My reading list right now is:
- Sweet Bean Paste, by Durian Sukegawa
- Legends and Lattes, by Travis Baldree
- Interior Chinatown, by Charles Yu
Making very slow progress through each of them, but I'm still just trying to get into the reading habit again.
The Singing Sword, by Jack Whyte. It’s the second book in a historical fiction take on the Arthurian legend.
Scalzi’s Kaiju Presevation Society is great, his Starter Villain is definitely in the same vein of light and easy and fun.
I made it most of the way through Lud-In-The-Mist by Hope Mirrlees. It holds up pretty well for being almost 100 years old.
I still plan to read Dungeon Crawler Carl next.
Trying to read too many books concurrently (at least one on each device):
- Orbital by Samantha Harvey
- Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel
- Beyond Narrative Coherence by Matti Hyvärinen et al.
- Language in Our Brain: The Origins of a Uniquely Human Capacity by Angela Friederici
- Active Inference: The Free Energy Principle in Mind, Brain, and Behavior by Parr, Pezzulo, and Friston
- Actual Minds, Possible Worlds by Jerome Bruner
- Dreams In Late Antiquity: Studies in the Imagination of a Culture by Patricia Cox Miller
- Meeting the Universe Halfway: Quantum Physics and the Entanglement of Matter and Meaning by Karen Barad
- Historical Explanation: An Anti-Causalist Approach by Gunnar Schumann
How to stop worrying and start living by dale Carnegie.
I finished Educated by Tara Westover. I really liked this book. It gave me a glimpse into an upbringing that is about as different from mine as I can imagine. If you want to get an idea of what it's like to grow up in a distrusts-anything-government, survivalist family, I highly recommend.
Now I've started Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I'm still early on but I love how this book started. It instantly gripped me and I can't wait to see how it goes.
JUST finished Project Haily Mary. It's so good 5/5. Curious to hear your thoughts when you're done.
Thanks for the info, going to check out Educated.
Loved Project Hail Mary. Enjoy!
Mistborn is the book that got me into reading! It's one of my favourite books of all time due to how it changed me haha.
As for my little update. I put Morning Star on pause as I feel a bit burned out with the Red Rising series. I'm at the point where nothing really surprises me anymore and I feel that I'm not as invested as I was with the other Red Rising books.
Instead I've jumped back over to doing a Way of Kings re-read. The first time I listened to the audiobook so I'm eager to read it this timearound.
Is it better than the Stormlight Archive? I’m currently off and on trying to slog my way through The Way of Kings, but I’ve made it nearly a quarter of the way through and can’t bring myself to care all that much about the characters or story.
It’s to the point where I’ve put the book on hold twice to read other books that I found more interesting. I wish I liked it more, because everyone says it’s one of the greatest fantasy series ever written, but it’s just not pushing my buttons the right way, I guess.
Finished Mistborn and most of the Arcanum stories that aren't tied to Elantris. Have that borrowed to read soon-ish, but am reading Warbreaker right now and will probably read the Stephanie Plum book (Now or Never) that released today next.
I couldn't get into some of John Scalzi I tried, but I really liked the interdependency series. It's not a masterpiece but it's a fun ride.
Warbreaker is nice. Very interesting magic, though all of Sanderson books have that, specially the Cosmere books.
I would say the same thing about The Kaiju Preservation Society, not a masterpiece but a very fun ride.
The story is building up towards me being tempted to buy the fancy leatherbound version. The secret archives are kind of in between, and the Stormlight Archives are the ones I'd really want, but I seriously can't justify $250 apiece for those.
That purple is sexy though.
Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian. This series should keep me busy for a LONG time.
Just started Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway after several recommendations. Haven't finished ch1 yet but it's entertaining so far.
I just finished this book over the weekend. It was fun.
Oooo I do love Mistborn!
This week for me has been pretty boring to report in this thread but I have exclusively read Deathlands books.
I've read 5 this week and I'm half way through the sixth which is the 32nd book, still enjoying it and just wanted to keep going with the story this week so did!
Book related I'm probably going to start editing the second Underwood and Flinch novel tonight down into a nice audio book experience.
5 books in a week! Nice! How many books are remaining?
Good luck with editing!
I believe number 153 is due to be released next month so a shit ton left and I can't wait! XD
"Being Henry" by Henry Winkler. Concise and well written about his life growing up and his journey into showbiz. And hitting it big with "Happy Days"
