Just started re-reading "The Book of the New Sun."

Also working through 7 more "Legend of Drizzt" books. Decided to take in some fast food fantasy.

I ended up reading the entire series many years ago along with several of the Brian Herbert novels. Once you get into it, the series is engrossing.

autococker04 Yeah it's still slow, but I'm getting into it more and more. There's just a lot to absorb so I think you really just have to take your time with it.

I quit in the first chunk because I thought it was a slog. Maybe I should give it another shot.

I'm just about to start Dune for the first time. Unfortunately the person who loaned it to me warned me that the first chunk is a bit of a slog so I'm procrastinating starting it.

I've been on a kick of very old books. I wrapped up The Castle of Otranto back over winter. Decent, but very dramatic. The traditional use of the word "ejaculate" made me giggle.

Then I read Frankenstein. Just finished that a few weeks ago. VERY good book. It takes you all over Europe, and will have you feeling pity for Frankenstein, his monster, and all parties involved. Rather good ending as well (or, maybe not "good", but interesting and well done). Not what I had expected. I honestly loved the book.

Now I'm reading The Iron Heel by Jack London. It's about a failed socialist revolution (I think? So far, that's what I can tell) in the US, but has all of these footnotes because it's supposed to be a reference book used by some civilization that exists 700 years in the future? It's weird. It starts off boring and difficult to follow because the protagonist has to make his ideology known, and that was done by the use of massive amounts of dialog and argumentation. The bit about metaphysics was the worst. But now that I'm past all of that, I'm enjoying it. It really shows well how much influence the moneyed classes have over government and enforcement. Honestly, could almost be a case for anarchism. There are a lot of references to actual events that happened during the late 1800's/early 1900's, and that makes it very interesting.

I’m currently working my way through The Expanse series. I’m nearing the end of book four of nine.

[Anodos]

Just wrapped up "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. Not sure what I will read next. Might wait till the baby is born and jump into something new afterwards.

[Grendel]

True Believer by Jack Carr

[autococker04]

Just finished “the gangs of New York” because the movie was awesome. I wish I would have just left it at the movie, but if you like history it was detailed and interesting.

I am now reading The Wretched of The Earth and plan to read Society of the Spectacle next

[Axel]

Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

My loan for archipelago just came up again, hoping to get through another quarter of it lol. I just finished A Day in the Live of Ivan Denisovich by the same guy and it was a quick one, definitely worth the read.

Just completed "The Benedict Option" by Rod Dreher

Just started "Paradise Lost" By Milton this morning.
