We don't have an appropriate board for this, so...

Post books.

I recently read (most of) Ernest Hemmingway's The Sun also Rises for a class. It was boring at times, but the central characters who basically spend their time wasting their lives ever since the world essentially left them behind cut deep.

For pleasure, I've been (slowly) making my way through Gardens of the moon by Steven Erikson, Before they are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie, and A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin.

Wow, I thought we had one because I remember discussing the new Murakami book, but I guess that was the old board.

The last things I read were a bunch of true crime books. Those are always shit because I always read the 11k police files beforehand and can spot all the times where they bend the truth or outright exclude important information because it conflicts with the opinions they try to spew out as fact. Yet ignorant people who review them always jerk off about how "enlightening" they were

Speaking of Murakami though, I'm reading this



Not far enough to make any kind of analysis yet, but I will say the two world concept is interesting and keeps things fresh so far.

I haven't read anything you guys are talking about.
I read The Prince a few months ago.
It was entertaining and informative.

We have a thread _somewhere_

I haven't read anything lately

Reading is fun! There are many stories which are much better told in prose rather than animation/graphic-novel.

I'm personally finishing up the Temeraire series at the moment, no real plans for further readings though.
