Weekly “what are you reading” Thread #36 :marseyreading:

To discuss your weekly readings of books, textbooks and papers. !bookworms

I'm finnishing Never Let Me Go, I haven't read any thing for a couple of weeks even though the book club ended.

I also bought 2 editions of Charles Darwin's On The Origin of the Species :marseydarwin:

First I ordered the 6th edition and then the first edition which arrived today and is shown in the pic above. Yes I'm aware Darwin's book is outdated as he had no knowledge of genetics but I bought them as they're still interesting as history of science and to see how much of the original theory still stands, also the cover and illustrations are so pretty.

These pics are from the 6th edition I got, very collectible editions even if they're translations. !historychads

About halfway through my reread of A Storm of Swords, though I cant stand Jon so those chapters take a while. I'm also starting the Winds of Dune.

They might not be as good as the first book but all the rest of the main series is about on par with Brian's writings. I am fine with reading mediocre stories if I like the world, I have read over 150 Warhammer 40k novels and about 70-80 Dragonlance books and only like half of the 40k books were good and most of the Dragonlance ones were bad.
