Literature

Currently trying to finish a book called Les protégés de Sainte Kinga (only available in French I'm afraid, it's recent and really obscure), the story mixes historical fiction with current-day crime fiction. The settings and scenario are interesting, but I'm not too fond of the writing style and the storytelling.

House of Leaves. It's a strange book.

Nabokov's Ada, or Ardor. As usual, I'm also slowly making my way through Joyce's Finnegans Wake in parallel to whatever else I'm reading.

A random question: is anybody aware of active modern writers with mastery of style comparable to Nabokov's?

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.

I just picked up a copy of house of leaves. Saw it referenced a few times in some other media I liked and figured I may as well check out the book itself.

I’m reading a Star Trek novel called “Killing Time” by Della van Hise. The first edition is infamous because it got recalled for being too slash-y lol.

Currently reading/listening to the Dresden series, on White Night right now, listening while I travel for work and the books are great fun

Finished up my reread of Dune and onto Dune Messiah. I also have House of Leaves and Beckett Molloy trilogy in the wings to start at some point.

Just started book 8 of The Expance series

I just read Uprooted, by Naomi Novik, simply because it was available with no wait time on Libby. What a great find! I devoured it in two days. It has a really nice take on folkloric fantasy and magic, and a nice satisfying arc that explains enough, while leaving a good amount of mystery.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera, a

Now I'm reading Wheel Of Time, stuck on the 4th book.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s the third in a really awesome, incredibly well thought-out sci-fi series.

Currently reading Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Just got a few books from my local library that I'm excited to start. I'm starting off with "Focused Forward: Navigating the Storms of Adult ADHD" by James M. Ochoa which I picked out because it was the smallest book in the ADHD category, ha.

I also got a book on Linux/Unix, Diabetes, a workbook for Bipolar, a healthy snack book, and an organization book. Not too too sure if I'll be able to finish it all by the time they're due, but its a nice varied selection.

Can You Forgive Her? by Anthony Trollope and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alenxandre Dumas.

If you haven't read The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, you gotta.

I am reading Discworld again. Just started Lords & Ladies and enjoying every minute of it
