@Abdul welcome to the group! Quick question, what’s a technologist? xD"
Someone who offers his/her expertise in their relevant field of technology. And yes, I hope so this group goes a long way in terms of active members.

I love dystopian themes too, although it’s been kind of hard to find good dystopia that isn’t YA these days."

Thank you so much Laraib! That's indeed very true.

Hello Z. Nice to finally meet you xD take long walks in between study sessions. Or try a change of scenery while you study. Maybe that’ll help.🎉

Hi Xeon
nice to meet you.

[Uzair]

Hello Everyone!
And welcome to the group , apologies for the belated reply but it's busy days what with the Mdcat around the corner.

There's still a good amount of activity in the group though.

Our buddy reads thread is a good place to socialize and well. Do buddy reads.
The hey guys thread is good for general chatting

Enjoy!

Hi all,

Just wondering if this group is still having active (on goodreads) members?

As for introduction, I am an engineer by profession and mostly read books in Punjabi, Urdu & English (fiction, non-fiction, history & poetry with an occasional attempt at reading Persian poetry.

[Zarshal]

Oh a fellow engineer. Hey @jzee (is that like the rapper?)
I warmly welcome you to this group if you’re new here, if not, welcome back. To answer your question, there are active members here. Some more than others. But we’re mostly students and busy with studies or professionals busy with their, well, professional lives. So, this is kind of a sanctuary we turn to from time to time to take our minds off the stress of the demanding world out there. You’ll find we’re sometimes more active, and sometimes not so active here. But there is always someone around to talk to.

You can check out some threads here and there. Play games, talk about general stuff, buddy read, read some of the stuff the members have written and shared over the years, etcetera, etcetera.

I hope you have a good time!

Mans engineer a.k.a unemployed.

[Zarshal]

@Thall, what do you do, besides lurking in the background of every conversation here? xD
I’m genuinely curious.

[Adam.ant]

hey guys!
I'm 19, I'm currently looking into medical majors.
I do reading to escape this world, I love to read fantasy, a lot of people tell me to read biographies and safar namas but I just can't, I don't wanna gain anything tbh, I just wanna get out of this world and enter another.
I also love cats, I can sketch a little and I am a total introvert in person.

@Zarshal Thanks for the response and I am happy to see some more posts in this thread.

@Thall not necessarily... aisey bhi halaat naheiN :) filhaal 🤞🏻

I would like to know if there are any goodreads librarians within our group?

Have a good day everyone!

Hi @Adam.ant Good to hear from you. I guess there is nothing right or wrong about liking a particular genre. And yes, you do not "have to" read anything just because it is being suggested unless it genuinely interests you (while I personally have read the travelogues). The escape bit is true for me as well even when reading non-fiction 🫣🤭

I haven't been much active in discussions around here. But this seems interesting.

If you had the ability to be genuinely curious about anything at all, you would be much smarter than you are right now.

[Zarshal]

@Thall, what can I say, people never give me satisfactory answers.

Zarshal wrote: "@Thall, what can I say, people never give me satisfactory answers."

Probably cuz you need a different form of satisfaction.

[Mohammad]

Hello Everyone!
My name is Shaheer and I am currently in the final year of my Electrical Engineering degree from NUST. I started reading in July 2022 when my vacations started as a means to reduce my depression and anxiety. I am a novice reader and have only read highly popular books like Harry Potter, Maze Runner, etc. Currently, I am reading the 2nd book of The Hunger Games (Catching Fire). I don't like self-help books and they don't help me much (besides my subjects at the university are also similar so they kind of bores me).

[Thall]

Another engineer. Why does this group attract so many unemployed people?

[Zarshal]

@Thall, no, it’s just that sometimes people decide it’s better to start rambling than simply saying they don’t want to answer a question.

[Zarshal]

Hello @Shaheer, welcome to the group. I hope you enjoy it here!

@Thall, presumptive as always.

Not every engineer is unemployed. Neither every unemployed person is a reader :)

Welcome to the group here !

[Uzair]

Welcome to the group everyone!!

Zarshall's explaination pretty much sums up the group in a nutshell. We're all kinda busy but around :P

Unemployment is a state of mind.

[Bheesham]

I'm Bheesham, a book lover and aspiring writer. I joined this group to get some feedback on my manuscript - it's all about the future of science and technology, set in the year 3020. I've got some pretty wild ideas about how science and spirituality will come together to create new laws and transform the world as we know it.

Since this is my first book, I'd love to connect with a few people who could give me some feedback and help me out. So if you're interested in being a part of this exciting journey, please feel free to add me and let's get talking! Thanks a ton and cheers!

[Ramla Zareen]

Welcome to the group @Bheesham Your book sounds very interesting and I wish you all the best with it :-)

I was wondering, have you checked out the Beta Reader Group? You can connect with awesome beta readers there. Some charge for their services but a lot of them critique manuscripts for free. I found the group very helpful when I was writing my book.

Here's the link if you're interested:

Hope this helps, and again, best of luck :-)

[Bheesham]

Thank you very much for your response. I appreciate it. will take a look at the group... :)

[Ramla Zareen]

You're welcome :-)

[Holly]

Hi! I am Holly, a librarian in Wisconsin. I am excited to join this group and make connections through reading and hopefully learn more about Pakistani people and culture, too. I love reading fantasy and contemporary and classic literature, and children's and Young adult titles, too.

[sairah]

Hey guys. I’m Sairah. I was in this group a long time ago but I’m back now. It’s good to see so many members. I can’t wait to get back into reading and connecting with everyone again.

[Sobia]

Assalamualaikum, this is my first time joining a group on Goodreads so I don’t really know how this works lol but I guess I should introduce myself? My name is Sobia and I like reading pretty much only fiction. My favourite genre is young adult fantasy. :)
