I am on book 2 of the Expanse series (James Corey) and enjoying it!
Just borrowed a copy from the library! Was going to start it today.
1\2 way through Catch-22
Fiction: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, Haruku Murakami
Non-fiction: The Way Of Chuang Tzu, Chuang TzuOh cool! I have it wish listed. Have you read any yet?
Around 1/3 in.
I’m reading through The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. It’s decent book, but but can be pretty heavy at times. This is my second time reading it.
I just started Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb. So far a delight! By a therapist about therapy, and just the kind of humor I like in non fiction :)
Currently, A Gentleman In Moscow. A fictional story about a royalty-adjacent man confined to live in a hotel in Moscow during and around the Bolshevik revolution. Excellent storytelling, the author is very talented as a writer.
This is one of my all time favorite books!! And I agree, top notch storytelling.
Finishing both The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin, on my e-reader, and The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Diniman, listening to the audiobook.
“The fisherman” by John Langan. I am liking it.
“How to keep house while drowning” by KC Davis
Running The Light by Sam Tallent. Novel about a fictional stand up comedian, old road dog that was once huge but his career has taken a nose dive since the late 80s early 90s. Huge fan of the real author’s real stand up so I picked it up, and it’s funny and sad and “real” and goddamn this guy can write.
That and comics as always, as you well know I’m sure haha.
Btw for anyone here so far unaware, I’m going to plug Bookwyrm real fast. It’s basically goodreads but federated and private and not owned by scamazon. Pick you an instance and sign on up! There’s not really a good app for it but I use it in the browser and it works just fine. It’s neat, just needs to grow a bit!
Significant Digits, the fan sequel to the only fanfic I actually enjoyed (HPMOR).
Invasion: Downfall
I love a good pulpy thriller and holy shit is this good. Almost as good as reading the online reviews of people raging about it being racist. It’s a story guys
Just finished book 1 of “Malazan: Book of the Fallen” by Steven Erikson, “Gardens of the Moon”.
Immediately started book 2, “Deadhouse Gates”. It’s a Malazan summer, all 10 books in a row! :D
Just finished the seven moons of maali almeida and the caliphs house. Highly recommend both.
I recently finished a classic sci-fi book, Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov. It is part of The Foundation book series. I started the original first book about 7 years ago and have come back to the series every few years. They’re pretty interesting and can see why they are considered classics.
I will also add I am currently reading issue No. 127 of the literary magazine Zyzzyva. Not a book, but a decent collection of short stories, poems, essay, and even bits of visual art.
