"If men and women spoke the truth to each other, I fear populations would crumble and Empires would fall."

God, there's nothing more exhilarating than good dialogue.

Rajamaxxing in the background while reading this book that I think Vikraman would very much enjoy

Reminded of James Baldwin saying "...Books taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive" because what do you mean a woman during the WW1 period uses the same strategies I do

Books 8 & 9 of 2026 done. Wish the first one was 50% of what it actually was, because half the book was soo good and peak book club discussion material (ahem ahem @ReboundBookClub). Lily King, I will read your grocery lists, I love your brain, I love your shoes. Combined 8/10.

I've met ambitious women, driven women, but no woman has ever told me that greatness was her destiny."

Batshit crazy book, made me sleep talk in my dreams. Thank you rebound for making me explore genres I wouldn't picked otherwise.

Join us next month if you want free drinks!!!

[Non-anxiety Magnet (parody) @goesonrants]

Book 7 of 2026 done. (late update, it is March's @ReboundBookClub pick btw) Creepy, weird, horrifying, makes you go ewww at times and smacks you right in the face. One of those books that intrigue you because how tf did an author even think of making this real???

[Rebound Book Club - Chennai @ReboundBookClub]

Presenting our April Rebound Read:
Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt.
It's a haunted house horror, but the haunted house is a metaphor for a country - society, trans-rights, and fascism 👀

We hope you join us for some great discussions and greater company! (Apr26 meetup)

[Non-anxiety Magnet (parody) @goesonrants]

Book 5 of 2026 done. Wonderful prose, excellent introspective potential. Loved the characters, the theme of addiction & loneliness and the idea of an untold sadness you can always feel. Some weird parts go unexplained, but Kaveh Akbar can have them, like a treat. 4.5/5 read.

This week's Pitt episode -- brought to you by @ReboundBookClub's March read!

"I want to die. I think I always have."

"In the present we mow our lawns and poison ants and skip parties and miss birthdays all the time. We never think about the effects of that stuff... Nobody thinks of now as the future past."
