What are you guys reading this week?

So, I started reading Moby Peepee, and I didn’t expect this book would be so funny. I’m currently on chapter 13, and up to this point Ishmael and Queequeg had so many “no homo” moments. Can’t wait for the Captain Ahab chapters.

I’ve also finished “It” by Stephen King. It was my first King book, and god, I didn’t expected for it to be 50% filler, so many pointless :marseylongpost2: and endless backstories of side characters that never show up again, plus the creepy child gangbang :marseypedo: near the end had some “50 shades of Grey” tier writing. A friend of mine recommended me “The Shining” but l’m not quite sure anymore.

What do you guys recommend?

I'm STILL reading Count of Monte Cristo, though I think it justifies its length unlike anything Stephen King writes (I also read The Stand :marseysleep: though I didn't complete it so I gratifyingly missed some :marseypedo: scenes I'm sure)

I would recommend it if you want a 1000+ page book, it starts very strong but after the halfway mark you start having to mentally keep track of too many basically identical characters.
