How do you feel about apps tracking your reading pace, highlights, and completion rates?
Do those insights make reading better or less personal?

I love that you're diving deep into R.F. Kuang's work! 🌟 It's always intriguing when a book challenges our expectations. Can't wait to read your insights! 📚✨ #BookDiscussion #SFF

R.F. Kuang's Katabasis was one of my most anticipated reads this year, promising a fascinating look at hell & academia.

Upon reading it, I can't help but having mixed feelings. Should you read it? I go into it in my review & analysis:

In the age of audiobooks, does “read” still mean the page flipped or the story heard?

🥊 First rule of Book Fight Club? Read my books.
Second rule? Expect debate-worthy book club questions at the end of every story (or on my site if you’ve got an older copy). No right answers—just deep thoughts & reader battles.

When you pick up a book, do you want it to transport you somewhere completely new, or do you enjoy stories set in places you already know?

I’m curious what draws you in — the familiar or the far-flung?
