Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis
somewhat interesting and in the same vein as the Barsoom/Mars books by Burroughs but more preachy and less action.
It was on the "free" pile at the library.
"GOD: An Anatomy" by Francesca Stavrakapoulou.
"An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippersβwith a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous."
The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of Their Lost World - Steve Brusatte
This is How You Lose the Time War
A. Das and T. Ferbel -Introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics.
It was an interesting book but a horrible experience in general. I gotta finish this degree
The Gate of the Feral Gods; Book 4 of recently 6 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl LITRPG series by Matt Dinniman. It's been an absolute blast so far, and I highly recommend the series if you like some combination of tabletop RPGs, cats, death games, or explosions.
5th book of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, currently reading. Before that I read the 4th book.
Overlord. I've need to finish volumes 14-17, but it demotivates me that author abandoned his work.
Dune
Currently reading war and peace by Tolstoi
I read The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb and it was fantastic
Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything (Viktor E. Frankl)
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Death's End by Liu Cixin
The Poet by Michael Connelly
Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul:Re. A decade late but I loved it.
I finished Machine Learning (short story anthology) by Hugh Howey about an hour ago, so pretty fresh.
The mysterious affair at styles.
The last new book I read was Ready Player One.
The last book I've read in general was At The Mountains of Madness for the umpteenth time.
Herb Mertz, The Selection Effect.
