Books, CAN YOU READ?! Options

[Dr Strum]

This thread is for discussion of books. Books you're reading, books you've read, books you're interested in, etc.

But anyways. I'm currently reading Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It's interesting, but I'm having difficulty getting into it, partially because of school, and partially because the month before I started it, I had just finished the Dark Tower series.

Since last posting, I picked up everything written so far of occultic;nine. I've read two out of three books, and it's fun enough to knock a book out in a day or two. Nothing particularly thought provoking.

I got a new copy of Only Revolutions for Christmas last year and read maybe a third of it before putting it aside. I should really finish it but I'm thinking of giving it to someone else as a present this year. I think it might honestly be my favorite Danielewski book (which is a weird thing to say considering I've never finished it).

Another pickup was The Dying Earth collection by Jack Vance, the guy who inspired DnD style magic. I'm a sucker for fanciful environments, short stories, and ancient, forgotten magic, so it's been a pleasant read.

Next to last, a not too great Young Adult romance fantasy called Tiger's Curse I'm reading because it's someone else's favorite book series. It's a little trashy and poorly written but reading it gives me a warmth imagining the other person reading it when they were younger.

Last, Worm. A 1.6 million mega webnovel about superheroes and supervillains. Feel like I need to explain, but that the explaining would spoil too much of what makes it so fucking GOOD. I'm on the last leg of the story, I read it at night while I'm at work. https://parahumans.wordpress.com/
