Literature — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 18 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 4 March 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 6 September 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
44 reactions across 14 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 45.5% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 20 | 45.5% | |
| ❤ | 17 | 38.6% | |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 14 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 44 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 4 March 2024 to 6 September 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
📖 Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy Desire, duty, and reputation pull in opposite directions. 'Anna Karenina' balances an intimate love story with a wider portrait of family, work, land, and faith. Tolstoy writes with x-ray calm: dinners, trains, and conversations reveal what people cannot say outright. It rewards slow reading and still feels urgent about how a life is chosen. ⏱ Reading time: 29 hours 19 minutes 👉 Down…

📖 Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky A desperate student tries to think his way past conscience and discovers thought is not a shelter.

📖 The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie Christie’s puzzle is crisp, fair, and wickedly staged. "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" turns alibis, clocks, and small talk into evidence that keeps rearranging itself. You read with two minds: enjoying village comedy while testing every sentence. The pleasure is realizing the clues were there and how point of view shapes truth. ⏱ Reading time: 5 hours 55 minutes 👉 Do…

📖 The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy A successful man becomes seriously ill and realizes his life has been arranged for other people's eyes.

It's short, humane, and unflinching—perfect for a single, thoughtful evening. ⏱ Reading time: 1 hour 52 minutes 👉 Download …
🆕 New in the library 📖 Spunk by Zora Neale Hurston Spunk is a short story written by Zora Neale Hurston and first published in 1925.

📖 The Art of War by Sun Tzu Not a war drum, a field manual for clear thinking. 'The Art of War' compresses logistics, timing, deception, and restraint into crisp aphorisms you can use beyond the battlefield—in negotiation, product strategy, coaching, even personal goals. It teaches when not to fight, how to read terrain (social as well as physical), and why preparation beats heroics. Bring problems, not slogans. ⏱ …

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @AliceAndBooks. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 11 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
