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!

Essex Dogs. It's a historical fiction novel about a band of mercenaries aiding England's invasion of France in the 1300s. It's my palate cleanser after finished the third Stormlight Archives novel.

I'm currently working my way through The Infinite and The Divine by Robert Rath. I think it could be enjoyable without knowledge of Warhammer 40k, but it is set in that universe. One of the better extended universe type stories I have read so far.

I also want to start in on some of the programming books sitting on my shelf, and maybe finally start on American Psycho, but so far I've been busier reading comics and stuff on Lemmy.

Interesting, I started playing Boltgun and that ignited an interest into 40k. Think I can read that with next to no knowledge of the lore?

House of Leaves. It's a strange book.

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.

About 50% through Witch King by Martha Wells, and am so far highly enjoying whatever is going on with this worldbuilding.

Started "Moving Pictures" yesterday! After having read Mastermind by Evan Ratcliff recently I need something light and easy to read right now.
