Ooh, can't quite remember

For example, Fatal Chaos series by Ben

 

[ThatsNotRich]

The last book I read was The Dark Tower II The Drawing of The Three. Trippy book. Especially if you didn't read the first one

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

I'm rereading Los pasos perdidos from Alejo Carpentier, Magic realism, introspection and a good sense of adventure.

 

[CaesariusMagnum]

Currently half-way through "Insane Emperors, Sunken Cities, and Earthquake Machines" by Garrett Ryan.

I'm a sucker for historical non-fiction.

 

[Tsetskhli776]

I read up to the last 2-5 pages of Interview with a Vampire, and it got ruined by the rain before I got back.
Haven't read a full book, since.

After playing the Demo for Dynasty Warriors Origins the other day, I decided to finally hunker down and start up the Moss Roberts translation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What makes it really interesting here in 2025 is reading this story that's already embellished passed through several thousand years of history and into a new language. So much is different from today, yet just as much isn't.

 

[zacharinolongpants]

I'm currently reading Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon. It's been a dense read, but it's so immersive, funny, poignant, and plain old strange, that I keep coming back to it.

 

[UrielSol]

the tale of the body thief by anne rice (i do love vampire stories)
but anne rice books have a special place in my heart it was my granma who love her book and teach all about vampires and other fantastical creatures.
If this bout manga hmm there many but the last i would be goblin slayer

 

[Stingy Perry]

I just finished reading No Safe House by Linwood Barclay, it’s a heck of a thrill ride.

 

[Don Patch]

"The Buried Giant" by Kazuo Ishiguro.

 

[TropicalFreeze3499]

Slaughterhouse-Five. So it goes.

 

[elehayyme]

I'm currently reading "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

Hoping to get through some classics later in the year but it depends on time and if the library has them as an e-book...

 

[Nidstang]

Last read was Drink by Iain Gatley. Basically a book about the history of alcohol and alcohol consumption. Before that was Tobacco by Iain Gatley, same idea but for tobacco.

Current read is All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Skurazaka. I've read the manga before, and loved it. First time reading the actual novel. Loving it.

Next read is either going to be the Akira manga by Katsuhiro Otomo, Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa, or Smoke Screens: The Truth About Tobacco by Richard White.

After those, I'm going to continue my always-ongoing-deep-dive through all of Tolkien's works.

 

[RetroLaw]

Jagaaaaaaan.

Probably gonna re read Superior Spider-man's original arc after that. That arc was sweet and I love the main artist.

 

[Izzy]

Well last time I read something it was Space Pirate Captain Harlock by Leiji Matsumoto and Blackjack #7 by Osamu Tezuka. Outside of that was Art of War by Sun Tzu. And outside of that, working on another book of poetry.

 

[Vittum_Vancourt]

It's a book that delves into the unique experiences of adolescence in a school setting, touching on themes such as bullying, loneliness, discrimination, and other related topics. If I recall correctly, Murakami (author of Norwegian Wood) has recommended the author and her works, so you can expect a high-quality read. I haven't finished it yet, I'm about halfway through

 

[Ajderniz]

Gee, uh...
Huh. I'm not an avid reader, but I like to ADHD my way through lit. It's kinda like games, y'know? You start playing, then get bored and pick up another game, but never leave out the possibility of finishing the previous one.
So, these count as "reading":

• Silence by Shuusaku Endo
• Life is a Dream by Calderon de las Barcas (it's super short, why haven't I finished it???)
• Mamita Yunai by Carlos Luis Fallas
• The LOGH novels

And "recently finished", only Crime and Punishment by Dosto evsky

OH I HOW COULD I FORGET THE DYING EARTH!

I guess I do read the Bible everyday too :3

 

[JackNoir413]

I dont read very often during the classes period but on the trips to campus i´ve been reading "the sleepwalkers"
its about the political situations during the decades previous to ww1. its pretty interesting im about halfway through and its really long because it goes into a lot of details about the conflicts between germany and the other european powers.

Ever since college I've been mostly reading textbooks. Self study is quite fun since the pressure to present or test is gone. Been reading up on Universal Algebra cause algebra was always what interested me most.

Hey! Fellow self-studier! My current interests are more the nervous system in general and molecular cell biology. I love physics too, but it kicks my ass, which is a good segue for me to exclaim: I'm so jealous of people who can get into math!! You're so lucky! I suffer from dyscalculia. I can do logic all day long, but numbers (quantities) will simply jump around and never stay still. I would LOVE to get into algebra and calculus but I would need unaffordable amounts of tutoring or schooling. It sucks. I love mathematics like a quadriplegic loves football.

Oh my God, that one made me so sad
