There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

House of Leaves. It's a strange book.

I just started Klara and the Sun. Also listening to The Amazing Adventures of Kavilier and Clay (Soo good).

Book Club is reading Accelerando (3rd time for me). Just finished Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise.

Next up: the new Cormac McCarthy, Consider Phlebas.

Just started a series called Slip Runner. Two guys and a ship pickup scrap from alien ships after the war ends.

I like going on Amazon and searching "scifi boxset". You find some interesting stuff.

Nona the Ninth (third book in The Locked Tomb series, which starts with Gideon the Ninth)

I am absolutely loving this series, I had no idea what I was getting into. Solid plot, great style, fun, super clever. Highly recommend.

I'm finally reading The Expanse series, currently on book 2 and really loving it!

While I was waiting for book 2 to become available on Libby I read The Spare Man which I also enjoyed. It was a pretty goofy but fun light read (solving a murder on a cruise to Mars).

  • The guns of August - Barbara W. Tuchman : An engaging and narrative-driven recounting of WWI
  • The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies - Clark Ashton Smith : A collection of Lovecraftian short stories and poetry. CAS is what you get when a poet writes Lovecraft stories
  • German Philosophy 1760-1860 : The Legacy of Idealism : A book about Kant, Fichte, German Romanticism, Schilling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, etc
