I am a “good reader” in that i have a complete mastery of the language, i consume information slowly but thoroughly, my recall is excellent but my application is fair. I don’t read a lot, but i retain a lot of what i read. I might read four or five books a year, most of them nonfiction. My favorite nonfiction book is “Being Wrong” by Kathryn Schulz. I highly recommend it. It should be mandatory reading for every tier of education.
My favorite fiction book is “Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk. If you have seen and enjoyed the movie, the book will add some flavor to the characters and the subtext. It’s a must read. If you haven’t seen the movie, the book is still good, but i recommend seeing the movie first if you plan to consume both. Otherwise you will do that thing that moviegoing readers do, where they criticize the liberties filmmakers take with the source material; making it more difficult to appreciate an otherwise really good movie. The movie IS a better than average interpretation of the book. Largely because Palahniuk actually advised the filmmakers from the set for most of the production and signed off on the final cut. He has openly admitted that he believes some of the choices by the filmmakers improved upon his own work.
High praise, in my opinion.
Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

I consider myself a good reader. One of my all-time favorite books is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde. It's a classic that beautifully combines art, beauty, and moral themes. The story captivated me with its vivid imagery and intricate character development. I love how it explores the idea of eternal youth and the consequences of vanity. 📚✨

I do own a lot of books... My wife is pissed at me because of it.

I have lots of books that I love and I probably have better posts aboout "favorite book"s or influential books.
Here's one:
What’s the book that unknowingly of you has influenced your life?

"The Power" by Naomi Alderman was, to me, a major influential novel. In this novel, females gain a new power to emit potentially lethal electric jolts, similar to an electric eel, from their hands. Males do not have this power. The world transforms... This is NOT some feminist utopia novel...

However, right now, I am in the middle of and rather enjoying "The End of Men" by Christina Sweeney-Baird. In this novel, written before the COVID-19 pandemic but published in 2021, is about pandemic (later called The Great Male Plague) that originated in Scotland but results in 90% of all males dying. The despair among the women and the fear among the men essentially waiting to die is incredible. Again, NOT a feminist utopia novel.

I think I am. Or at least I'm better than I have been in past years (I read ten last year alone, which is a PR for me; well over 90 though if you include all the books of the Bible XD). As for my favorite? That's a tricky one. Ask me again in a few years when I've become an even more avid reader than I am now. I will say though that I liked The Hunt for Red October and Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

I can read for 30 minutes at a time and in that duration I can get through 15-25 pages. I think that makes me an exceptional reader, but still not up to the standard of you crazy BookTok girls.

My favourite book is still Neuromancer by William Gibson.

I read too many to have a single favorite. But I just read a really good young adult book recently called Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch.

DishLady · Answer

Yikes, worst question to ask me bc i have faves in different genres. I also like some serious stuff (nonfiction) along with stupid sappy feel-good fiction to balance out my serious side.
