Just finished Children of time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Absolutely amazing uplift-scifi, but you better stay away from it if you have arachnophobia

Essex Dogs. It’s a historical fiction novel about a band of mercenaries aiding England’s invasion of France in the 1300s. It’s my palate cleanser after finished the third Stormlight Archives novel.

I’m finally reading The Expanse series, currently on book 2 and really loving it!

While I was waiting for book 2 to become available on Libby I read The Spare Man which I also enjoyed. It was a pretty goofy but fun light read (solving a murder on a cruise to Mars).

I’m reading The Anglo-Saxons by Marc Morris. It’s non-fiction. Morris’ books have a good narrative, but they are scholarly works. I haven’t gotten very far into The Anglo-Saxons yet, but one bit I greatly enjoyed was the author drawing parallels between Beowulf and Tolkien’s Rohirrim, all while discussing the archaeological evidence for feasting halls and the zeitgeist of the people who’d built those halls.

Currently Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman

Currently I’m finishing the fifth book of the Wheel Of Time by Robert Jordan. Next will be the sixth book of the Wheel Of Time by Robert Jordan :)

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai. Great read so far.

Notes from a Dead House by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Very interesting so far. I’m about a third of the way through it.

I usually keep a couple books going so I can switch between them. I’m currently reading The Escape Artist by Jonathan Freedland and Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea by Rita Chang-Eppig.

I just read Uprooted, by Naomi Novik, simply because it was available with no wait time on Libby. What a great find! I devoured it in two days. It has a really nice take on folkloric fantasy and magic, and a nice satisfying arc that explains enough, while leaving a good amount of mystery.

Currently reading/listening to the Dresden series, on White Night right now, listening while I travel for work and the books are great fun

Finally almost finished with Neuromancer.

Then I’ll be flipping to work mode and reading “The Grammar of Systems: From Order to Chaos & Back”.

• The guns of August - Barbara W. Tuchman : An engaging and narrative-driven recounting of WWI
• The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies - Clark Ashton Smith : A collection of Lovecraftian short stories and poetry. CAS is what you get when a poet writes Lovecraft stories
• German Philosophy 1760-1860 : The Legacy of Idealism : A book about Kant, Fichte, German Romanticism, Schilling, Hegel, Schopenhauer, etc

I’d highly recommend We are legion we are Bob and off to be the wizard to any fellow tech nerds

We are legion we are bob is about a guy whose brain is uploaded as an AI into a Von Neumann probe and sent into space to explore the universe.

Off to be the wizard is about a guy who finds out the world is some kind of simulation, and there’s essentially one big file detailing absolutely everything that can be edited, uses it to go back in time and live as a wizard and make spells with his programming skills

Both of them have plenty of nerdy references and humour

Kim Harrison’s Demons of Good and Evil that just came out yesterday :)

My partner is almost done with it already and is dying to talk about it but I’m taking my time xD
