Herb Mertz, The Selection Effect.

I just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It was okay, though I don't think it lived up to the hype for me. I actually preferred Klara and the Sun to this one, though still worth a read.

The Gate of the Feral Gods; Book 4 of recently 6 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl LITRPG series by Matt Dinniman. It's been an absolute blast so far, and I highly recommend the series if you like some combination of tabletop RPGs, cats, death games, or explosions.

The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne.

Overlord. I've need to finish volumes 14-17, but it demotivates me that author abandoned his work.

A. Das and T. Ferbel -Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics.

It was an interesting book but a horrible experience in general. I gotta finish this degree

Currently reading war and peace by Tolstoi

I read The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb and it was fantastic

Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything (Viktor E. Frankl)

"GOD: An Anatomy" by Francesca Stavrakapoulou.

"An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous."

This is How You Lose the Time War

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Death's End by Liu Cixin

The Poet by Michael Connelly

Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:Re. A decade late but I loved it.

I finished Machine Learning (short story anthology) by Hugh Howey about an hour ago, so pretty fresh.

Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Unsurprisingly, I've become more conscious of my bedtime, but one small diagram was significant to me— having small periods where you wake up every 3 hours or so was a normal part of sleep. Since then, I've become less stressed over the quality of sleep I was getting, which then improved my sleep quality...

Oryx & Crake - solid start to a Margaret Atwater series. Lots of world building and exposition. Looking forward to continuing the series. Currently reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King

The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of Their Lost World - Steve Brusatte

Just finished reading Waybound, the 12th and final book in the Cradle series by Will Wight.

Just finished re-reading all of the pre-Disney Star Wars novels. I'm into Patrick O'Brian's standalone novels now, starting with "The Unknown Shore".

I just finished The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. I've kind of half-followed Welcome to Night Vale for years and enjoyed all the books so far.

I'm currently reading House of Leaves. This is my second attempt, after making it about halfway a few years ago. It's a great book, but a challenging read because it's dense and shifts context frequently. I find that the context-switching adds to the unsettling feel that the book is going for, but it's definitely not for everyone.

It was called “Drunk” and was about human’s history with inebriates with an emphasis on alcohol. For a book on booze it was incredibly dry and while the author made some decent points he tended to just repeat them over and over again.

I’ve been on a memoir kick. Specifically women celebrities. I just finished Mean Baby by Selma Blair and it was good. I’m about to start Hello Molly by Molly Shannon.

The last new book I read was Ready Player One.

The last book I've read in general was At The Mountains of Madness for the umpteenth time.

Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis

somewhat interesting and in the same vein as the Barsoom/Mars books by Burroughs but more preachy and less action.

It was on the "free" pile at the library.

I'm chewing my way through the stormlight archives by Bryan Sanderson. Just finished book 2.5, on book 3 now.

The mysterious affair at styles.
