It had been a while since I last read science fiction, especially one in the hard sci-fi category. What a way to return to the genre! The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin is an intelligent, dense and complex reading. Despite the many technological and physics terminology, The top-notch writing...

I read The Great God Pan since it was short and in the public domain. I can see why it got its fame, especially considering when it was released, but I cannot say that I felt anything substantial while reading it. There are uneasy passages and the mysterious is somewhat interesting but damn, the...

Fair enough 😂 I usually don't research any book I know I want to read - this happened with Shaken to the Core, a book that I knew was a historical drama but had no idea what the drama was despite it being mentioned on every synopsis of the book, and I was so surprised when things started to get...

Maybe Daisies? This one I'm sure is not similar to Twin Peaks but again, it fits the other three categories x) Or, if you want to be cool, you can watch Donnie Darko xD

Have you watched Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse? Not sure how similar it is to Twin Peaks but it certainly fits in the "unsettling/abstract/weird" categories x)

Public domain? I like the sound of that! :D

That's fantastic, thank you very much! I haven't read any of those (I didn't know about Joe Hill either haha), so I'm sure I'll have fun with these titles! I might start with "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" since the title and the premise are really good haha Thanks again! :D

Oh please, give me some horror recommendation! I want to explore more this genre but I don't really want to have only Stephen King on my list 😅 The last horror story I read was We Have Always Lived in the Castle and I thought it was awesome! I like the more psychological horror but nothing...

You know that kind of book that gives you a heartache - but a good type of heartache? That's how I feel after finishing Virginia Woolf's Orlando. This whacky, satirical and profound love-letter-turned-novel has so many layers and ideas that I really feel a bit dizzy. I'll certainly need to...

That's so cool! haha I still haven't read The Tempest. One day! This said, I was amazed at how many of Shakespeare's plays are based on some other story or event. Not that this diminishes his talent and importance in any way but it was interesting to discover this!

Abby appreciation! (The Last of Us - Part II spoilers?)

When I created my Dtoid account it automatically created a new Disqus profile. However, I cannot even access the settings of this new account on Disqus page since it takes me to my original Disqus account whenever I try. In short, I'm stuck with that rooster picture and a weird @name 😅 The only...

I need to go back to my films, been a long time since I watched one 😅 The last I watched was Bulbbul, a Netflix original Indian film. There's something eerie about Tripti Dimri's smile that is more frightening than any horror element the film presented, which wasn't much since the focus of the...

I've actually finished this one some time ago, as I mentioned in my very first post (as it was the reason why I read Finding Ms Write!) but since I'm still fascinated by this book, I thought I would write a proper post to share this masterpiece! Shaken to the Core was the work that introduced...

I was born in Brazil, so we don't really study Shakespeare at school (a shame, indeed). I was postponing my Shakespeare's reading because I wasn't confident about my reading skills. But since last year I've been reading practically everything in English, so I decided it was time to start :D...

Continuing the quest that I started during the quarantine to read all of Shakespeare's works, Much Ado About Nothing is the latest addition to my read list. It's also the first of his comedies that I read (I did watch National Theatre's live stream ofTwelfth Night, though). The dynamic between...

I also had a time when I was reading a lot of books at once. The diversity of the titles helped me: fantasy, romance, then a collection of poetry, a non-fiction book here and there... but yeah, it's not easy to maintain the focus x)

What would be the fun of reading lists if they weren't infinite? xD

50 years... damn! Good to know he's an even better character in the books!

Oh, thanks for the heads up! I'll leave it just here for now as I'm also new and don't know seem "intrusive", especially with a project which quality is not the best haha
