I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Oh crap! Potty training by Jamie Glowacki

Just started Illuminae the other day and I am powering through it. It's a completely different style book and I am loving the way the story is presented. Can't wait to finish it.

My wife and I are on T.A. White's Phoenix Chronicles. We both really love the series and once we finish this it will be hard to find a replacement series for us to read.

I'm reading the Wool omnibus from the library before I start watching Silo.

You are the first person I've seen here since the show has released that decided to read the book first. I really need to read it at some point, but I am already in the middle of two books for book clubs.

I'm half way through leviathan falls. Super excited to get to the end, sad because I don't know what to read after.

I'm 75% finished with the book myself! Going to jump into the Wheel of Time series after I cleanse my palette w/ some non sci-fi books

Would mort count?

I’m planning on reading The Expanse at some point, but currently I’m not reading any sci-fi, since I’m reading A Game of Thrones and Empire of Ivory.

tower by bae myung-hoon, early days yet.

Last few I've read recently:

  • Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clark
  • Goliath by C. P. James which I liked, and I'm wondering if anyone else has read
  • Infinity Gate by M R Carey
