I've been thinking of watching but maybe from the middle - was it sidnilove who said she got more into it after the first 20 or so episodes? I think I'd want to start from the part when she's transitioning into the career - can't handle too much more of Manjari-esque housewifery🤣

If you're looking for some real career scenarios you won't get those, they just skim over in the most silly way.. But Rupali's performances are powerful in the really emotional scenes, like when she discovers her husband's..and her bond with her one woman friend is beautiful to see, that girl is also good.. Like sidni said side characters are also fairly fleshed out... Nothing great Pretty, but watchable.

Pretty varied I would say... I go through phases. For a while it was all science fiction/fantasy. Then I went through a classics phase and read a whole bunch of the Russian writers. To this day, one of my favorite novels is The Master and Margarita. When I was in my early teens, it was the British classics - like in your name! Read most of the Austens, Brontes, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell. I had to read a lot of contemporary American for college - Joyce Carol Oates, Jonathan Franzen (hate him), Joan Didion (who is amazing). But lately I find it hard to concentrate on non-academic reading😒

What about you (besides your namesakes)? Any recs?

What kind of books do you read?

I need a break from the reading for my classes and to disengage my brain from work to stop myself from completely burning out. Coming on here has been doing that well. A little too well actually, ha!

But I haven't read for pleasure since Thanksgiving break. I'd like to crack open a book but it can't be too hefty - I don't think I can handle political commentary or anything sociological or economics-related right now😆

I feel my head will literally 🤯 I read Mohsin Hamid's Exit West recently - it's an allegory about immigration and political restrictions on geographic boundaries bound up in a love story. I liked it a lot. And then I read the Percy Jackson books just cos my sister had the full set handy🤣

I just started The Gathering

The Booker Prize winner from a while back, right? I have a list of all of them from 2000 and at one point was planning to read through that list. Haven't made much of a dent though🤣

Is it by Frank McCourt?

What do you do for fun, Snow? Beside gatecrashing threads to talk about Kairat? 😆
