I started reading a book by a fella named Guy Gavriel Kay because I've seen a lot of people on the internet praise his use of historical settings. I now know how women feel when a man recommends them an actually super deep anime and then its just some stoic male self insert and lots of boob grabbing. What I'm trying to say is that his books are anime for women.

Enjoy Hamlet! I plan to finally begin Soldier in the Mist by Gene Wolfe tonight, which I've been putting off. I've heard mixed things tbh.

Thanks! I also think I’m gonna start reading my Paraguayan War book I bought a year ago. Fiction with non fiction simultaneously can be handled, though it will probably take over a month with that big history book.

history books can definitely be a chore but are quite rewarding imo. are you saying yours is a mix of fiction/non-fiction or talking about Soldier in the Mist?

I meant the fiction/non-fiction mix. I’ve always read more non fiction books than novels, but this year I wanted to read more novels, specifically the classics of english lit.

Soldier in the Mist?

Just checked it on wikipedia, sounds like an interesting premise.

I finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Lord's of uncreation.

It was super predictable and not particularly good. I think I've read too much of his work as now it's all starting to feel the same.

I just got this book about Economic Sanctions. Should be interesting and hopefully decently dumbed down for us non economistcels:marseydunce:

My wife (male) likes watching mystery shows, so I’m going to pick up Last Bus to Woodstock. I’ve watched a bunch of detective TV, but I haven’t read many detective novels yet :marseyshrug: :marseynonpotable: :marseysipping: :marseydead: :marseydetective:

Just started Solaris. Only a few chapters in but it's great and already much better than the Tarkovsky film

Looking forward to this next week. Cradle #12 comes out, great progression fantasy series, maybe my #4 favorite. And Wandering Inn back from a month break next week too.
