A Reading Slump Is the Norm

2026 2024: Another difficult year-end, but at last, a new year 2023: A new year, a new chapter 2022: Hit a wall and went in circles looking for a door. Guess I'll need an axe. 2021: Stepped in a pile of crap in real life during the first lunar month. Sigh, at least the world of web novels is safe. 2021: Stay safe. It's 2020, and it's so hard to find anything readable these days. Either the male lead grovels over a woman, or a bunch of women grovel over the male lead... And the mindless panderi

Books That Look Fun

Fresh new books and previously completed novels: I add anything that catches my eye, without sorting them into categories. If a book's quality takes an unexpected turn later, I will update the list in real time. To clarify, not every book added here is good. Some fall far short of expectations but are distinctive in their own way, so I toss them in for commentary.

Great Novels

As the ancient poets said, “A belly full of poetry and books lends a person natural grace.” A person of deep cultivation shows it in their dignified bearing, refined speech, and the radiant light shining from their face.

Pretty Good Books

In a corner of a book, the sounds of spring begin to play, soft and silky, fresh and soothing. It is like a young woman just out of her bath, dancing among the willow leaves in a pink dress. No wonder the poem says: “Jade adorns the willow tree, dressed in green; ten thousand strands hang down like silk ribbons. Who fashioned these slender leaves? The February spring wind is like a pair of scissors.”

They're All Classics

I once read this passage in a book: Reading can cure ignorance and poverty, heal illness, strengthen resolve, broaden one's horizons, teach us how to get along in the world, make us wiser, and show us how to make friends, understand people, speak, act, and live.

My Heart Longs for You, Like a Deer Chasing a Stream

The desire for human connection is one of the strongest urges in the human heart. It is a fundamental human need, a force that brings people, tribes, families, and societies together.

Hidden Gems: A List of Lesser-Known Novels (Usually, More or Less)

If you're out of books to read, check the signing rankings. Since member clicks disappeared, it feels like the only treasure trove left besides the monthly and recommendation vote rankings. I recently discovered that the limited-time free section has some gems too. One out of every five books is still worth reading.
