Last book I finished? The Dragon Reborn. Currently reading? The Princess Diaries.
Ayyyyy, are you reading The Shadow Rising soon? I liked it more than the Dragon Reborn.
Yep! Just need to find a bit more time for it. I’ve got a book club with a friend where we’re reading through the series.
Do audiobooks count?
Leviathan Falls by James S. A. Corey. It’s the final book in The Expanse series. Really got hooked on it. I haven’t made time to find another book since then though 🤔
I read up to Cibola Burn but then ran out at the time, I haven’t gone back since books beyond that came out. I need to start over.
They definitely count as ingesting books but there is a difference between reading a book and listening to an audiobook.
Reading IS the activity but I feel like with audiobooks people are typically driving or something where the book is in the background. Though maybe some people put on headphones and just sit and listen or something. I don’t know if this makes me a snob lol.
Also The Expanse was the first book series I ever read. It was so good. And it made me like the show less even though the show is still great.
I just finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Great book, that not only coined terms like “avatar” and “metaverse” (for better or worse), but is also really well written. It somehow manages to find a tone that is consistent for the dystopian worldbuilding, the silly and self-aware things that happen in the world, and the philosophical aspect dealing with culture, religion and free will. Highly recommend!
And I’m currently reading his newest novel, Termination Shock. Quite different, but still has that Stephenson sense of world building that I love.
Everyone goes on about how important this book is, but I got barely 1/3 if the way through and bounced off it hard.
Horses for courses I guess.
Last finished was Acceptance by Jeff Vandermeer. Currently reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
The iRobot series by Asimov. Going into Foundation now.
I loved the ‘Foundation’ series! The 1st is in my top 5. ‘I, Robot’ was such a fantastic book as well, infinitely better than the movie.
