I’m back into my childhood reading the latest book in the eragon universe, Murtagh. It’s going well but I’m playing a bit too much video games to read. I have a nice edition with printed edges from my mom but I really want to get back to reading on my kindle.

I am currently reading a collection of short stories titled Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie.

They’re all in the sci-fi genre, and they have been pretty interesting so far.

I used to read a lot, but I lost my love of reading somewhere in high-school/college. Before then I always had a book going, often 2 or 3 at a time. My high school, however pushed reading really hard to the point that certain math classes even assigned books, which left me without enough time to read my own books and just kind of burned me out on reading and I’ve struggled to get back into it. I occasionally manage to get into it for a bit but inevitably fall off of it somewhere after a while.

I started making my way through the dune books a couple years ago. I made it up to God emperor, and stalled out. I was enjoying, but it’s the kind of book I really need to really dedicate some time to reading through it. So that’s been on the back burner for a while. Probably need to restart it when I get back to it. Chunking my way through it a couple pages at a time on my downtime at work like I tend to do isn’t gonna cut it for this one.

I had just started reading The Road before the pandemic, and that just had the wrong vibes for me at that time. Was really enjoying it until I suddenly couldn’t buy toilet paper, then it was all hitting a little too close to home. Haven’t picked that back up yet, but definitely intend to.

I’m slowly working my way through an Esperanto translation of Treasure Island, I’m far from fluent, so that’s slow going but I’m making progress. I’ve seen and loved just about every adaptation of the book, the 1950 movie was a pretty important cornerstone of my childhood and started a lifelong love of pirates, but somehow I never read the book, so I’m killing 2 birds with 1 stone reading the book and working on my Esperanto.

I’m starting to get into Warhammer 40k, so while I save up a bit to start buying and painting minis I’ve started reading some of the books. Decided to start with the Horus Heresy series. I’m currently on the second book, I’m probably not going to read all 60 or so books in this series because I can already tell there’s some definite quality differences between the different authors involved. This seems like it’s gonna be a good fit for me though, there’s a ton of 40k books so there’s always going to be something for me to have lined up as my next book, but they’re light enough reads that I’m not going to burn myself out on them.

Does listening to an audio book count?

I’m not OP, or a mod, but I shall say yes!

Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven’t read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.

I just started Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, which I’ve been meaning to read for ages.

Before that I read The Queen’s Thief series, by Megan Whalen Turner, which was fun.

Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting

I really should read that one. I’ve been a fan of Poe’s Haunted for a long time.

Speaking of classics I have just now finished The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I think I need some time to process it! It felt like a commentary on the changing society of the time, and how a perfectly innocent and loving person couldn’t survive said society. More than anything the book seemed like a vessel for Dostoevsky to share various ideas and philosophies.

I’m reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It’s my first Sanderson and I’m a little over 300 pages in. It’s been on my TBR for a few months and finally decided to take it on.

I’m reading Universal Harvester by John Darnielle. I think I like it, but how much probably depends on how the writer is able to bring it all together in the end. I do like the somewhat unconventional structure though, and the book is very atmospheric. It feels like it’s more focused on painting pictures of a time and place than strictly telling a story, or something, I’m not good at describing it.
