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
Oh cool! I have it wish listed. Have you read any yet?
Around 1/3 in.
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.
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.
Fiction: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, Haruku Murakami
Non-fiction: The Way Of Chuang Tzu, Chuang TzuI 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 :)
“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!
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.
Significant Digits, the fan sequel to the only fanfic I actually enjoyed (HPMOR).
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.
Just finished The The Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu and I’m restarting The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
I’ve been reading The Recognitions (by William Gaddis) for months and I’m ready to be done with it. It’s brilliantly written, but it’s long and difficult in parts. So I’m kind of speed-reading the last 1/4 of it just because I’m losing steam. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a great book!
Unlikely Animals - Annie Hartnett
The quirkiness of this one balances out the very real, very heavy overarching themes.
