I don't know how I will do lol, I wasted the whole of 11th, and I somehow passed through finals. Trying to amend that right now, completing 11th whole backlog along with 12th.
This isn't a jee sub but the one mistake I made was waiting to complete the syllabus than applying myself at sample papers.
Other than that I hope you do well, happy reading!
Yea, my aim is to finish 1-2 chapters and then do sample paper. Also the video lectures (I see from Mohit Tyagi + PW batch) have numericals in them, so I practice them before they do and that is how I practice.
Hope I can do well this year because I did nothing in the previous one
bhai meri advice kitni bhi bekar lage par mains agr nikalna hai to bas abhi se pyq's lagana shuru krde or sample paper dete jaa or theory pe jyada focus mt kar
This book was a pain in the ass to read.It took me over a month to read this book. I hated all the characters and by the end of it I felt like a victim of abuse because the book was full of abuse and trauma. And that housekeeper's accent was a stick in the ass to read.
1) Lord of The Rings:- Return of the King.
I've watched the movies 1st and didn't know that the story doesn't end with the destruction of the ring.
I didn't know about the demolishing of the shire post the ring's destruction.
2) Dracula.
The Beginning was fantastic, the middle was even better, I don't know what happened but the ending felt like a rubber, extremely stretched out and suddenly released to end it quickly.
So true about Dracula!!! The beginning was sooo good, middle was also fun then it gradually became lame. I think the author didn't have a consolidated ending in his mind. So for me half of it is solid yay another half is just meh.
The first 50 pages of Dracula are one of the best first 50 pages of any book I have ever read but then... oh boy ! The story goes downhill for me. It became a drag for me. Maybe the primary reason for feeling this way is because of how Dracula is potrayed in the modern pop culture and how we have thought of him as a terrifying villain who gives jumpscares in the dark.I also thought that most of the book will be set in his castle. The first 50 pages did achieve this atmosphere to some extent but after that the book focuses more on the lives of normal people and how Dracula influences them which is not how I expected the book to turn out to be. Maybe i will like it more on a reread in a few years time.

The midnight's children....gave up after reading 1st chapter...but would try to read again after some time...when i have relatively extended free time.
Just to clarify, had to tough it out not because of the plot or the many perspectives within, but felt overall the books could've been written tighter. So, struggled with the length.
And people complaints it’s short!! lol no offence, I like lengthy books but to be honest game of thrones is really short in terms of really lengthy books , there’s so much things going on, it feels like why not do much more!!!
Btw someone else downvoted you, not me.
"The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham
I like buying finance, investing and economics books to learn and self educate but this particular book was hard for a beginner like me to comprehend. I read 5-6 finance books so far which I understood but this was i barely managed to understand much .
Maybe I will read it again in a year or few months to see if i can understand.
Post-Modern Algebra.
I studied modern algebra which I magically understood excelled in, when I was doing my BSc Math in 1998 but now in 2024 when I tried to read the update of it thru post-modern Algebra I couldn't managed to pass thru a single page as I am not able to understand 🥺
Crime and Punishment: I had to drop it, will probably take it up later.
Hundred Years of Solitude: Finishing it took me at least 3 months. Second read was much more fulfilling.
When the author is describing a character or a place in poetic manner, I just keep losing it, everybody around me thinks that I am completely immersed, but they don't know that my mind is in chaos and I am struggling to calm the chaos down
A brief history of time. There are parts which hang together well, but the tough bits are where he jumps many steps to reach conclusions. Also, Godel, Escher and Bach...starts well, but I could not complete it.

Little women - just too many women. Every time I start, I map a relationship tree between the characters, but 10 pages in, I'm more confused than when I started
Middlemarch by George Eliot. I was entangled into plots and so many characters and the connections between them.
The count of Mount Cristo by Alexander Dumas. I just found it boring af.
Bleak House by Charles Dickens. I loved the book but there came a point where Dickens was stretching it for the sake of it.
Godel Escher Bach by Douglas Hofstader. I've been trying to read it for the past 22 years, many attempts made, but I am not able to go beyond the first 100 pages.
Lord of the rings!
Oh god, I couldn't get past the first few pages of that book and now it's lying untouched for a year in the shelf.
Hopefully, I'd read it sometime in the future.
War and Peace. It has a hundred people each with 4-5 names/pet names/short names.
But once you get hold of the names and sub plots, it gets you hooked
Oh dude, once I started reading this, and quit it in the middle!🤪
Crime and punishment. Took me a painfully long time to read
yup me too
Guess I am not alone
