Nigham | 4042 comments Goodreads: The Return of The Little Prince http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/88...

Nigham | 4042 comments Here the writer's name is different, idk why. I saw this book at hyper star, Fortress, if anyone of you is interested. But according the comments it's not so good.

Nigham | 4042 comments @Zardhall and Ahmad: Making new account ain't mushkil, adding your books and your reviews again is. So I guess, we all should download that spreadsheet thingy and should keep it update. Suchi can't imagine the horror of losing your account.

Yup, that's the thing. It's the reviews which are more important..itni mushkil se likhe jate hain age hi..the thought of loosing them is horrible...I think we should all try this..

Yrr... can't find the ebook...if anyone does, then I think it's fine to start this too

I searched for that one Ahmed, couldn't find it anywhere. I did find the other one that Nigham mentioned first, The Return of the Young Prince by A. G. Roemmers

https://www.amazon.com/Return-Young-P...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...

I've uploaded it here

I still have to read the original little prince first, hopefully i'll get around to it soon. I'm going to get rid of this account now and make a new one with better privacy settings and stuff.

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments Yeah but I don’t wanna read this book. I hate sequels, especially bad-written ones. You guys go ahead and read it. I’ll stick to my currently-reading which I actually forgot to update on gr xD
Its a looong book.

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments Hey guys, I was just thinking of starting a blog, you know, to do something productive and not be velli all the time xD
Can you guys suggest some catchy name ideas?
It could be about books ofcourse.
With a sprinkling of some general topics now and then.

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments Not bad that you came up with so many names in such a short while! I was totally blank for three days xD

Thankyouu! ^.^


message 4272: by Abdullah (last edited Jan 29, 2020 05:18AM) (new)

Abdullah Khalid | 808 comments Since we have all read "the little prince" by now we should mention our favorite quotes or situations in the thread XD

Meanwhile let's hope someone favors for the book suggested by @Nigham :P
Otherwise if anyone has any other suggestions they can also suggest.
If the situation doesn't change by 1st of February, then we'll start with Educated by Tara Westover.


message 4273: by Ahmed (new)

Ahmed  Ejaz (ahmedejaz) | 1783 comments Here are mine:

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"All grown-ups were once children, but only few of them remember it."

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”

"I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.”

"No one is ever satisfied where he is"

"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."


message 4274: by Zarshal (new) - rated it 3 stars

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments In addition to @Ahmed’s;

It is much more difficult to judge oneself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself rightly, then you are indeed a man of true wisdom.

For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.

It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them. But you are of no use to the stars..."

"The house, the stars, the desert−− what gives them their beauty is something that is invisible!"

"That man would be scorned by all the others: by the king, by the conceited man, by the tippler, by the businessman. Nevertheless he is the only one of them all who does not seem to me ridiculous. Perhaps that is because he is thinking of something else besides himself."

Abdullah Khalid | 808 comments So I guess it's 'educated' for this month. Can anyone upload the book and schedule ...

message 4279: by Zarshal (new) - rated it 3 stars

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments @Asad it sure looks like a fun read but unfortunately we don’t nominate book series for a buddy read. It has to be a standalone book. :))

@Ahmed Thanks!

Ahmed  Ejaz (ahmedejaz) | 1783 comments Zarshal wrote: "

@Ahmed Thanks!"


Welcome.


message 4281: by Zarshal (new) - rated it 3 stars

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments @Asad It makes us enjoy the current buddy read with no future commitments, I guess. Because who knows if they’re available for the next month, right? And then it makes it difficult to catch up on the series. Also, it makes it hard for new people to join the read that month, since they have to read the previous books and get a hold of the whole previous story before starting. It’s not completely pointless you see. xD

I don’t like series personally too, because I can’t stick to one thing for long. I don’t even read several books from a single genre consecutively. It kinda gets boring for me.

Zarshal Saeed (zarshalsaeed) | 814 comments Koi ni..
Read an autobiography this time.


message 4290: by Abdullah (new)

Abdullah Khalid | 808 comments Educated isn't as dry as usual autobiographies are. It seems more like a YA/ coming-of-the-age fiction. Nonetheless upto you guys.

P.S. We do have a precedent set where we read a book from a series. It was " The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
It went really well.
So we can most certainly read the book suggested by @Asad as long as we've enough votes.
