Now, unfortunately, I don't have free time to read. But I really hope that I'll soon be able to go on vacation and on vacation I can read at least a few books.
And thanks, here are so many interesting books advised

Just finished some good stuff not too long ago - Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin immediately became one of my favorite science books.

I read extensively about evolutionary biology, so that book looks like it's right up m alley. Thanks for the heads-up.

Just started Jerusalem by Alan Moore. Brick of a book but I’m enjoying it so far. He has a very interesting mind. I’m also listening to Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. Riveting account of the battle of Thermopylae and the events preceding and following it.

how are you liking the three body problem trilogy? i was thinking about picking it up.

[Lazarus78]

1984 is a great read, especially in these times. eerily accurate.

and dune. i think i've started that book like 3-4 times. i can't get past the first 50 pages. one day.

Currently working my way through Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin, and The Dark Forest (book 2 in the "Three Body Problem" trilogy - that's not the real name of the trilogy but that's what everyone calls it) by Liu Cixin. Plus some non-fiction - The British Are Coming by Rick Atkinson and The United States of Paranoia Jesse Walker.

Just finished some good stuff not too long ago - Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin immediately became one of my favorite science books.

And if you want 700+ pages on the battle of Midway, you cannot do better than Shattered Sword by Anthony P. Tully and Jonathan Parshall. Fan-freaking-tastic read.

The Lady of the Lake- Book 8 in The Witcher series. They are a fantastic read, and the games are pretty awesome too.

[Grendel]

Yup, every once and a while I lose interest in reading novels and such and tend to just stick with magazine articles.

yall ever get in those moods where you just don't want to read?

With books? All the time. I read a lot, but it's all paintball stuff, random articles & news. I rarely read books. I haven't finished a book in probably 4 or 5 years. That said, I'm slowly working through 1984. After that I'd like to pick up Dune. Occasionally I'll open up my illustrated copy of The Art of War and read a few pages. Very interesting, but only in small bites (for me, anyway).

I started Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, but I'm not really feeling the... I dunno, "historical" feel? Feels like I'm reading the Holy Bible, where I'm not at all surprised at what happens. It's like reading an account of something, with no real suspense or anything super surprising. It's fun reading up on mythology, but I have problems getting through something book-length on the topic. I'll say this about the book though- it's pretty informative & Gaiman words it in a way that's more palatable than other works on mythology I've glanced through.

A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie. Before that I took a break from that series to read Midnight in Chernobyl by Adam Higginbotham.

[Lazarus78]

just finished earth unaware in the ender's game series. about to dive into some stephen king. not sure which one. i'm thinking full dark no stars, maybe?

[lew]

Gotcha, and I can kinda see what yer gittin' at.

[Lazarus78]

yeah, i'm no doubt reading online, but in my brain, it's very different than reading a physical book.
