type s***

No?

I’m hunting you for sport

Slight difference

I haven't read it personally YET so can't speak from experience, but the Sun Eater series seems to be the series that everyone is hyped about right now and are calling the best modern sci fi series. I've seen an interview with the author that Dune was definitely an inspiration for him. Reviews say there's a lot of political intrigue and philosophical musings, and religions (both original and real ones that exist in our real world) seem to definitely play a role in it

7 chapters in and I’m hooked
The magic system is so damn unique

you late brother! month almost over! lol jk

I’ma be finished by tomorrow
I didn’t peep that it was book of the month till the other day though lol I don’t frequent the book threads as much as I should

Thanks for the suggestion, theres a lot of good reviews and after watching Mikes Book Reviews’ Why You Should Read video on Sun Eater, im pretty much sold lol

bout to start Lonesome Dove

if anybody wants to do a read along and discuss it in here lmk

Had no idea Herzog put out a novel, excitement skyrocketed when I saw it was about that Japanese soldier who kept fighting for decades after WW2 has anyone read it?

I had started Joe Ambercrombie's The Sword Itself. I honestly couldn't maintain focus on it past chapter 4. It's not that I did not necessarily enjoy it, but think I'm gonna save it for a later read. I've tried starting it over twice now, and I stop at the same point both times.

Idk if it's reading fatigue or what but haven't read anything for the past 2 weeks now. I have been reading a book pretty much weekly for the last year and a half at this point. I will probably go back to the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee later this month. I read the first book, which was pretty good. After that I'm either gonna go towards more sci-fi. Read some Andy Weir novels. Looking for more black authors, or non-white authors in the genre. I really enjoyed N.K Jemisin's Shattered Earth trilogy. The themes of the series stuck with me more than I realized.

reading The Anthropologists by Aysegul Savas... so f***ing good man

done with Part II of Lonesome Dove. what a book

Decided to pick up the dark tower series late last year.

I liked the first book but it took me a few months to get through. Started the second and am now on pace to finish it in about a week. I have no idea where the rest of the series will go but I'm loving it at the moment. King is so descriptive about certain things it usually ends up paying dividends later on when it compounds on something else.

Looking forward to the rest of the series but genuinely have no idea where it will go, besides to the tower, hopefully.

Reading Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison right now

Only twenty pages in so far but I'm already completely stunned by the level of command and power her writing has

read that last year and it became one of my favorite books of all time. and yea man Toni Morrison is on another level

you're in for a ride, enjoy

Got me even more excited to continue

woah the ui on this sxn is cool

Read that in January. Great book. Toni is a master

"Boy, you got better things to do with your time. Besides, it's time you started learning how to work. You start Monday. After school come to my office; work a couple of hours there and learn what's real. Pilate can't teach you a thing you can use in this world. Maybe the next, but not this one. Let me tell you right now the one important thing you'll ever need to know: Own things. And let the things you own own other things. Then you'll own yourself and other people too. Starting Monday, I'm going to teach you how."

F*** this wretched world we've built on this earth

doesn't work if your kindle is up-to-date at 15.8.1, but it's being worked on 👀

I finished reading Lightbringer in the Red Rising series

I need Lysander's head on a spike

I need him skinned alive and shot into the sun

irish literature over russian tbh

RIP Mario Vargas Llosa 🇵🇪🕊️

absolute legend

My (writing) GOAT

I've always wondered about his right-wing pivot. Conservativism contains a lot of implicit fear, can this be seen in his work? War of the End of the World and Death in the Andes (both of which I would describe as materialist) communicate some fear that the world is changing beyond recognition, and during Peru's 1990 Presidential Election Vargas Llosa's proposed policies became the inspiration for the Peruvian Army's genocidal plan to eliminate vulnerable populations. How does one go from the veneration of the peasant in War of the End of the World to wishing them all to be sterilized in less than a decade?

Just got to pt 2

Extremely thankful for this book
