32. New Year, New Beginnings
Plus, what's in store for your reading journey
Dear Reader,
Here's wishing you a great year ahead!
We have been in a whirlwind of activity the past few months on the personal front. But as we enter the new year, things seem to be settling down :)
This letter contains important updates for both our newsletter subscribers as well as our paid members - the Readers of 42.
We are stoked to share our final.final.version.4.2 plan for 2025.
Welcome to The Readers of 42 Public Library on Substack
Henceforth, readersof42.substack.com will be an open-access digital library containing all our recommendations.
Each post here is a dynamic repository of handpicked rabbit-holes for your reading / viewing / listening pleasure.
Our latest Readathon season is also live.
Receive a nudge to read 5 pieces of writing every Thursday in 2025, at 8:42 AM IST in your email inbox.

Each volume is a treasure-trove of articles, essays, web comics and more by authors from all over the world, plus bonus podcasts, videos and other links.
