I am reading the first book of the series Empire of the Moghul right now.
Classified as historical fiction, it is very interesting to see how the kingdoms evolved and spread in Central Asia.

"Necropolis" (Gaunt's Ghosts 3) by Dan Abnett. Whole lot of Warhammer 40k goodness.
Segans " The Demon Haunted World"
Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones
I think that is the official title. It's set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn't touched on the events of that series.
Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it's definitely got me.
Currently listening through Worm again. I read it the first time, now I'm listening and it's just as good as I remember it.
Trunk Music by Michael Connelly
I've started a couple other books but i don't know if or when I'll finish them as I enjoy reading Connelly more.
The classic, The Fellowship of the Ring
The Time Hunters by Carl Ashmore, It's target audience is young but I enjoy books for any age so it's an easy read!
Not a book, but a series. 2nd book specifically of the manga series Black Bird.
My brother and sister-in-law got me a box set of it not knowing it's a shoujo series (less action and more romance focused) and so far it's interesting enough to keep me interested.
Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik.
Star By Star. Reading through the old EU New Jedi Order books again. The old EU is the best part of Star Wars.
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Actually I'm at 52%. The reason I stopped because of exams
Ministry for the Future. So good, so painful.
I don't know if it counts as "in the middle", but I left off reading a book about heaven 8 had borrowed from my mom before I lost religion, and completely lost interest in it.
Don't think I'll ever go back, but that's the book I left unfinished. Haven't read anything in years. I was big on audiobooks for a while before I couldn't afford audible anymore.
Used to have a job that I could listen while I worked on my own and because of that I was able to go through a bunch of them.
One I get through my current medical condition (probably a few years off) and I go back to work, I hope I get another job like that.
Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.
I haven’t started it yet but my next book is The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.
Within the last month or two I’ve read Song of Achilles, The Women Could Fly, The Book Eaters, and Babel. I’d recommend all of them, especially Babel.
The enterprise of death, it's a fun read
Rereading Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné, so I can read the new book, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths. Been a few moments since I did a full reread.
I have Greg Egan's Scale and John Shirley's Stormland next on the tsundoku.
I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti
Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It plays in a alternative medivial fantasy world where the sunlight gets blocked after a loud rumbling. It tells the story of a you man who gets recruited in a organization of hunters that kill the supernatural while the world gets conquered by the vampires, that can't be hurt by the sun anymore.
One of the best dark fantasy books, I have read in a long time.
Pride and Prejudice, it's fine so far
Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson. Recommend if you like historical fiction & the 20s.
The Bayern Agenda by Dan Moren. It’s decent. Wouldn’t say it’s my favorite yet and I’m halfway through. There’s a lot of talking in rooms for a political action sci-fi series. Pace is a bit slow for my taste.
Advanced Marathoning
The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence
I am Pilgrim - Terry Hayes & Cell - Stephen King
