I'm on my first re-read of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Last time I read it was about 15-20 years ago and it's every bit as delightful as I remembered.

@minorsecond Started Terry Goodkind's Wizard's First Rule few days ago and already loosing sleep over it. It has hooks deep in my flesh, last night was bad i just coudn't stop until fell asleep... I have 4 next books of the series ready to go, i might be in trouble.
I finished Barack Obama’s autobiography recently. It was on the heavier side, so it took me a while to get through it. But worth it and very insightful into his presidency.
I'm 40 pages away from finishing "Annals of the Former World," an entertaining and eye-opening, if at times technical, read about geology and the forces that shaped and continue to shape the planet. It's a great read. Also explains my username.
Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher.
Wonderfully captivating book. I only just started it (on chapter 4) but it brightens my day whenever I pick it up.
I loved "the hollow places", is this in a similar vein or something completely different?
Can't say, sadly. This is my first book by the author.
In the Distance by Hernan Diaz. Swedish kid ends up in California during the gold rush and is trying to find his brother who is in New York City. He travels east through the country against the current of settlers heading west. Very fun take on the western genre.
I'm reading 2 and have stalled out on both: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid A path with Heart by Jack Kornfield
Maybe I just need a break from reading?
The Jersey: The All Blacks: The Secrets Behind the World's Most Successful Team Peter Bills and The Way of Kings Brandon Sanderson.
Like both books pretty much
I am currently reading the Red Rising series of books by Pierce Brown and am currently on the fifth book, "Dark Age". The series is a science fiction saga set in a future society where humanity is divided into a color-coded caste system. The narrative follows Darrow, a Red, the lowest caste, who leads a revolution against the ruling Golds after discovering the society's inherent injustices. It's blending elements of political intrigue, brutal warfare, social commentary, personal growth and a thrilling exploration of power, class struggle, and the human spirit. I'm really excited about it and it totally captivated me.
Just finished up mistborn era 2. Probably going to go for some shorter stand alone next. Maybe I am legend.
Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages Ted Kaczynski, Industrial Society and its Future
I tend to read 2-3 books in parallel and randomly continue reading based on mood. I love Hall's writing style and the amount of knowledge he put into the work and considering that he wasn't even 30 when it was first published, it's an incredible read for someone who recently had a spiritual awakening.
Rereading Ted's Manifesto after reading of his death yesterday. Its impressive how he foresaw what technology would do to our society and how disruptive the industrial-capitalist-technocratic trifecta would be for humans.
