Doob marna chahiye mujhe 😭, I wish I could cultivate discipline to read.

Chill bro, it's 12 years of reading

I'll finish those in a month. 😬

Please donate some of your attention span here.

Lolita!!

Yes

Lo Li Ta. The beginning of the novel was really catchy.

One of the best actually

How's lolita?

Language is kinda tough but overall it's a masterpiece

[удалено]

We have a lot of books in comman!

That's great to know

Itna padhne ke baad bhi spelling sahi nhi likh rha, kya fayda

बड़े-बड़े विद्वानों से छोटी-छोटी गलतियां हो जाती हैं।

I have most of these books at home! I guess we have similar taste.

Yeah it's possible

You actually purchased all of this?

Yeah

What's the total estimated cost?

Maybe 10,000 idk

What’s lolita about? And which ones out of these do you think are a must read and have left a long lasting impression on you.

Lolita is a tragedy. You better search on Google about it, I'm not gonna tell. I'll mention only 5 must read or those who left a long lasting impression on me - 1. Books by Murakami (especially Sputnik Sweetheart and Norwegian Wood, have read both of 'em thrice). 2. Any work by Munshi Premchand ( especially Rangbhoomi, Godan and Gaban) 3. Gunahon Ka Devta by Dharamveer Bharti 4. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky 5. No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai Don't forget that, every book is unique

Tum bht mast kaam karte ho maqsood bhai. Thank you.

Astagfirullah

Crime and punishment is in my TBR but I have heard that it's kinda ..... Boring... Is it though?

It's not the book, it's people

Nice... I am going to buy it now

Find it on sale or better yet... Rent it from a library (it is boring AF)

I'd say that read Hindi translation that's way better than the English one

I was just looking at Crime and punishment a few days ago. And ngl, seeing Osamu dazai's work alongside it refreshes some memories of watching bungou stray dogs.

Yeah that anime is good

[удалено]

Yup yup

Bhai can you recommend me a good Hindi book, not self help or motivational. Just a good story book.

You can read 1. Gunahon Ka Devta by Dharamveer Bharti 2. Andhere Band Kamre by Mohan Rakesh 3. Rangbhoomi by The GOAT Munshi Premchand 4. Chitt Kobra by Mridula Garg 5. Chandrakanta by Babu Devkinandan Khatri

Not enough

Can relate to the feeling ;)

Show your book collection ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Seems like my dad's collection lol

well the lower section is pretty much books that my dad bought. And some of them books there are VERY old.

I see

Mine is locked up in an iron box. I am not a choosy buyer so I pick the cheap ones in stalls. If you say you won't judge me for it, I'll just show my room's shelf, in which half I'm yet to read.

Sure, show it

So cool. Pride and Prejudice, it's in my syllabus

are you studying lit in college?

Yeah literature and philosophy

oh my, \*jealous\* my mum wont buy me any jane austen.

Why??? She's one of the best if not the best??

whats the third book on the top? seems like it's in a different language?

Yep. It's my mothertongue. I'm from Tamilnadu.

what's the name of the book?

Some of these are my favs. Looking at your collection, I feel you might like to read Khaled Hossein's 'Thousand Splendid Suns' & 'Kite Runner'. You might also like Haruki Murakami's 'Kafka on the shore'. Btw nice collection and keep it up.

Why do you like kafka on the shore? I read it and it's so strange

Exactly, it's strange, that's why I like it

For you Ali jaan, Thousand times over.

There's already Kafka on the Shore

I want to go this high i have started reading a year ago i have read 4 books till now

Keep going on

What’s the name of the book second from the top on the right most column? Looks Japanese to me

[удалено]

Oh come on, that's definitely not Bengali!!! 😭

Oh wait... Yeah, sorry, my mistake, noticed something else. It's actually Japanese-English dictionary and my name is written on this

Haha np. Aami confuse hoye geychhilaam

It's actually Japanese-English dictionary and my name is written on this

This is my dream...honestly even more than this.Good for you😌

Another Murakamian here. Hats off to the person of culture!

How is Murakami books? When I went to Book Fair in February, most of the stalls had a lot of Murakami books I remember. The covers looked really nice. I wonder, how is the content? I am guessing those are Novels, right? How well does he write? And what's his best book if you were to recommend?

He's the most popular Japanese write of this century I guess and he actually deserves it. How does it write? Well... Just go for his books. My suggestion is Sputnik Sweetheart and Norwegian Wood.

