Any Recommendations for Strange and Quirky Books? I Want to Read Something Like That
I’d like to read something a little different, like psychology books or something.
A Realistic Work That'll Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat
Looking for books similar to The Children of Crescent River, Part Three: Right and Wrong. If you’ve ever missed the intoxicating fragrance of waves of wheat while gazing at the city lights, or longed to feel the vibrant pulse of rural China, then this river of the soul flows quietly through Tomato Novel…

Any Military Novels About Modern Warfare?
Realistic War Stories, No Exposed-Identity Return Plots
Novels Every Strong Woman Should Read
Looking for books like My 26 Male Roommates. I want a strong female lead, no misogynistic slurs, someone who loves women, and no CP. Female ensemble casts are fine too, like She Was Tired of This.
Food Novels Focused Purely on Cooking, No Random Plotlines!
Don't recommend it unless it's actually a food novel. If it doesn't feature food, what the hell am I supposed to read it for? I'd be better off reading something else!
Books to Help Me Improve at History and Geography
Looking for books similar to "Half-Hour Comics: Chinese History" (five-volume set). Anything along those lines.
Educational Books
Begging for Historical Novels!!!
Looking for books like All Quiet on the Western Front. I don't care if it's official history or unofficial history, Western or Eastern, modern or ancient... Even if it's a pile of shit, a history built on it (shit-standing history) is fine too., Mark Twain
Historical Novels Set in Europe
Stories set in ancient or modern-era Europe, but not contemporary times. No characters getting dumber for the plot, and a solid grasp of history. European history, not Chinese historical fiction.
Any Books About World War II?
No harem stories. Preferably set on the European battlefield.
Any Books About World War I or II? Europe, Germany, France, Britain, Italy, America, Austria, Russia, Hungary, Greece, Romania, and the Balkans
Looking for books similar to "Serbia's Counterattack".
War! War! War! World War II, the Cold War, or Modern Warfare. No Space Wars
My Reading List Is Empty Again. Leave Your Best Recommendations Below.
Pure Red Alert + Apocalypse! No Spacefaring Stuff!!!
Absolutely no going into space. Keep it on Earth.
Flash Marriage, Then Discovering the Husband Is the Company's CEO
They have a whirlwind wedding, then she discovers her husband is the company’s CEO.
Looking for Recommendations, I’m Suffering From a Book Drought. Fanfiction, Anime, Historical, or Original Novels Are All Fine
Looking for books like "The Allspark, It's Just a Job". Please recommend a well-written novel to get me through this reading slump, with characters whose actions make sense and don't feel out of character. The fanfic premise should stay faithful to the original. No harem or brainless characters, and if there's a pairing, it should make sense.
Looking for a Protagonist Who Is a Femboy or Has a Feminine Voice
I want a cross-dressing male character, not someone who turns into a girl. Please, please, please!
Any Textbooks or Study Guides?
Looking for books like Half-Hour Comics: Chinese History 5. Something like the one above, for example.
Looking for a Novel Set During World War II. I Can't Find It Anywhere.
There's a book where the protagonist transmigrates to Spain during World War II and joins the International Brigades. In one scene, a reporter takes a photo of the protagonist and publishes it in a newspaper with the caption, "An International Brigades soldier in battle." I can't find it anymore.
I’m Out of Books to Read, Please Recommend Something
I want to know what happened in the world the transmigrator had previously visited after he returned to his own world. 🤩
These Books Are All Pretty Good
I want books similar to "From the Start, I Set Up a Street Stall and Sold Great Strength". (*´I`*) They’re all pretty good!

The angle is novel, interpreting the war from the perspective of food, interesting and awesome👍🏻👍🏻
The China chapter is missing, although it would most likely be difficult to write the China chapter.
It is good to combine food with war history and create a unique approach, but it is still difficult to compare with the simple and boring battlefield food and the colorful World War II. It turns out that there is an article in the "War History Research" magazine about individual soldier rations, which is also very interesting.
A great book, with vivid images, delicate writing, and detailed information. However, the Italian chapter is a bit lacking.
As the saying goes, logistics is the key to fighting a war, and food is the top priority. The book starts with an event in history, and then introduces the introduction and role of food to learn about the interesting facts. It is a good historical science book, suitable for killing time in your spare time.
Is this the up copywriter that was moved here?
It is a very interesting book. The narration is professional but not boring. The explanations are based on novel ideas. Most of the explanations on food are accompanied by historical stories and illustrations. It is really easy to read and suitable for reading in your spare time. Finally, I have to lament that there are thousands of delicacies in the world, and China accounts for 99% of them.
It should be one of the reference sources for many ups who talk about food and history.
It's very interesting. It uses food as a clue to intersperse many historical stories. It's very interesting and adds knowledge.
It introduces the war foods of various countries in World War II, with pictures and texts, vivid and detailed. It would be better to add some Chinese war zone food.
