Book about a person growing out of their youth? I guess I don’t entirely know what I’m asking for? I’m 27m, I’m not old but I don’t feel like I’m young anymore and honestly, kinda freaking out about it. I need something to help me cope with that I guess? With the idea that life moves on, if your best years are behind you or could still be ahead. That things don’t last forever but that’s not bad necessarily. Books …

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 7 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

What quintessential fantasy and sci-fi books should every bookstore have? I am looking for recommendations for my friend's small independent bookstore. My friend owns a bookstore, but she doesn’t really read sci-fi or fantasy. Instead, she has been relying on a friend who does read sci-fi for recommendations. A couple of months ago, I spoke with him, and I found out that he hadn’t read "Red Rising," "Dune," or the "…
Looking for something that straddles the line between literary and popcorn read The last couple of books that have grabbed me have all been things like Inherent Vice, Lonesome Dove, Suttree, and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. I feel like all of these sort of felt like elevated genre books (mystery, western, and spy thriller). The main thing I loved about them was the dialogue, humor, and character work, particul…
Suggest me a book like the Wolf Hall trilogy I read the Wolf Hall trilogy and fell in love with Hilary Mantel's writing. I loved the research that went into it and the creative and witty prose. I want to read a book (it can be historical fiction or not, but I tend to like historical fiction and fantasy) that is a little challenging and makes me smile at the author's genius, while not taking itself too seriously. ht…
Niche interesting nonfiction What are the most random, niche, informative nonfiction books you’ve read? Like deep dive into a super specific topic, preferably written by someone who has dedicated years to researching this one thing. For example I just read a book on dog genetics, which is a topic that has no relevance to my life or anything I study, except for the fact that I like dogs. Now I have a wealth of inform…
queer stories like mishima the title sounds really bad but tbh i am incredibly sick of the way a lot of "mainstream" lit on gay men seem to focus on "celebrating queer joy," and use that as a way to justify a vapid plot, flat characters, and pointless drivelling angst that at most, reaches the literary highs and lows of a 6/10 fanfiction. if i wanted that, i would just read a fanfiction. i have nothing against fanf…
Suggest me two books with the same concept to read and compare. For example, I read back-to-back the following two books with a very similar concept, but were executed incredibly differently: The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton and The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa. While they're both time-loop mysteries where the protagonist must piece together clues over a series of days to avert …
Books that involve the MC being transported into a book or fantasy world I love this genre and my favourite of the Narnia-type books so far has been The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly (young boy falls through hole in sunken garden in London, enters hellish fairytale world via being spat out by a tree) I guess it's portal fantasy? It could also be isekai, but isekai often has a very specific video game vibe th…
A gripping horror or thriller book that will hold my attention I have been in the loop of slowly finishing memoirs but I want something I can’t put down. I use to be a good reader but now I’ll read a few chapters and forget about the book for a couple weeks before picking it back up. I want something along the lines of thriller or horror (preferably horror) that is gripping and easy to read. I don’t like fantasy th…
Books about men overcoming past trauma Can be any sort of trauma. Romance can be involved, but I'd prefer to stay away from the "love of a woman fixes him" trope. Something more realistic. Well written with good characters. Thanks https://redd.it/1vhb8e9 @r_suggest
Suggest me a thriller with great prose I am mostly disappointed with thriller being so straight forward. I am definitely looking for a page turner but is it possible to get in great writing style?(lit fic). Any recommendation? https://redd.it/1vh8umg @r_suggest
Looking for slice-of-life sci-fi about people working and living aboard a spaceship Hi all, I'm looking for more science-fiction series centered on life and work aboard a spaceship. - Loved the first books of "The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper" series by Nathan Lowell. It’s sci-fi, but much of the appeal is the slice-of-life atmosphere aboard a space merchant ship. The main character starts as a lowly cook’s hel…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @r_suggest. 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.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 597,162 of 1,160,990entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Mentions
Named by 2 registered channels — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
