There’s a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly ‘What are you reading’ threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?
I’m finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams’ Stoner. Excited to see what is next!
Just getting started on the last book of the Cradle series by Will Wight. Enjoyed the first 11, and hoping it’s as good!
just finishing The Indifferent Stars Above about the Donner party - really great. these folks were built of different stock than we are.
Now I’m reading Wheel Of Time, stuck on the 4th book.
Loved Wheel of Time, but damn does it slow down a lot after the first three books. There are some really awesome moments in the next ones but there are so many threads to follow that the overall story sometimes barely moves in the course of a book. It speeds back up again a little after Sanderson takes over for the last three.
I forced myself to finish book 10 which is said to be the most boring one. Lost motivation to finish the series and still stuck at book 11. Still hoping to pick it up and finish the series one day.
I’m reading The Historian by Elizabeth Tova. It’s been a difficult read because I have to actively fight the urge to skip ahead and see what happens—the story is so tense and stressful and I can’t take it LOL.
I just picked up a copy of house of leaves. Saw it referenced a few times in some other media I liked and figured I may as well check out the book itself.
It’s a dense read, but I enjoyed it. I’ll admit that I enjoyed it more when I became willing to skim over spots when it got a little too tedious. I’ve got my own theory on what’s going on, and I’d talk about it if I knew how to insert spoilers.
