Hey Beehaw, whatcha reading right now?
Currently reading Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy really fun reads though it got weird in some places
The eyes of the dragon by Stephen King
I read this so many times that my hardback copy started breaking. You know how the edges of the outer cover about 2/3 of the way down start getting fuzzy from being held when you’ve taken off the dust jacket? Almost fuzzy enough to make into a rope for escaping from a tower.
Pattern Recognition, William Gibson.
Gibson is tough to get into, personally, but his stories are very cool!
Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub
The Murderbot Diaries.
I’ve been enjoying it, it has a surprising amount of heart for a series about an emotionally damaged not-robot.
I’ve reread the series more than once, and I hardly ever reread books—I just can’t get enough of Murderbot! I’m anxiously awaiting the new release, System Collapse, due out later this year.
Currently reading “Brave New World”, Aldous Huxley. Next up Isaac Asimov’s Foundation.
Foundation books are great! Go for it!
@Kamirose I am currently reading the hobbit
Currently working my way through the Three Body Problem series. They are very good but I’m not sure how much I’m enjoying them, they are pretty bleak in places.
Fantastic novels. Skip the redemption of time though. It’s terrible
I listened to the first two on audio book. I’m in the same boat as you, where I thought they were good, and pretty thought provoking, but very bleak, and almost propagandistic, I can’t really explain it though
The Two Towers. I’ve been needing to read more slowly in the past few years for health reasons, and I am finding lotr just so perfect for that. The nature descriptions are absolutely to die for.
“After all, why shouldn’t I write about trees for three pages? It’s my own book, my precious.” - JRR Tolkien
PRECISELY.
Finally finished with Pattern Recognition, William Gibson. It was… nice, it definitely felt like Gibson was uncomfortable writing in the present tense.
Next up is a Brazillian book, As águas-vivas não sabem de si by Aline Valek
do comic books count? i just started reading DCeased. otherwise i’ve finally cracked open Lolita, it’s an interesting but disgusting read.
I’m halfway into “Guards! Guards!” by Pratchett. My first story of his, and I’m having so much fun!
Once you’ve read that, get a copy of Nightwatch. Much the same cast of characters, but it’s widely considered to be Terry’s magnum opus. That book is a damn work of art.
#GNUTerryPratchett
Yeah, I already have planned to read the whole night watch saga. Then I’ll see what other side of the Discworld to move on to
You’ll love these books!
Jealous you get to read them all for the first time.
ahhhh welcome to the discworld!!
Expeditionary Force: Match Game
Dracula and Treasure Island. I do so love Project Gutenberg and my Kobo
Cool thing about Dracula is that, because it is in the public domain, and because it is told through journal entries, it can be read in the real time of the entries. https://draculadaily.substack.com/ is a newsletter that sends you emails of the particular day’s entries if you’re into that. It’s already well underway though, but could be fun for a reread next year
If you like Project Gutenberg, you should also check out Standard Ebooks. They take Project Gutenberg books and format it to be nicer on ereaders.
Looks awesome, thank you! 😄
Memories of Ice - Malazan Book of the Fallen I am really enjoying this series so far. I get absorbed right in even with how dense it is at times.
