“Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the triangle.”

Your recommendation is the winner! I’ll this this book and come back to you with feedback on it.

So excited for this!

Thank you for explaining! Tbh I wanted to start with Color Of Magic and go in the exact order because I was afraid of missing out some important detail or some connection. It’s good to know you can go with sub-series apart.

It’s not that I didn’t like Color Of Magic, it was still good just not as entertaining as Guards Guards. Guards Guards had everything I wanted, interesting plot, good developed characters, mysteries, good humour. I think this is the first book I’ve read that’s suitable for my type of humour.

I remember watching the Color Of Magic movie when I was little and liking it, I don’t remember its plot so I wanted to read the book as well. Still debating whether to give it a new try or go with the next guards book. I’m also very interested in the witches sub-series! There are really so many to choose from…

Loved this one! I’ve read it first because it was recommended as a good standalone book. I tried reading Color Of Magic after it because I wanted to start in order but didn’t enjoy it that much at the timr. I still want to read more of the Discworld but not sure how to proceed yet.

Oh if that helps, I joined Lemmy just recently about 2 weeks ago. I’m surely finding interesting and unique things on here!

Wow I’ve never heard about LibreOffice before. This is great!

You’re the second person to recommend me this book! It’s surely on my radar now.

I’ve read Leviathan Wakes. Although I liked it, I decided not to continue with the series because I stubmled across spoilers (ik should have been more cautious) and found out some of my favorite characters die :(

I’ve read this one. It’s an amazing book but so heartbreaking…

Yep! Fortunately I’ve been keeping a little notebook since I started reading to list the books I’ve read. Goodreads or storygraph also help to track the books.

It’s also made into a cool series, starring Elijah Wood!

You’re welcome <3

Yeah not surprising. It doesn’t look good and having the cheater Jackman in the cast didn’t help it.

Can confirm. I will not steal your data.

Sounds fun!

I swear I’ve heard of the Day of the Jackal 10 times by now! I don’t mean in a bad way :) Either the book or movie, I see it being suggested often in the topics I’m interested in. Might be a sign to finally watch it!

Watched them all! Memento is my favorite of these 3. When it clicked for me what was happening I was mesmerized.

Ah the initial knowledge of a movie having a twist is not an issue for me because when I usually get movie recommendations I add them in a big list and by the time I get to watch them I forget that the movie is supposed to have a twist. Thank you for your recommendation!

I’d say it’s going pretty well so far! It’s a bit too much description or better said explanation of concepts for my liking now but the plot and main themes are quite unique and this makes me continue reading. I also like the main character, she’s headstrong but she isn’t afraid to admit when she is wrong or complement other characters who are more knowledgeable in a domain than her and doesn’t back down in front of difficulties. Its main theme is related to memory and this is also a field I wanted to research more of. So even if the pacing is not what I need now for getting out of the reading slump, the book is interesting enough for me to keep going and eventually achieve that.
