Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

Hi, everyone!

I have recently published my fourth book, For the Intellect! It is a compilation of original essays, poems, and stories that are intended to stimulate the intellect in some way.

Synopsis: "For the Intellect is a series of essays and poems meant to stimulate the intellect. This book is intended to provide readers with ample content about a wide variety of topics, including science, philosophy, life, language, math, history, etc. Some of the writing in this book dives deeper into the depths of science and philosophy, delving into topics like the meaning of knowledge, the importance of reason, and life itself. Other essays and poems, meanwhile, provide smaller, more digestible tidbits of content, providing readers with accessible yet open-ended content to interpret. Either way, though, each work is intended to stimulate the mind and generate discussion and debate among readers. Whether you agree or disagree with this book's content, are searching for something for deeper research or looking for a bite-sized starting point to deep thought and immersion, this book may be the perfect tool to doing this."

You can view the book's Goodreads page and stats here:

You can also purchase your own ebook copy on Amazon:

I will be posting each essay/poem of this book in this thread, so you will be able to read this entire text for free, although if you actually want to own your own copy of this book, use the Amazon link to purchase your own e-book.
I will try to post in this thread each part of this book daily, although I may accidentally skip a few days due to schoolwork and personal goals. Still, stay tuned for updates, and feel free to rate and review this book in the above Goodreads link after I have posted all parts and after you have begun reading it!
Thank you! Happy reading!

Hi, Myina! Thank you for looking at this thread, by the way.

Anyways, you can access this book for free just by clicking on the Google Document links posted above. Each link is posted in chronological order: the first link (located in Message 2) contains the first part of the book, the second link the second part, and so on so forth.

You would have to pay (Amazon link is in first message) if you want to own an actual copy of the e-book yourself, but if you just want to read it for free, you can just select the books and read it from there.

Thank you! Have a great week and happy reading!

Thank you. I have gotten your information.
