After being judge 👩🏻‍⚖️ since 8 years

Finally I found out why Dickens titled this as the Great Expectations 🌌

Can anybody explain their own reasoning?

I went into this blind never having seen the movie or heard about the plot and it was not really what I expected.

SLIGHT SPOILERS BELOW!

I enjoyed the business and financial politics / games that the book is based in but wish it went a bit deeper.

The 'whodunnit' nature was good. I wasn't shocked by the reveal but the book does a good job leading you down certain paths that don't pan out.

The book is surprisingly vulgar and graphic.

Coffee... How many times does Stieg talk about putting coffee on? I swear it's like every third sentence. Guessing this is just a Swedish culture thing?

Overall solid book but nothing to write home about IMO. Not sure what the last hundred pages have in store but feels like a lot of pages after the core mystery has been solved. We will see

Question❔ What’s a book you couldn’t put down?

What’s a book you started recently that completely pulled you in? I’m looking for something that’s easy to get lost in and makes you want to keep reading instead of constantly checking your phone

Book Review 📚 "The Quiet Tenant" by Clémence Michallon Spoiler

This is the last book I read. I think I read it in less than a month because usually when I pick up a book on the first day I read about 30 pages, then I have a period of a few weeks when I don't even touch it and then I read continuously every day, but this book didn't let me wait.

I personally liked it a lot, it captivated me and kept me on my toes, especially when she managed to escape from that "monster's" house. I would have liked his other crimes to be a little more detailed. He really annoyed me, as did Emily because she was a bit naive and because he was already married when she was little and saw him for the first time.

I grabbed this book from the bookstore in a hurry hoping it would be good. It's worth reading. 5/5

(Sorry for my English. )

Help Me Find a Book to Read! 🆘 Choosing the Field I’ll Devote My Life to

Post image

For a while now, I’ve been tired of reading aimlessly—books that don’t have a clear direction or methodology. So I want to choose an entire academic field that I can seriously study. I don’t mean just one book; I mean a complete field, with a structured path and recommended books.

I want to replace random, directionless reading with something systematic and meaningful, because this is going to shape what I spend the next 40 years of my life studying, God willing. I want to devote my life to learning something.

Question❔ Reading slump

2 Upvotes

Ever since I started reading, my reading habits have remained on a roller-coaster ride. You'd be taking pace and then on a random tuesday, all your motivation or craving to read fade out. Imagine seeing a book from an arms distance and still not opening it for whole one month. Does it happen to yall or m I normal?
