I’ve always got way too many books going at once. I’m listening to the audiobook of The Overstory by Richard Powers, one of my favorite authors who never disappoints, and, among others, I’m reading The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton—which is entertaining enough so far, but I’m reserving judgment—and Auē by Becky Manawatu, which is so emotionally devastating at times that I have to take it in small doses.

Currently reading Thinking Fast And Slow. Have been wanting to read something like it for a while now but my motivation just doesn't kick for me. I aimed to finish this book at some point this year

Not a Beehaw member, but still gotta answer it, lol.

Been enjoying post-modernist books right now, and just straight philosophy. It's all so intriguing.

Reading the classic White Noise by Don Delillo, in the middle of Discipline and Punish: The Birth of The Prison by Michel Foucault. Finished Shibumi by Trevanian a month or two ago, one of the most funny and badass reads I've been through. Looking forward to picking up some Byung Chul Han books after reading a PDF of his book The Burnout Society.

I am reading "Maskiner som tenker: Algoritmenes hemmeligheter og veien til kunstig intelligens" (Machines that think: The algorithms' secrets and the way to artificial intelligence) by Inga Strümke. I have learned many new terms, as well as artificial intelligence's history and fundamental concepts.

Currently listening to Red Rising by Pierce Brown on Storytel. Only 3h into it yet but enjoying it so far at least :)

Neuromancer. It's okay so far.

I just finished Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle. I LOVED it.

This in on my TBR list. I had mixed feelings when I heard about it, but it gets great reviews. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

The Count of Monte Cristo! Liking it so far and I've heard good things

[-] EntropicalVacation@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I just got a copy of the Count of Monte Cristo. I’ve enjoyed every Dumas novel I’ve read, but I’m surprised at how many I’ve missed.
