Happy new year and Happy holidays!
I've recently moved to Moka coffee. with a nice south american blend. so good

Wishing everyone a happy new year! Full of good books and good coffees!

It's almost 2025! What's your reading goal for this new year? I bet I'm going to read mostly children' books :D

sure thing. not everyone likes the same books.
and wow, a book from 1887? impressive. how's the language? it's usually hard to read too old books.
oldest book I've read is probably Shakespeare. besides that, Flatland from 1884. good stuff if you like geometry :D

Hello, @Tiny&Purple.

A month later, I wanted to follow up and thank you for your recommendation. I finished "Parable of Talents" by Octavia Butler about a week ago, and to be honest, at first, I wasn't sure what to make of it. The book is certainly well-crafted, and Butler addresses many powerful themes and topics, but I wasn't accustomed to this type of reading. Overall, I loved how the book stimulated my critical thinking. It also led me to my next book, which I'm currently reading, suggested by another dear friend of mine: "Three Stories from the Life of a Wanderer" by Hermann Hesse. If you liked Butler, I am quite certain you will enjoy this one too.

Once again, thank you for recommending a book you were fond of. Even though it wasn't entirely to my taste, I appreciated how her work influenced my thinking and critical perspective.

Hello Bia!
I love everything by Octavia E. Butler, and since she has a sort of religious-themed duology, figured you might like it:
"Parable of the Sower" and "Parable of the Talents". climate change, scifi and theology all in one. a lot of violence as well (most of her books are like that).
