I finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, and started The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. It’s a thin book, and I am almost at the end.

The book is interesting, though I didn’t like the writing style much, but I guess it suits the story, the way it’s told.

What about you? What have you been reading?

Edit: So, I made this post 2 days ago, but turned out there was some issue between lemmy.world and discuss.online so my posts and comments weren’t showing up here. It seems the issue is resolved now. So, that's why the date is 2 days old, and thread is posted late.

Lord of the Rings, all three in one volume. Oppenheimer next

Nice! I gave away my copies of LoTR to someone. I should get a nice omnibus version now too.

As for Oppenheimer, a quick search shows there are multiple books, which one are you going to read.

If I had to guess (based on the number of reviews on Amazon), I would think it was American Prometheus.

Ah, nice. Do share how you like the book. The movie has kind of made me interested in reading about Oppenheimer, even though I haven't seen it yet. But I am not interested enough to read multiple books, so would pick a one that most people think is good and then go with that one.
