Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.

Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.

Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Trying to go through Effective C++ from Meyers, Impatient Perl, and Prisoners of Geography. There are some pages to go but I'm pretty confident that I could finish them months later

Just started Martin Eden after a friend told me about it.

I'm reading Dune, and I still have about 80 pages to go

I am not a reading guy, but I want to finish The Fight Club... Somewhat knowing how it ends makes it harder to finish.

With Good Omens 2 trending in Amazon Prime, may I tempt everyone to read the novel? Such a fine piece of work.

I have bought and pirated lots of physical and electronic books. But I can't get myself to read them. It's boring af to read 100+ pages

Currently I WANT to read:

  • Thus Spake Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
  • Right of Man by Thomas Paine. Either the original or the interpretation by Christopher Hitchens
  • Some poems by John Keats
  • Finish by John Acuff
  • The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller

The last two ones are actually the ones I would like to read. The others are important but extremely boring and little irrelevant by today's standards
