Fiction: The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles, Haruku Murakami
Non-fiction: The Way Of Chuang Tzu, Chuang TzuI’m reading through The Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. It’s decent book, but but can be pretty heavy at times. This is my second time reading it.
I am on book 2 of the Expanse series (James Corey) and enjoying it!
Just borrowed a copy from the library! Was going to start it today.
This month was a wacky selection for no good reason:
Pastoral Approach to Atheism; Pastoral Theology; Concilium Volume 23
Silver Canyon, Louis L’Amour
Compassionate Satanism: An Introduction to Modern Satanic Practice
Gateway, Frederik Pohl
Ethics 101: What Every Leader Needs To Know
Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns, Victor Dover
Babel, Kuang, R.F.
So how was school this week?
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been in a class with assigned readings like these books.
I’ve come full circle and now I read both for pleasure and for personal growth.
At the moment my current books are the Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth series) and Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. One is for general enjoyment, the other is for self reflection and growth.
As for me, I’m reading “E” Is For Evidence by Sue Grafton.
I may have commented about this author before.
Just finished The The Body Problem trilogy by Cixin Liu and I’m restarting The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.
Finishing both The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin, on my e-reader, and The Eye of the Bedlam Bride by Matt Diniman, listening to the audiobook.
The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. The final book in what has become one of my favorite fantasy series.
Unlikely Animals - Annie Hartnett
The quirkiness of this one balances out the very real, very heavy overarching themes.
Just finished the seven moons of maali almeida and the caliphs house. Highly recommend both.
Invasion: Downfall
I love a good pulpy thriller and holy shit is this good. Almost as good as reading the online reviews of people raging about it being racist. It’s a story guys
Just finished book 1 of “Malazan: Book of the Fallen” by Steven Erikson, “Gardens of the Moon”.
Immediately started book 2, “Deadhouse Gates”. It’s a Malazan summer, all 10 books in a row! :D
Re-reading my two favorite ones by Murakami - Hard boiled wonderland and The wild sheep chase.
Oh cool! I have it wish listed. Have you read any yet?
I’ve been reading The Recognitions (by William Gaddis) for months and I’m ready to be done with it. It’s brilliantly written, but it’s long and difficult in parts. So I’m kind of speed-reading the last 1/4 of it just because I’m losing steam. Don’t get me wrong… it’s a great book!
