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

1\2 way through Catch-22

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.

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 :)

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

"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).

The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. The final book in what has become one of my favorite fantasy series.

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

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

Unlikely Animals - Annie Hartnett

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

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!

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

As for me, I'm reading "E" Is For Evidence by Sue Grafton.

I may have commented about this author before.

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.

Just finished The The Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu and I'm restarting The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

Pastoral Approach to Atheism; Pastoral Theology; Concilium Volume 23

Compassionate Satanism: An Introduction to Modern Satanic Practice

Gateway, Frederik Pohl

Ethics 101: What Every Leader Needs To Know
