I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

It's probably the weakest of the Discworld books (at least from what I read of them). You can tell that he's still developing the world and it's much more just a fantasy spoof as opposed to the social satire masquerading as fantasy spoof that those books then more and more turn into.
