Hyperion by Dan Simmons
My favorite book of all time. Hope you’re having fun with it!
I’m really enjoying it.
The Three Body problem by Cixin Liu
Before They are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie. It’s book 2 of the First Law series. I’m mainly a Sci-fi reader, but started this fantasy series, and wow, what a ride.
Aww man, if I go could go back into this series fresh again. I love this series.
If you enjoy the first trilogy the three standalone books are also great and the follow up trilogy is also fantastic.
But man, The Bloody Nine is an all time character.
Enjoy!
Wage Labor and Capital - Karl Marx. It’s very small but I’m taking my time with it
I’m in kind of a rotation of Sci-Fi (last: Children of Dune), classic novels (Dune kinda counts but my last from this category was Lord of the Flies), and nonfiction/leftism
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I borrowed it from a friend so long ago I don’t remember who it was. Like… More than 10 years ago. I didn’t expect it to start out so strangely, especially after finishing The Three Body Problem lol. And that one started very strangely!
Adrian Newey’s how to build a car
I’m reading that currently too! So far I’m really liking it.
Sounds interesting. I read Ross Brawn’s & Alan Parr’s “Total Competition”. Maybe touches the same topics from another angle.
I’m in the middle of the Wax and Wayne series by Brandon Sanderson, just finished Shadows of Self.
Sanderson’s books are a really fun read, highly recommend them to anyone interested in fantasy.
Last book of The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.
Aww man, if I go could go back into this series fresh again. I love this series.
If you enjoy the first trilogy the three standalone books are also great and the follow up trilogy is also fantastic.
But man, The Bloody Nine is an all time character.
I second the opinion of the audio book versions.
Enjoy!
TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol. 1, it may be a little bit outdated, but the core concepts still stand.
Stephen Kings IT. Also listening to Stephen King The Outsider in preparation of Holly coming out in September.
I’m very close to finishing The Sound and the Fury. It has lived up to it’s reputation of being opaque and difficult. Really more of a checklist book for me.
I am about midway through Neurotribes. It’s interesting, but has been slow going.
I’m finally picking up steam on my second read of Infinite Jest. Even better than the first time around.
I am about midway through Anathem. Neal Stephenson is a gifted writer, but for some reason I really lost traction on this one after I got through the world building and into the actual narrative.
I am also nearly done with my second read of American Gods. I have it on audiobook this time. Really enjoying the ensemble cast. It’s a good story and I enjoy Gaiman’s narrative style.
Idk why but ever since my youth I’ve never been able to focus on just one book at a time.
This sounds stressful to me. I am the complete opposite, I need to finish a book (or series) completely before I can move on to something else.
Neuromancer
“The Count of Monte Cristo”. Not in the middle, more the beginning. But it’s like my third read so I take it slow this time.
Escape from Billings Mall, by Chuck Tingle. It’s a choose your own adventure book!
