I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

Currently reading Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent. It’s a tough read because it’s a lot of data and examples to prove his point. I’ll definitely move onto something lighter for my next book
@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.
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.
I’m 3/4ths of the way through The Name of the Wind.
Man has this book ever sucked me into it’s world. I’d recommend checking it out if your into fantasy.
I’ve got some bad news about book 3…
Let’s welcome a new member to the Kingkiller 3 waiting room… Haha
Reading Overlord LN currently. It’s amazing.
Ohh what volume are you at? I caught up at volume 4, I think, a few years ago and it was so much fun. I think I’ll pick it back up once I’m done with my current read.
I’m around middle of volume 11, 6 more to go, and for now the whole read was well worth it
I am currently starting my first Joe Abercrombie book, The Blade Itself. I have heard it compared to A Song of Fire and Ice, in terms of grim dark fantasy, but it did not grip me as quickly. I feel more that it is totally its own thing and that comparison hurts it a bit.
The first one is probably the weakest but the series as a whole is very solid. Very genre defying as well, it’s not really what you expect at first
