Books

I'm actually reading a book like right now, The Bourne Identity, it's phenomenal!

For some chill, positive vibes that had me up rather too late flipping pages, I'd recommend either or both of:

• Legends & Lattes - Travis Baldree
• The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - Sangu Mandanna

They're basically the novel version of a slice of life comic/manga. L&L is more high fantasy, while Very Secret Society is here on Earth if witches were real. It feels like there's a sub-genre of these kinds of stories popping up post pandemic and I'm all for it.

For something more action-packed, this one was incredibly engaging:

• The Blacktongue Thief - Christopher Buehlman

Hyperion Cantos -Dan Simmons Cryptonomicon - Neal Stephenson A deepness in the sly - Vernor Vinge Insane City - Dave Barry Where Eagles Dare by Alistair MacLean.

FWIW I am a 29 yo man who has read alot of scifi/fantasy including WoT, Malazan, Cosmere, Lotr, Dune, etc.. but back when Brandon Sanderson released his YA book (now trilogy? series?) "Skyward", I read the whole thing in 2 sittings. I was enthralled. Haven't experienced a total immersion like it since.
