Finished 1984 by George Orwell a couple of weeks ago. A fine read but I definitely enjoyed Animal Farm more than this one. A must read for fans of dystopia.

Started A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini. I hope it's as good as The kite runner.

As anyone read The Prisoner by Omar Shahid Hamid?
I really want to read it but cannot find the PDF or anything. Need to know if it's worth it before I set aside some pocket money for it.

I need to read a book to inform myself about WWII while still having a novel-like feel, and not a history lesson.
Has anyone read 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr? Heard it is supposed to be pretty good for that.. so any thoughts?

I read a couple of chapters of it at someone's place, it was quite interesting. Now that you mention it, I should probably order it.

I am reading Arch of Triumph at the moment, a very interesting but uneasy read. I would recommend to everyone who enjoys Erich Maria Remark.
I've got a very old copy lying on my bookshelf for ages. Let me know if its worth the time once you're done reading it.

Where can one buy used books in Karachi? I really want to pursue my itch on book reading after reading The Alchemist and A Tale of Two cities. Cannot pay the outrageous prices of Liberty Books with my pocket money.

After a long time got some time and finished The Artemis by Andy Weir, it was hilarious to say the least. This book is from the same guy who wrote The Martian.
One thing is sure if you are going to read it you are going to finish it in one go, like i did. its that addictive.

Well haven't read much lately due to life sucks etc etc but was looking for some stuff in store when saw The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah on shelf. Immediately got it and started reading it, however, it took me almost a month to finish it...gone are the days when i used to finish a book in a day..lol...well back to book its amazing, after The Nightingale this is another great piece by same author. with Alaskan settings and depressed atmosphere this book will haunt you . It felt like you are living the moment..must read.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