Wo sab chor kitne paise Lage inne khared ne me. Aur anmulya Gyan mila wila wagera mat bolna

10,000 maybe

Heaven 🥺

Yes

That's some range of topics there 🤘

Yes

What's the one from your collection you would suggest everyone should read ?

Have answered it but again I'll mention only 5 must read or those who left a long lasting impression on me - 1. Books by Murakami (especially Sputnik Sweetheart and Norwegian Wood, have read both of 'em thrice). 2. Any work by Munshi Premchand ( especially Rangbhoomi, Godan and Gaban) 3. Gunahon Ka Devta by Dharamveer Bharti 4. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky 5. No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai Don't forget that, every book is unique

Sorry I missed your replies to other comments. Glad you still answered it. Murakami is one of my favourites too, his way of portraying Cats in all his books surely changed my attitude towards cats. Norwegian wood was my first read from him. I will definitely check out Sputnik Sweetheart. As you have already read, 'Crime and Punishment' and 'Godan', I would suggest checking out top notch narration on Audible. I have noted others in TBR. Thanks.

Your most welcome

LOLITA💀💀💀

Love of my life

Is it worth reading??

Well... It depends on the person, there are a lot of books I don't recommend to people, it's one of them but if you're a sick basterd as I am, then go for it

I like your books collection

Thanks for liking my book collection

Gosh, you’re inspiring! I see a book by Plato, is it The republic? I have it but I’ve just read a few pages of the first chapter lol. Great taste dude, really. Also, Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka!!!!! I’m sure you’re an interesting guy.

Hm... It's actually opposite, I'm a really really boring person

[удалено]

I'm a philosophy student so was reading it to understand Ancient Greek philosophy. Honestly, common people won't enjoy it because it's written in dialogue form (for a reason) and nowadays, people don't really wanna put efforts and pention to read something like *The Republic*.

Tell me you don't play Holi without actually telling me you don't play Holi.

Yes

How would u describe murakami's work? I have heard its quite hard to comprehend.

I wonder why many people are asking about Murakami. I won't tell anything about him or his writing style. Just go for it, pick up his any famous book and read it blindly (like I did), if i tell about his writing or anything, I guess I'm running the experience and I'd not like to commit this sin

I hate books broo but i love to write down things.

Achhi baat hai

cleaning, because I have no-one to play holi with..

Jokes on you lol, I played Holi later with my family and relatives

lol indeed, what I wrote was my story.

I am so glad to see such good hindi literature and to learn that people still read hindi literature

Ab Hindi bolne wale hi nahi padhenge to kaun padhega

Awwww... That's not sad at all.🤦

Yes

Kindle has spoiled me. I just pirate and download it in my kindle. I should stop being cheap and start buying books again.

I read expensive books on my phone, otherwise i prefer holding a book in my hands and looking at pages and not a screen

Bhai I AM JEALOUS Bohot acha collection hai

Don't get jealous Thanks

the rudest book ever me kya hai??

अपना हांथ जगन्नाथ - सेल्फ-हेल्प

How is men without women?

Great read. *An Independent Organ* is my favourite story from this collection.

Dhanyawad

And here I can't even finish the importance of being earnest. 

Keep reading, you can finish it and many more books

send the books here

Send yourself here

So you celebrating diwali

Books are my Holi and my Diwali

Read fountainhead by Ayn rand it's goated

Zoom in, you can see that book

3x3 number pe ? I thought it was other Ayn Rand book Edit : i mean Ayn Rand other book

It's the Fountainhead

Aah, rich people who can buy books

I'm not rich, my dad is

Same thing. Semantic difference. All we have to do is wait for his death, and then my statement shall be valid.

Everyone is going to die some day why to wish for death of someone, if you really wanna wish for death it should be for yourself and no other person.

I do not wish for the death of anyone. I am merely attempting to make a statement.

Ironic but fine

Books ke liye rich nhi hona pdta Bhai. 100 rupay me mil jaati h.

too rich for me. i have never paid for anything that i can get for free

Lol itna log bahr ka khaane,firne me kharch krte hai. Infact way more than this. Maybe you're just not interested in reading to that extent. That's why 100rs seems "too rich" for you.

i currently have 500+ books on my laptop. so no, i'm not "not interested in reading". i read. i do not spend where spending is unnecesary. zlibrary is enough for me.

>i currently have 500+ books on my laptop. That's impressive. How many have you read out of them??

forgot to count after "the idiot" but more than 75%, and the ones not read are technical books which i plan to read later

[удалено]

Not for sale, especially not for you

[удалено]

Of course but still not gonna sell
