[–] 9to5@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (2 children) Nice! Same here, haha. Easy stuff is fun! Though some fiction I've read has been really good, like Piranesi! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 9to5@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Yeah I wanna read more demanding works down the line but atm Im just reading basic stuff like Brandon Sanderson books and 40k novels permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 child) and 40k novels NO, STOP! Go Back! You'll never get off this train, they are just gonna keep releasing Horus Heresy books until the heat death of the universe permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 9to5@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (1 child) I wont touch the Horus Heresy. (anytime at least) I just read chaos and xeno novels at the moment permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 9to5@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago I've only heard good things about those! permalink fedilink source parent [–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 child) I really loved Piranesi. I didn't really care about the actual plot, but I liked the protagonist trying to interpret his environment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago Yep! It was super charming in that way, with the protagonist always being innocent and cheerful in dark and scary circumstances. permalink fedilink source parent [–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (2 children) 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! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 9to5@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (2 children) Oh yeah I do wanna get into stuff like cosmic horror/ weird fiction and pulp stuff down the line as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago Happy to chat about it if you ever want some recommendations! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Edamamebean@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago If you like weird fiction China Miéville is a great author, especially since he's a commie there's a lot of good politics in his books. permalink fedilink source parent [–] miz@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (1 child) have you read Clark Ashton Smith http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/short-stories/210/the-testament-of-athammaus permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago Not all his works, but ill book Mark this for the week!
