A Collection of Great Books
Recommendations for good books across all genres. I don't really sort books into categories; I read anything that suits my taste. Even so, I'm always in a reading slump and can't find anything to read. It's a little frustrating, so I made this list to share some good books I've read. I also hope fellow readers can discover good books recommended by others.
A Hodgepodge of Urban, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction
I'm suffering from a severe reading drought. Suddenly, I've found fewer and fewer books I can keep reading. Here are some decent books I've read. If you discover a good book here that you haven't read yet, please recommend in the comments any good books you've read that aren't on this list.
Some Great Books to Recommend
Here are some pretty good books I've read myself. If you like any of them, let's exchange recommendations for books we've read and found worthwhile.
Great Book Recommendations
Good book recommendations.
Dancing in the Rain
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Books with a Little Meaning
I hate being tempted to read by desires like giving up on myself or getting something for nothing
Classics, Every One
Books are the stepping stones of human progress, and that saying couldn’t be more true. I’ve always loved reading, because books have taught me so many things. A particular plot point often leaves me deep in thought, as if I were a scholar or philosopher pondering one of life’s truths. So every time I finish a book, I feel enlightened.
Setting Sail
I long to build a little cabin in a bamboo grove, or among the trees, where I can contemplate in quiet solitude and discover the true meaning of life.
Books with a Little Something to Them
From then on, I truly fell in love with reading, because books brought me endless joy. I was completely lost in their vast ocean.
Gudan Pingfan's Reading List
When I emerge from a world of fantasy, I find myself once again facing mountains of books and study guides. I often wonder when I’ll be able to escape this sea of books and give my sluggish brain a moment’s rest.
Laughing Through the Jianghu
When I am troubled, I pick up a book, and it tells me how important happiness is; when I am angry, I pick up a book, and it tells me how precious understanding is; when I am bored, I pick up a book, and it tells me how difficult it is to find a fulfilling life. Oh, book! You are so beautiful and wonderful, but when will I be able to become as great and learned as you?
My Reading List
Slowly remembering the books I finished in the past. Anything I managed to finish is a gem. I can only list 50 books, so for now, I'll put the ones I've read on my bookshelf. Still not enough room. The older books may not be as good as today's, but they're classics all the same, so I've kept them.
No More of the Same: Looking for Books with Heart
Updates are slow because I'm still looking for good books. If you know any good ones, leave a comment!
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.
Highly Rated Works
Successful scientists are often people with broad interests. Their originality comes from their extensive knowledge.
A Little Bit of Everything, Full of Flavor!!
Books are like food: it's all about whether you like them. There's no distinction between expensive and cheap, highbrow and lowbrow, famous authors and newcomers. I love a big mixed pot!!!
Historical Fiction [The Finest Pavilion], Transmigrate Through 5,000 Years of Chinese History!
If you like historical fiction, come take a look. These are classic, enjoyable novels in my opinion, though everyone has different tastes. Please don’t bash them if they’re not for you! Ancient times and the pre-Qin era, the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms, the Jin, Sui, and Tang, the Song, Yuan, and Ming, the Qing, and the Republic of China!

This book taught me not to trust the book list. Things that I thought didn't matter at first will become even more intolerable because they are different from the description. As for the single female protagonist, she is dedicated and honest. Is she really skilled in setting up many difficulties for the protagonist to increase the emotional foundation? After reading more than 100 chapters, there are only three. If there are more female protagonists, it will be more. The romantic and dedicated character that must be shown is really disgusting.
The Song Dynasty is a relatively difficult dynasty to write about. If you can't write well, don't write about it. The shame attached to our Han clan by the Song Dynasty is comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was the first dynasty to bow to the foreigners, ceding territory to pay compensation, losing power and humiliating the country, and it was all occupied. It can be said that half of the backbone of famous Chinese families was broken by the Song Dynasty. Do you think there was a good emperor in the Song Dynasty? Yes, but it's just a matter of having a good emperor. Can you explain me? I beg to differ. Everyone can be a good emperor, but not everyone can be a wise king. Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Shimin, they can be said to be wise kings, but the Song Dynasty? Sorry, I don't have a good history. I don't know the name of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Maybe you can go out and ask passers-by to see how many of them know that there was a Mingjun in the Song Dynasty. The answer you can get may be that you only know that there is such a dynasty. You said that the Song Dynasty was the best era. . . Hahaha. My spine has been broken. You tell me the best era? The country's financial economy is controlled by foreigners. Believe it or not, as long as they put their hands on it, the country will collapse in an instant. I have read about 300 chapters. Don't tell me why I didn't pay to read it, because it's not worth it. Everything said and done in 300 chapters is just lofty and flashy. The strength of a country depends first on its military strength. A country cannot even protect itself, and everything else is empty talk. The Song Dynasty may be proud and yearning for people like you, but in my eyes it is not as good as even the late Ming Dynasty. The only thing that can be said about the Song Dynasty is the economy, but the developed economy only sucked the blood of the so-called scholar-bureaucrats. Many things in the Song Dynasty seemed beautiful, but they were the corruption of the entire court, for the sake of **** records. Think about it, after land annexation, are people really living that well? The imperial court does not collect taxes on land annexation, but that does not mean that others do not collect taxes. Although Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty claimed vassalage to the Turks, his shame was washed away the next year, but the Song Dynasty retreated again and again, and finally the national backbone was broken. It can be said to be an era of shame. I think that when most Han people can go back to that era, the first thing they think about is not getting fame, but how to wash away the shame of the famous clan. Some people may think that it is not a shame to cede territory and pay compensation, and to lose power and humiliate the country. Congratulations, you have the talent to be a traitor. The Song Dynasty was rotten from the ground up. It is impossible to change without heavy canons. Without rights, everything you say is nonsense. In the Song Dynasty, you may be able to achieve justice, but you cannot reform, because it is against the world's Confucianism (yes, Confucianism is not Confucianism), even the Emperor of Song Dynasty can't do it. The emperor of the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats when erecting monuments. Do you want to reform without killing people? Dream on. If you reform, you will be unworthy of our descendants, do you understand?
