I have a Goodreads account but I don't leave reviews (beyond a star rating). I just created an account to see for my year reading challenge. I'm on 13/15 with just over a month and a bit to go.

I fooled myself and said I could do 40 lmaoo also made an account this year

I started on 25, I think. Then changed it to 20. Then settled on 15...

I think I can push 20 next year.

In my defence, I read two books that are over 1000+ pages. That’s like five books counted as two.

I'm reading a 3in1 atm which is taking me time too

Next year I'll be easier on myself haha. What were those 2 books btw?

War and Peace and The Brothers Karamazov

I’ll save Anna Karenina for 2020

Finished

Reading

1 ahead of schedule for 52 books in 2019.

Rereading Godel Escher Bach

Finished Heavy Radicals. It's a really specific example with wider reaching implications of intelligence infiltrating leftist groups in the 60s/70s while the underlying circumstances that birthed those groups shifted dramatically. Aaron Leonard has a more recent book expanding on the topic. Might check it out down the road.

Started these two:

47/52 on the year.

Damn there's ppl out here reading 1 book a week for a whole year. Nice to see

My first book is coming out in December. I’m wondering if I’ll post it here or in creative showcase.

What’s the premise?

Just started The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason. s*** bout to go south, I can feel it.

I love twin peaks!!! It’s a dark comedy self help book

I’m reading Colson Whitehead’s new Nickel Boys book. Got it yesterday and hope to finish today or tomorrow. It’s pretty good, maybe a little underwhelming tbh. Only really powering through for academic reasons

Sounds interesting. Definitely drop us a link or something when it’s out, we’ll peep for sure!

I found the leak if you want it

Anyone else get excited about ordering book(s) to only remember you have a big a queue of books you ordered previously that you still need to read?

It's lit.

All new translations of Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevski are 50 euros here in the Netherlands
This week they released a 30 euros version, definitely going to get that one. Can't wait to read it

I bought a secondhand paper white e-reader for $15 and pirate all my books from Libgen.

Been meaning to try more audiobooks lmao I'm sleeping on that

Margaret Atwood - The Blind Assassin

Capitalist Realism was a life changing book for me

Finished Kafka On The Shore in 7 days exactly

Book is a ride

You read oryx and crake? I’m not a huge Atwood fan but that’s my favourite book of hers, written like 20 years ago but super relatable today very science fiction but deals with s*** like teens getting radicalized watching f***ed up s*** on the internet, watching too much p***, the divide in career opportunities from students studying stem versus the arts it’s super dope

I meant to quote your post about the Atwood book lol
