Perdito station by China Meiville(hope I spelled it right) I just started a week ago and have only been able to read a bit because of time constraints but so far I'm pretty intrigued.

Stephen Kings IT. Also listening to Stephen King The Outsider in preparation of Holly coming out in September.

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

Book 4 of the Wheel of Time (about half way through). Series has been something I've started on and off for 20 years, but picked up the first book after my Dad died a couple of months back and finding it a lot easier to stick with it this time around.

I'm just started reading Wool by Hugh Howey. I finished the first season of Silo and didn't want to wait a year to get more of the story. The book has been great so far. It seems like the show followed the book pretty well with a few changes.

Catch-22. The classic itself

I'm halfway through the first Witcher book. After being disappointed with the Netflix show, I had to read the original source. I'm enjoying it so far. My goal is to read them all and play the games afterwards.

The Morning Star by Karl Ove Knausgård. Only read the first couple of chapters yet but I'm enjoying it so far.

Endymion by Dan Simmons. Part of the Hyperion Cantos.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin". So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading "Tuesday's with Morrie" which is fantastic.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter - Brando Sando

Blindsight by Peter Watts. it's a really unique take on first contact, but wow is it dark

The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros.

Seeing Like A State by James C Scott.

Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

Just finished Ten Days that Shook the World. I really enjoyed it. It's one thing to read history from a large-scale top down perspective, another to see how a revolution was actually conducted on a minute by minute street by street basis. Looking for the next thing to read now

Everything is f*cked.

Convenience Store Woman - Sayaka Murata. I'm on page 30 of 160.

Also procrastinating on these:

• Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus - Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley
• A Manual for Creating Atheists - Peter Boghossian

"The Dawn of Everything"

It's a thick one but it's worth it because it gives you a whole different view on history

The Wheel of Time

Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy. Book is outright brutal but written in such a compelling way you can't help be want more. Fantastic writer.

Consider Phlebas

Minima Moralia by Theodor Adorno and Postmodernism by Frederick Jameson. Just finished Lacan’s lectures on the 4 fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis and understood about 10%. I’m playing catch-up with the serious people from the last century.

The Wastelands - Stephen King. It's kinda nearing the middle of the Dark Tower series and it's pretty damn good.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson. It’s the third of his Kickstarter books and I’m enjoying it so far, but I’ve barely started it.

A couple, The Institute by Stephen King and Cosmos by Carl Sagan

Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle and The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić. I always go over two books at the same time where one has heavier material (philosophy/history) and the other lighter that I can read when I'm tired.

Escape from Billings Mall, by Chuck Tingle. It's a choose your own adventure book!

The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick.

It's fantasy, but feels pretty fresh to me with the focus being on the main characters trying to con a rich family and less of the more usual (but no less fun) adventuring, combat etc. (at least so far, I'm still very early in the book).
