Literature

I'm currently reading through Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I'm a fan of SciFi, and cyberpunk especially. This book was on my reading list, and I decided to pick it up while in the bookstore the other day.

So far I'm really enjoying it. It feels a bit more pulpy than some of the other cyberpunk classics such as Neuromancer and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, but that's not a bad thing. It certainly doesn't take away from the entertainment in my opinion. Not every book needs to have a grand philosophy behind it.

Claudius The God, which I'm enjoying. (I watched the BBC adaption years ago, but only got around to reading the two books recently.)

I’m halfway into “Guards! Guards!” by Pratchett. My first story of his, and I’m having so much fun!

Dracula and Treasure Island. I do so love Project Gutenberg and my Kobo

Neuromancer. It's okay so far.

I just finished Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. I LOVED it.

Just started House of Leaves! Been super interesting so far, I love when books, movies, or games break tradition and do something truly unique

The Count of Monte Cristo! Liking it so far and I've heard good things

In cold blood - Truman capote

Vonnegut's Galapagos, and Parenti's Blackshirts and Reds.

Conspiracy of Truths by Alexandra Rowland.

So far, it is intriguing and enjoyable! Got a ways to go, but I think it'll hold up.

Memories of Ice - Malazan Book of the Fallen I am really enjoying this series so far. I get absorbed right in even with how dense it is at times.

Hello, first post here. :D I'm reading A Favourite of the Gods by Sybille Bedford.

Currently reading Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte, and in tandem I'm also going through HBR Project Management by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez.

I'm restructuring my whole organization structure around PARA and CODE as described in BASB (It resonated with me because I realized I was already doing a form of PARA with my work files), and with that using Project Management as a primer for establishing how to complete my personal projects (I've always been bad at this because somehow I never registered personal stuff as projects in the way that I register my work projects). I'm an engineer so I have some project management experience, but I know I'm missing knowledge here and there so this is a twofer in educating myself on managing both my projects at work and my projects at home.

I'm also reading my way through Hamlet after becoming obsessed with the Kenneth Branagh adaptation. I've listened to two separate Librivox dramatizations and bought a dramatized version on Libro.fm.

I'm reading The Stranger, by Albert Camus. It's a short read and I'm already focusing on some of The Atlantic's recommendations in the Summer Reading Guide.

I'm reading Elektra by Jennifer Saint. After reading Circe and The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller I wanted to keep reading retellings of Greek mythology but I'm kinda struggling to get through this one. The story is really sad so maybe that's part of it.

Killing Comendatore by Murakami. It's late here and I always like reading his stuff at night.

Demons of Good and Evil by Kim Harrison. I've been reading the series since 2004, and I do a little happy dance every time a new book comes out.

I have 2 going right now:

• Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk
• Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson

Snow Crash is good, but IDK. It just isn't pulling me in the way I expected it to, so it's taking me too long to get through.

Then I have some Jack Reacher novel on my bedside table waiting to be started, and I was just eyeballing a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories on my shelf.

To sleep in a sea of stars.

A very interesting sci-fi book that was a little slow for the first 50 or so pages but then really took off after that. It's honestly caused meany sleepless nights as I stay up far too late reading because I just can't put it down.

Currently reading The Wandering Inn: Volume 7 by Pirateaba.

I'm currently re-reading Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg, for Pride Month!

I’ve always got way too many books going at once. I’m listening to the audiobook of The Overstory by Richard Powers, one of my favorite authors who never disappoints, and, among others, I’m reading The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton—which is entertaining enough so far, but I’m reserving judgment—and Auē by Becky Manawatu, which is so emotionally devastating at times that I have to take it in small doses.

I am in the middle of reading Men at Arms, one of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchet. Very much recommend!

I’m rereading Anil’s Ghost by Michael Ondaatje. I read it when it came out and was deeply moved by it. Even though it was a huge success when it was released it feels like it feel off a cliff of people’s consciousness a year or two later.
