The Dragon Reborn by Robert Jordan.

The first two books flew by. Things are changing a bit. I'm still having fun but Im going to take a WoT breather after this one.

Just started “Yumi and The Nightmare Painter”

Book 4 of the Wheel of Time (about half way through). Series has been something I've started on and off for 20 years, but picked up the first book after my Dad died a couple of months back and finding it a lot easier to stick with it this time around.

Cradle by Will Wight, I think I'm at book 8 of 11/12 (I don't usually look so I don't gauge how long til the end).

It's been a fun western take on a progression fantasy and cultivation novel.

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

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.

Revan from the Star Wars Legends series.

Catch-22. The classic itself

Perdito station by China Meiville(hope I spelled it right) I just started a week ago and have only been able to read a bit because of time constraints but so far I'm pretty intrigued.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin". So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading "Tuesday's with Morrie" which is fantastic.

I'm halfway through the first Witcher book. After being disappointed with the Netflix show, I had to read the original source. I'm enjoying it so far. My goal is to read them all and play the games afterwards.

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

Everything is f*cked.

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

The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros.

Seeing Like A State by James C Scott.

The Morning Star by Karl Ove Knausgård. Only read the first couple of chapters yet but I'm enjoying it so far.

Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle and The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić. I always go over two books at the same time where one has heavier material (philosophy/history) and the other lighter that I can read when I'm tired.

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!!

Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter - Brando Sando

A couple, The Institute by Stephen King and Cosmos by Carl Sagan

The Wastelands - Stephen King. It's kinda nearing the middle of the Dark Tower series and it's pretty damn good.

"The Dawn of Everything"

It's a thick one but it's worth it because it gives you a whole different view on history

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

The Wheel of Time

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson. It’s the third of his Kickstarter books and I’m enjoying it so far, but I’ve barely started it.

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.

The Joy of Abstraction by Eugenia Cheng

Category theory is awesome!

Endymion by Dan Simmons. Part of the Hyperion Cantos.

Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy. Book is outright brutal but written in such a compelling way you can't help be want more. Fantastic writer.

I'm just started reading Wool by Hugh Howey. I finished the first season of Silo and didn't want to wait a year to get more of the story. The book has been great so far. It seems like the show followed the book pretty well with a few changes.
