    I read A Little Life in 2022 and completed it within 10 days. I found it emotionally damaging but I also loved reading it. I still think about it and I don't recommended it to anyone in bad mental state.

    I read A little life 2 years ago during winters and right after my exams , ( i thought it’d be good for catharsis i didn’t know much about it i had only read the blurb ) i read this book in 9 days and couldn’t read for next 2 months . The writing is brilliant . I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone though 😅 . Jude will forever be in my heart ❤️.

      I can't imagine how you handled reading it after your exams! It is really a wonderful book with great writing but it is definitely not for everyone 🙌

    What did you learn as a result of reading so much? What would be that one thing that you would share with others?

    • @sai_lakshmanan
      @sai_lakshmanan  2 дні тому

      I've learnt to set my boundaries quite sternly with everyone and also respect the same with others. I'd recommend everyone to practice it too. It makes life much more peaceful, content and happy ♥️

    it was a pretty nice book bought it just by reading its summary at a book fair stall.

      You can read The serpent king by Jeff Zentner, The Kalki trilogy by Kevin Missal and Girl online by Zoe Sugg. They are suitable for beginners.

    *Unpopular Opinion but A little life infuriated me. Read it two years back, listened to others point of view about the book, re read it but my stance still remains the same. Sorry everybody, please dont be mad. 😅 Loved Babel though. ❤
    Favorites from last year were
    *Disgrace by J M Coetzee
    *Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo
    *Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag
    *Kim Jiyoung, born 1982 by Cho Nam Joo.

      That's very understandable. Many people don't like A little life and get angry with the story and the author too. It is quite polarizing in that way 🙌

      The short answer is consistency and passion. The long answer won't do here in the comments. I'll try to explain it in a video

    I read 31 books this year.
    177 is too much.
    How can you swallow and analyse if you read that much.
    I guess you have not read complete books.
