I am on book 2 of the Expanse series (James Corey) and enjoying it!

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 Tzu

So how was school this week?

It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a class with assigned readings like these books.

I’ve come full circle and now I read both for pleasure and for personal growth.

At the moment my current books are the Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth series) and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. One is for general enjoyment, the other is for self reflection and growth.

Re-reading my two favorite ones by Murakami - Hard boiled wonderland and The wild sheep chase.

Unlikely Animals - Annie Hartnett

The quirkiness of this one balances out the very real, very heavy overarching themes.

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’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!

Oh cool! I have it wish listed. Have you read any yet?

Around 1/3rd in.

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 :)

Floon ,

The Chronicles of St Mary’s, just finished the fourth book. Fun stuff.

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.