Not as good as other books
Yipin Jiangshan is not as good-looking as the other books. It has no sense of involvement, too many descriptions, and the aura of the pig's trotters is too bright. There is no struggle process. It relies on other people's descriptions to enhance the aura of the pig's trotters. It does not use facts to describe the pig's trotters step by step and experiences accidents. The supporting characters in it are too proud of Pig's Knuckle. Just talk about the sand table. How many days can it be done?
Will there be a sequel? 😢 I've been waiting for many years, but it seems like it's getting cold.
I'll post one too. They all say that the Song Dynasty was cowardly, but I don't know what you are basing your opinion on. Usually it's the Battle of Chanyuan Alliance and Jingkang. Let's talk about the Chanyuan Alliance first. The Song Dynasty of the Chanyuan Alliance did not win, and the Liao Dynasty did not lose. The two sides were in confrontation, and they had fought for decades before. Have you ever thought about what it is like to have a war that has lasted for decades? The Song Dynasty, an alliance of Chanyuan, gave the Liao Dynasty one hundred thousand coins. The Liao Dynasty respected the Song Dynasty as his brother and gave up the disputed territory between the two countries! As for what one hundred thousand guan means to the Song Dynasty, it is not compensation, but just to save the face of the Liao emperor, so that there will not be too much domestic resistance for the Liao to give up its inherent territory. The emperor of the Song Dynasty usually treated his courtiers to a meal once, and it probably only cost this much. The war with the Liao Kingdom cost tens of millions of dollars in military expenditure every year, not to mention the comfort of people's livelihood on the long front. One year's military expenditure is enough to appease the Liao Kingdom for a hundred years. Of course, the most important thing is the land. Song Dynasty did not return it to the Liao Kingdom. Who said that as a newly established dynasty, all the land in the world should be yours? That was the inherent territory of the Liao State. After Zhou Qiang went there, the Liao Dynasty had not had time to take it back, so it was inherited by the Song Dynasty. The Liao State asked for it, and the Song Dynasty started a war, which lasted for decades. Let's talk about Xixia. Xixia is not a vassal of the Song State, but a vassal of the Liao State. The Xixia army became stronger and wanted to stand on its own. The letter of credence was sent to Bianjing of the Song Dynasty, saying that it wanted to establish a country. The Song Dynasty immediately beheaded the Xia envoy and launched a war against him. The Xixia army was at its peak, and the Song Dynasty was defeated in all three battles and was in danger. The Liao State took the opportunity to send hundreds of thousands of troops to the border of Song and Liao, and once again begged the later Zhou Dynasty to seize the ten counties of the Liao State. When the Song Dynasty was not going well in the war against Xixia, it did not hesitate to fight on both sides, but still sternly rejected the Liao Kingdom. This is incomparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties. Which Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not lower their heads? Only Song didn't! Facing the Mongolian cavalry, Song Dynasty resisted for decades. When there was no way to retreat, one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea to fight for justice. Prime Minister Lu Xiufu threw the little emperor into the sea, and no one surrendered. This is the backbone of China. Is the water too cold to compare? Fan Zhongyan worried about the world before him, Yue Wumu served his country loyally, Wen Tianxiang's loyalty shines through history, Fu Yanguo rode alone to Liao... This is where the endless character and wisdom of our Chinese nation lies.
Personally, I think this book is the most rubbish of all the Sanjie books! The three views are incorrect. Most of the explanations of the relationship between men and women support divorce if things go wrong. It was normal in ancient times for men to have a romantic relationship with scholars, but it is problematic to publicize it and hold high the flag and try to clear the name. The full text is thrown out of the book bag. We are here to read the novel, not the historical narrative. The necessary explanation of the historical background of the characters is helpful for readers to learn. It is uncomfortable for a novel of more than 1 million words, 10% of which is based on citations. Song Renzong's generosity was described as someone who had to help count the money after being sold. Is Renzong really that mean? Opening the Golden Finger allowed the financial and monetary system of the Northern Song Dynasty to be initially established. No matter how much the nobles obstructed the Northern Song Dynasty, when the court had money, it was impossible for it to be as military and diplomatic as the author described it. Forcibly changing the direction of history while forcibly substituting historical development was definitely a big failure. Taking off your pants and farting was unnecessary!
The author probably has no political experience. The so-called salt and iron monopoly is to control the people. This control started from the economic control of strategic materials by Guan Zhong of the State of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. When the salt consumed every day becomes a huge profit item to collect people's money. Let the people not be too rich and have the financial resources to rebel. Replace the modern salt into a house. High housing prices make you worry about where to live every day, and you have no money and no one has time to think about rebellion.
I would like to say sincerely that this book is very interesting, but the author begs you not to write any more emotional dramas. It's disgusting and I really can't stand those plots.
I can't watch it, it's too abrupt. In a feudal society, a ten-year-old child has to be in jail, sign a contract, and have his appendix treated. Even if you travel back in time to a young man in his twenties, the readers will not feel fooled.
The plot of this book is protracted, verbose, and contains a lot of nonsense. It is simply unreadable! I am an 18-year-old bookworm, and I am definitely not a troll. I have never been so angry about a book. This book is really infuriating. The author just rambles to make up the word count! It's too bad that I recharged the full subscription at once and couldn't stand it after reading two hundred chapters! Waste of my money! No refunds yet! Extremely rubbish!
