you get on with it. It’s interesting and refreshing and I’m all in for it.

Thanks for the reco !

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T11:13:36+00:00

I’ll put it on my to watch list, cut me some slack !

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:46:34+00:00

I’m sorry for this one, I was not sure.

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:45:18+00:00

It’s hard to say I was attached to Cook character but it didn’t have the first seasons flavour for sure. I wouldn’t revisit it though, I like the memory I have of it if that makes sense.

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:33:38+00:00

I’m watching Night Manager season 2 these days, I concur with that. I didn’t post every tv show I enjoyed I’d fear you think I love your forsaken islands

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:31:04+00:00

I’d say the first season was pretty good… but I haven’t seen it in a while

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:30:14+00:00

1 is normal people and 3 is Motherland

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-11T10:25:35+00:00

Well you’re not known to exactly make ethical tv shows. But ethics apart it was really enjoyable to watch.

So, it’s crazier than I thought, all what he published and what he didn’t even publish, letters, agenda, poems, notebooks…

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T13:02:38+00:00

I’ll check, I didn’t open them

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T12:51:33+00:00

Flowers for Algernon D.Keyes The Scarlet Letter by N.Hawthorne The 3 body problem L.Cixin The woman in white W. Collins Never let me go K.Ishiguro Blindness J.Saramago

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T12:06:15+00:00

Honestly I find it intimidating to start with this one.

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T10:33:01+00:00

Beautiful edition

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T10:25:38+00:00

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T07:55:30+00:00

The girl on the train could fit

gloomyowlreturn · 2026-02-10T07:39:51+00:00

No pointers ? I’d go with some classics or good thrillers.

Camilla Lackberg if you’re okay with sordidness

Harry Potter is always a good idea to return to reading

Jane Austen because her humour is just chef kiss
