Moby Dick. My first read, loving it so far. 😁

I am on the second book "The Great Hunt" of The Wheel of Time series.

I've been reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Love it so far!

Just read Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. Wonderful subversions of many tropes (the classic ya love triangle for one) and filled with rage. It's great.

Just finished John Scalzi’s “Lock In”, and enthralling and visionary read!

Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Continuing my journey in discworld - The Truth

Foundation Trilogy, by Isaac Asimov.

I think it's the first modern science fiction book I've read, I read 19th century ones like Verne and Frankenstein before though.

Just started the third Southern Reach book, Acceptance. Wasn't a huge fan of Book 2, but still down to find out more about the various mysteries of the series.

Second reading of The Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jamison. Each book won the Hugo award for fantasy in the year it was written. They're SO well written-real page turners!

Almost at the end of The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went To War in 1914 by Christopher Clark. Highly recommend it to all history lovers!

Just started the Silo books. Got to the end of the show and I’m too impatient to wait for the next season.

I finally started Murderbot series over the weekend. Already done with the first four novellas.

The Emperors Soul - Brandon Sanderson

I'm still reading Malazan Book of the Fallen

The wee free men by Terry Pratchett

Judgement of Mars by Glynn Stewart. I read the first four books in the series one after the other then took a break, so I’m looking forward to this next installment. This is the first sci-fi series I’ve read that also involves magic. The journey has been great thus far and I’m looking for more recommendations for books with the sci-fi and magic mix.

God Emperor of Dune. Really liking it so far and I hope to get through the whole chronicle by next year. (I’m not grinding them one after another). Dune (the first book) is one of my favorites of all time.

Also, Make Something Wonderful, a collection of Steve Jobs’ writings and speeches, which was free. I’ve enjoyed it, since I’m in that industry.

Just about to finish the second book in the Starbucks Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell. I'm an absolute sucker for historical fiction and really enjoy it so far. It's an unfinished series tho 😢

Roadside Picnic! Any stalker fanatics here?

just started “the couple next door” by shari lapena, just finished “my murder” by katie williams and “the girls” by emma cline today!

The Far Reaches which is a new collection of SciFi short stories from various authors. I just read #1 by James SA Corey, the duo behind The Expanse books and TV series. I thought it was excellent, great life lessons.

I'm listening to The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain by Bill Bryson. Written by an older, crankier Bryson than I'm used to, but still a decent "read".

Reading The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler. I like the book, but so far I'm finding the world-building and backstories more interesting than the main plot.

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson, The Enchiridion by Epictetus, and Letters from a Stoic by Seneca.

Reading The Stranger by Camus, listening to Pachinko by Min Jin Lee.

Currently knee deep in The Way of Kings, I took a massive break from it when I originally started as I was a little overwhelmed but I’m flying through the pages now, just started part 3 ^^

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Somewhat randomly I read The Remains of the Day a little while back and loved it, even though it's entirely unlike the stories I usually read.

I'm really enjoying Klara and the Sun too - in-particular I'm enjoying how the story has these quite sharp shifts in where you think the story is going, but they're just dropped casually, almost as a throw-away line, and you're left thinking about the huge implications of so few words.

I also just love Ishiguro's writing style and creativity - it's like he's painting a picture with black on white, and that picture is great - but the white space forms a picture too, and with that he adds so much more.

With each story he's setting out to take you on a specific emotional journey, but he's not holding your hand and showing you so much as guiding you with as little effort as possible such that when you get there, you feel like you got there on your own, and so it hits so much harder as a result - even though he very carefully led you. It's hard to describe! But it's amazing, I'd be surprised if I've not read everything of his soon!

Just finished Robots and Empire. So I think I'm going to read some stand alone before I jump into the Empire trilogy.

Going to read Uzumaki, and Brandon Sandersons Secret Project 3.

I've been slowly working my way through Gunmetal God's as well I may try to finish that in earnest as well.

Currently reading The Light on Farallon Island by Jen Wheeler. It's a novel that follows the story of a young woman in the 19th century who takes a job as teacher for the few children of the lighthouse keepers on remote Farallon Island. As you read, you slowly learn about the life she has run away from.

I just now finished "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber and Wengrow, which was an excellent investigation into early civilizations and a nod to their cultural implications for modern society. Looking to steal ideas for my queue in this thread!

I finished Waybound by Will Wight yesterday. It was a great finish to the Cradle series.

Now I'm on Honor of the Queen by David Weber. I don't think I'll make it through more than about the first five of the Honor Harrington books. They start to transition into a more political series than "space ships go boom", so that's about where I stopped the last time.

Then I've got The Day of the Triffids on my slate, but we'll see if that holds.

Finally finished Universal Harvester by John Darnielle after stalling out on it for exactly three months, sadly. Devouring Anxious People by Fredrick Backman now and loving it. Only 10 books in for the year, and falling way behind my goal.

I'm finally reading Declare by Tim Powers. All I can say is holy shit I never knew how much I needed this book in my life.

Currently reading Baseball: an illustrated history. Quite a thick book so I'll probably be reading it for a while. It's a nice change of pace since the book I was reading last month was pop fiction

Currently making my way through The Guns of August. It's pretty dense compared to what I usually read but something about the writing style makes each chapter fly by faster than expected!

The Spy and the Traitor [Non Fiction] by Ben MacIntyre. It's the story of Oleg Gordievsky, a kgb agent who was working with MI6 during the height of the cold War.

I took a chance on it and was pleasantly surprised.

I just started Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam.

About half way through James Clavell's Shogun. Highly recommended if you're looking for a deep adventure novel!
