Yay. I used to read a fuckton of books as a teenager. Then like basically nothing in my twenties. These days I started to get back into reading crappy (but fun) fiction books.

    Nice! Same here, haha. Easy stuff is fun! Though some fiction I've read has been really good, like Piranesi!

    Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts is a good series too, as is both Eisenhorn and Ravenor (I never read the third part because it came out after I'd stopped keeping up with 40K, but I assume it's just as good).

    Oh yeah I wanna get to some of these classics later on. I just started reading stuff that I was really into like the Ork books from Mike Brooks. Im currently reading the Nightlord Omnibus since that had a lot of positive buzz and Chaos is like my 2nd fave thing after Orks.

    I do like the Imperial side of things especially Mechanicus and Sisters but I basically just got back into reading last year and I have been busy with other books as well.

    On a different note I did enjoy Bloodlines quite a bit its basically a 40k book on a hiveworld that follows a detective working a missing person case (JUST IN 40k) gives a ton of insight in the daily lives of hive worlders which is nice. Bloodlines takes a much closer look at the civilian life in 40k . Feels also super noir, was fun to listen to jazz while reading it. Theres a bunch of newer 40k books that follow a similar footpath. Its basically detective stories in the 40k universe.

    Ive been getting into anthologies of "weird fiction"/cosmic horror/Lovecraftian stuff the past few years.

    A local author brought us a copy of one of his anthology books for us on tour, and it wasn't the best but it was nice to be reading in the car like i did as a kid!
