Hey guys and gals. I havent been on here a whole lot lately. I have been curious what some of you may be reading or wanting to read as of late?
In my case, i have this problem of starting a book and then starting a new one without having finished the previous one. So ive now ended up with my physical book collection of about 80 books. And ive only actually completed about half of them haha. But i have read the first half of the ones i havent finished.
Some of the books im currently trying to juggle at once are Nietzsche’s books like thus spoke zarathustra and beyond good and evil. And Dostoevsky’s crime and punishment and the brothers karamazov. And a fictional fantasy novel sequel called empire of the damned by jay kristoff.
Its so hard to decide which one to stick to and finish first haha. Anyway, thats my cross to bear when it comes to books.
Mental health wise, ive been both okay and not okay. Most of the time im fine i guess. But yesterday for example, I was so overwhelmed and at wits end, i almost took myself to hospital. Thought i was going insane again. I guess circumstances in my life are a bit rough lately. Doesnt help my mental health much.
Hope all you forum dwellers are going okay.
Good to hear from you!
Thanks @anon29983254 good to be heard 
I haven’t finished a book in years, i read about 15 or 20 pages then give up but im sure someone else knows better about books
Hey Ozzy! You sound like me! But I’ve learned to read just one book at a time. You slow down a lot and relax that way. And you get into the book better and you usually finish it. But in truth I also read a graphic novel and a magazine too. I have a cool kid’s history of the USA I sometimes look at. For the most part I just read one book now.
Hey Jinx. Thats cool you focus on one book.
On a side query, I kinda feel people dont acknowledge my threads or comments much at all on the forum. Even though ive been coming here for years now. Do you have any ideas why that might be? Or if its just coincidence? I do remember a lot of people wished me happy birthday for my 30th a few months ago which was nice though. I might sound attention seeking or something. But i really feel i could contribute to this forum in good helpful ways sometimes. But hardly anyone seems to notice what i say here ever. But when someone posts a thread about whats your favorite colour or something its got like 50 comments. I dont get it.
Maybe im mistaken. I dunno. Sorry to ask you to be the one to answer this. And also sorry for such an insanely long reply to read haha.
Kinda embarrased i said all that now that ive re-read it. Its no big deal. Im just a bit isolated irl these days.
I’m reading Bluebird by Sharon Cameron.
It’s about a non-Jewish girl in Germany during the Holocaust.
Her dad is a nazi doctor.
She doesn’t know what’s really going on.
When she finds out, she seeks revenge.
It’s very good.
Glad to read that you are reading.
I have a book on my nightstand from Virginia Satir. I’ve read some chapters and then put it down. Trying to get restarted!
I wouldn’t worry about the amount of comments you get. It’s a bit hit and miss on what will be successful.
