I feel like anymore i mostly read self help type books. I haven't read a fiction book in years. But even when i was a kid i loved the nonfiction section. I would just read every animal related book i could find at the library. I did read fiction too especially as a teen. But I've never been a huge reader. Sorry op I'm boring

Just got back into reading after a very long hiatus. I started with World War Z, then The Passage(not as good but still cool), now I am on The Stand, which I started 4 years ago, but I'ma finish it this time. Stephen King just writes better than a lot of writers.

I like fantasy, science fiction and nonfiction mostly. Right now I'm on the third book of the Revenger series by Alastair Reynolds, which is great, a fun little fantasy novel called The Blacktongue Thief, and a nonfiction title called Introduction to Matter. big dyke energy posted:i have read 62 books this year and mostly it was sci fi I've read these ones, pretty good

I'm always reading like 3 books at the same time too. Right now it's Return of the King and some self help type book that really sucks. Sometimes Buddhist stuff. After ROTK it's Das Boot. That book is uh... a bit thick.

Random books, mostly. I inherited a sizable library and I've tripped it. Sometimes I pick a book with an attractive cover, but that's led me astray far, far, too often. (Child bride Elsie and her "lazy niggahs", that's where pretty covers gets you.) Random is the way to go. When I'm ill, now, I read exclusively murder mysteries. Gives you something to puzzle out and take your mind off your own woes. Just read Carolyn Wells's 1920 murder mystery In the Onyx Lobby.

Sid Vicious posted:thinking about rereading the hobbit because its been a couple decades and its a great summer book Hobbit's always good. I haven't re-read any Tolkien since middle school. I should really do that. The songs/poems not getting proper representation in the movies is a tragedy (except for those disco rankin bass versions which are incredible) I like Russian classics and soviet sci-fi mostly but I read whatever. Right now I'm reading Ivanhoe, Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe, and Dying of Whiteness depending of if I am feeling something ponderous, a short horror story, or non-fiction. I feel like I've learned a lot about the Norman/Saxon animosity from Ivanhoe that I couldn't have possibly imagined was a thing but boy is there a lot of shade being thrown from the Normans about the Saxons and their old-fashioned long cloaks.

If you get a bad story at least it's over soon and most of the time with short fiction you get some of the weirder poo poo an author can't work into a full story so it feels like drinking the juice concentrate. And they're good for metro rides.

Non-fiction. Mostly about Communism. The Poisoner's Handbook is a real good time, too.

I'm unable to read books or anything for more than a minute or so at a time. I've read many books but I don't remember what any of them were about. By the time in halfway through a page my mind has wandered.

Been on a sci fi kick the past few years and thanks to covid lockdown have just been absolutely cruising through big, multi-volume series. Like: read through all of the dune books, the culture series, etc. Currently going through the diving universe books by Kristine Rusch.

I tend to alternate sci fi and classics, I just finished the Fleet of Worlds series by Larry Niven and I don't have my next book picked out yet, or even whether to go with something I've read before or something new to me.
