The Books of Blood

Stephen King's Dark Tower series is my go-to epic fantasy. I'm about to start a 4th trip to the tower once I'm done with my current listen.

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card, and a select few other books in the series (Speaker for the dead and Enders Shadow most notably) - Card at the top of his game is fantastic, I just wish he didn't dive completely off the deep end.

Tangentially, Berserk, if you include manga. Hands down my favorite piece of media altogether.

Ascendance of a Bookworm series by Miya Kazuki (Light Novel) and on every reread i discover something new that was forshadowed.

There is whole instance dedicated to that series.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky

The Little Prince, because nothing cuts so quick as real life disguised as a silly bed-time story.

Harry Potter The Martian The Cosmere (all for Sanderson's cosmere I've done a few times) The First Law Trilogy

One I will reread but just haven't yet: Uprooted Codex Alera Legends and Lattes

I reread most of my books but "player of games" by Iain M. Banks I read so many times I broke it and had to buy a new copy. Weirdly, I don't think it is the best of his books, it is just a fun read.

A more obscure author David Eddings, did a bunch of fantasy series. The Belgirad and the mallorian were two that I've read the most but the others are great also.

Also Tolkian. And Harry Potter

Stewart O'Nan, "Last Night at the Lobster". It's about the night a Red Lobster runs its last shift before closing for good in gritty upstate New York town. It's SO good. All his books are really, The Speed Queen is about a woman on death row being interviewed by Stephen King. Can't recommend them enough.

Ascendance of a Bookworm, shoutout to !aoblightnovel@bookwormstory.social

I’ve never been one for reading. Even for books with movies I love, I always found reading books myself a chore.

But when I saw the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime, I wanted to know what was going to happen after the season ended. This lead me to the Manga, which was behind at the time, then the light novel.

The word is rich and it has a depth that isn’t daunting. The character you meet feel like they have their own lives, and the sheer number of side stories which isn’t about our main character is wonderful.

This was the series the made me get an eReader just for the books and the many spin offs. And I now preorder it to get the prerelease chapters to get my bookworm fix every mynesday.

The translation work is amazing the story is my cup of tea, and I will recommend it to those who want something new.

The trilogy that Silo is based on is really good. Lots of bits you didn't know the first time thru, so reading again gives a lot more info because you know what's important.

There are many. The Idiot and Crime & Punishment both by Fedor Dostojevskij among the others.

I have read hitchhiker's guide four or five times, also the next two books. I've listened to them as audiobooks at least 10 times I'm not exactly keeping track but I used to have that on as my driving music.

I read snow crash twice and listened to it probably about a dozen times years ago. Now that I have teenage kids I'm not quite as impressed by its treatment of people in the book.

I've read most of the popular Cthulhu lure more times than I will freely admit.

When I finished reading Blood Meridian I said WTF, turned to the first page and read it again.

All 20 novels in the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian.

/never had the heart to read the unfinished 21st book.

The Revival, Stephen King (×3)
East of Eden, John Steinbeck (×5)
Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath, H.P. Lovecraft (×2)

And I plan on rereading:

The Exorcist, William Peter Blatty
Fear and Trembling, Søren Kierkegaard
Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy (after a bit of therapy)
Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurthy
Ian Toll's Pacific War trilogy
The Things Our Fathers Saw, Matthew A. Rozell

Childhood's End

Ulysses, Siddharta, On the Road.

I have 2 in mind.

• The Martian by Andy Weir
• Thieves Emporium by Max Hernandez (WARNING: sexual assult in chapter 10 but can be skipped)
