Asklemmy

Call to Arms, by Lu Xun

It's a short story collection. I'm actually at the beginning, I've only read two stories so far. Kong Yiji is really good!!

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

Minima Moralia by Theodor Adorno and Postmodernism by Frederick Jameson. Just finished Lacan’s lectures on the 4 fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis and understood about 10%. I’m playing catch-up with the serious people from the last century.

Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

Convenience Store Woman - Sayaka Murata. I'm on page 30 of 160.

Also procrastinating on these:

• Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus - Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley
• A Manual for Creating Atheists - Peter Boghossian

Just finished Ten Days that Shook the World. I really enjoyed it. It's one thing to read history from a large-scale top down perspective, another to see how a revolution was actually conducted on a minute by minute street by street basis. Looking for the next thing to read now

Almost done with Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World. It's enjoyable but nothing to write home about haha

The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick.

It's fantasy, but feels pretty fresh to me with the focus being on the main characters trying to con a rich family and less of the more usual (but no less fun) adventuring, combat etc. (at least so far, I'm still very early in the book).

Escape from Billings Mall, by Chuck Tingle. It's a choose your own adventure book!

Everything is f*cked.

My notes for the next exam... Before that I was reading the Amaranthe series by G. S. Jennsen. I just finished the first three books which make up a trilogy of their own and don't want to start the sequel trilogy until exams are over because I have no self control

I haven’t started it yet but my next book is The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.

Within the last month or two I’ve read Song of Achilles, The Women Could Fly, The Book Eaters, and Babel. I’d recommend all of them, especially Babel.

Advanced Marathoning

Ministry for the Future. So good, so painful.

Star By Star. Reading through the old EU New Jedi Order books again. The old EU is the best part of Star Wars.

Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones

I think that is the official title. It's set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn't touched on the events of that series.

Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it's definitely got me.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie

Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan

The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence

The Bayern Agenda by Dan Moren. It’s decent. Wouldn’t say it’s my favorite yet and I’m halfway through. There’s a lot of talking in rooms for a political action sci-fi series. Pace is a bit slow for my taste.

Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.

Rereading Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné, so I can read the new book, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths. Been a few moments since I did a full reread.

I have Greg Egan's Scale and John Shirley's Stormland next on the tsundoku.

I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti

Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It plays in a alternative medivial fantasy world where the sunlight gets blocked after a loud rumbling. It tells the story of a you man who gets recruited in a organization of hunters that kill the supernatural while the world gets conquered by the vampires, that can't be hurt by the sun anymore.

One of the best dark fantasy books, I have read in a long time.
