The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
Segans " The Demon Haunted World"
My notes for the next exam... Before that I was reading the Amaranthe series by G. S. Jennsen. I just finished the first three books which make up a trilogy of their own and don't want to start the sequel trilogy until exams are over because I have no self control
Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones
I think that is the official title. It's set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn't touched on the events of that series.
Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it's definitely got me.
The enterprise of death, it's a fun read
I don't know if it counts as "in the middle", but I left off reading a book about heaven 8 had borrowed from my mom before I lost religion, and completely lost interest in it.
Don't think I'll ever go back, but that's the book I left unfinished. Haven't read anything in years. I was big on audiobooks for a while before I couldn't afford audible anymore.
Used to have a job that I could listen while I worked on my own and because of that I was able to go through a bunch of them.
One I get through my current medical condition (probably a few years off) and I go back to work, I hope I get another job like that.
The classic, The Fellowship of the Ring
Star By Star. Reading through the old EU New Jedi Order books again. The old EU is the best part of Star Wars.
"Necropolis" (Gaunt's Ghosts 3) by Dan Abnett. Whole lot of Warhammer 40k goodness.
The Joy of Abstraction by Eugenia Cheng
Category theory is awesome!
Rereading Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné, so I can read the new book, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths. Been a few moments since I did a full reread.
I have Greg Egan's Scale and John Shirley's Stormland next on the tsundoku.
The Bayern Agenda by Dan Moren. It’s decent. Wouldn’t say it’s my favorite yet and I’m halfway through. There’s a lot of talking in rooms for a political action sci-fi series. Pace is a bit slow for my taste.
Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Actually I'm at 52%. The reason I stopped because of exams
Advanced Marathoning
Reading: Everything is Under Control by Robert Anton Wilson Listening: Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions by J.S. Morin, Mikael Naramore (Narrator)
The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence
Ministry for the Future. So good, so painful.
I haven’t started it yet but my next book is The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.
Within the last month or two I’ve read Song of Achilles, The Women Could Fly, The Book Eaters, and Babel. I’d recommend all of them, especially Babel.
I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti
Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It plays in a alternative medivial fantasy world where the sunlight gets blocked after a loud rumbling. It tells the story of a you man who gets recruited in a organization of hunters that kill the supernatural while the world gets conquered by the vampires, that can't be hurt by the sun anymore.
One of the best dark fantasy books, I have read in a long time.
Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson. Recommend if you like historical fiction & the 20s.
Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan
I am Pilgrim - Terry Hayes & Cell - Stephen King
