Louis CK novel otw

Just finished Dune, very solid.
Alia is op af, feel bad for Chani, Paul and his mom underestimating Princess Irulan lol the narrator knows all

Now since i like to alternate from fiction to non-fiction, i started reading From Third World to First The Singapore Story: 1965-2000

Singapore Story is a great book

Desiderata

I have a long tbr and finally enough time to read, but I’m stuck reading AO3

This the first time I’m counting the days for some new releases

Louis ck debut

New Pynchon

Flyboy in the buttermilk reissue

Reading The Long Walk. Very good so far

Rest in Power to this Kenyan literary giant, Ngugi wa Thiong'o

It's my turn to choose a book for our work group chat, and I don't have a whole lot of experience with non-fiction so I wanted to ask y'all if you had any recommendations for me. They're typically non-fiction, though they don't have to be. It does have to be "somewhat related to personal development/government/confronting biases/etc."

For reference the past books we've read were:
As Long as Grass Grows, a book about environmental justice specifically through an indigenous lens, focusing on colonialism's effects on indigenous lifestyles and the environment.
Against Technoableism, a book examining how society views disability and how we can navigate that with a disabled-first perspective.

Any ideas? I'm open to anything you can think of!

This is on my TBR so just to warn you, I haven't gotten into it yet, but I've heard some good things and it's short so hopefully that means straight to the point

great rec, thank you very much!

"Tell all who will hear, the Reaper sails to Mars. And he calls for an Iron Rain."

"I will never serve you, Father of Lies. In a thousand lives, I never have. I know that. I'm sure of it. Come. It is time to die."

Braiding Sweetgrass, but it might be too samey to As Long as Grass Grows based on your description

reading The Passion According to G.H. by Clarice Lispector

good luck. I tried it but found it difficult.

ironically, I just saw someone at a bar reading it yesterday lol.

i do find it difficult as but there is a certain cohesion in her scatterdness i‘ve found and i do actually enjoy this stream of conscious style

especially as someone who knows people with ocd it feels like a sort of a gateway into what it may look like inside the mind

Has anyone else read (or is reading) the Sun Eater series??

Just finished book 4 and it is peak sci-fi!!

I just finished Empire of Silence last night. I gave it 3.5/5, I liked it for the most part but definitely thought it had some issues with the plot meandering in some parts and inconsistent investment in some of the side characters. VERY excited to move on to Howling Dark though because everything I read about it says it's a massive step up

Definitely let me know when you read Howling Dark. I also was not completely sold after EoS but books 2-4 genuinely kick everything up 8271638281 gears.

reading Catch 22 for the first time. It’s funny, but man it’s starting to feel kinda long lol. Barely halfway through and I’m feeling like “I get it”.

Anyone read joe abercrombie books? I'm on the last book of the age of madness trilogy

Idk if im gonna read red rising or Assasins apprentice next

Anyone itt read in search of lost time in its entirety? I’m about a quarter into vol 1, but there’s no way I’m finishing within 2 years. It’s kinda hard feeling motivation to read when you know you’re so far from finishing it

a good series will have you about to throw up at least once from foreboding
