I had to return Tress of the Emerald Sea before finishing it because my library loan ran out, but I placed a libby hold so I should be able to start up again soon. I enjoy it while I read it but for some reason I don’t feel a strong urge to continue it after I put it down, so I’ve been reading it for like, two hours at a time once a week or so.
Meanwhile, I checked out Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries, by Heather Fawcett and am enjoying it very much so far.
Currently reading Thinking Fast And Slow. Have been wanting to read something like it for a while now but my motivation just doesn't kick for me. I aimed to finish this book at some point this year
Not a Beehaw member, but still gotta answer it, lol.
Been enjoying post-modernist books right now, and just straight philosophy. It's all so intriguing.
Reading the classic White Noise by Don Delillo, in the middle of Discipline and Punish: The Birth of The Prison by Michel Foucault. Finished Shibumi by Trevanian a month or two ago, one of the most funny and badass reads I've been through. Looking forward to picking up some Byung Chul Han books after reading a PDF of his book The Burnout Society.
I am reading "Maskiner som tenker: Algoritmenes hemmeligheter og veien til kunstig intelligens" (Machines that think: The algorithms' secrets and the way to artificial intelligence) by Inga Strümke. I have learned many new terms, as well as artificial intelligence's history and fundamental concepts.
Currently listening to Red Rising by Pierce Brown on Storytel. Only 3h into it yet but enjoying it so far at least :)
I'm currently re-reading Transgender Warriors by Leslie Feinberg, for Pride Month!
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 just started reading the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. I am loving the dry humour and the perfect snapshot of London. It took me entirely too long to get to these due to going through an urban fantasy burnout, so I'm pleased I have so much to look forward to.
Just started reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Before that it was Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Just some light summer reading then?
Haha, yes. My local bookshop had a sale on new prints of classical books. I also picked up a copy Frankenstein that I've read already.
I'm in the middle of The Tommyknockers by Stephen King. I normally eat his books up quickly but this one has taken quite some time for me. Definitely my least favorite book of his so far, although I do enjoy parts of it.
Recently finished "how to do nothing" by Jenny Odell. Working on her latest book now about saving time.
Dracula and Treasure Island. I do so love Project Gutenberg and my Kobo
I've been reading the 40K Horus heresy series, currently on my 21st book of it.
