2nd edition of CODE by Charles Petzold is a recommended read I've mostly been reading baby books to my newborn but you've probably already got those in your library, OP

I recall someone recommended me the forever war book because they loved it as a teenager and they had fond memories and then I read it and there’s a whole bit where the protagonist wakes up in the future and everyone is forced to be gay now and it’s not his style so he goes to sleep for a few more eras to get back to some hetero times

rotor posted:I mean like lots of people will tell you that Vonnegut is not a sci-fi author so yeah he’s gotten close a few times with player piano and cats cradle and a few others but you felt it was never about the fiction in a way that’s far more naked than le guin.

Other books I've read recently: Against The Grain: good, but a real downer Tao De Ching: fantastic, I read it like once of twice a year Stand Out of Our Light: good, but its more of a manifesto than a book really the first two books of the three body problem trilogy: the first half of the first book was great, the rest of it can kiss my rear end currently on deck: Cities and the Wealth Of Nations by Jane Jacobs. Idk poo poo about it but it was $4 at the used bookstore and a couple pages i leafed through looked interesting

I have this terrible disease that makes it difficult to read fiction. I’ll open a new book and like 60% of the time the writing will make me irl mad and I have to stop reading it forever.

I’ll open a new book and like 60% of the time the writing will make me irl mad and I have to stop reading it forever. lots of modern fiction is shockingly poorly written to the point that i don’t understand how people enjoy it but also you may just not like fiction and that’s fine too

Jonny 290 posted:anyways imma get back on finishing out the 3body books this weekend probably i'm also re-reading those, and i'm about 2/3 of the way through deaths end rotor posted:the first two books of the three body problem trilogy: the first half of the first book was great, the rest of it can kiss my rear end i think there's a lot of really great stuff in the series but on re-reading it now, the dialog is all kind off weird and off-putting and some things (like the doomsday battle) are just not well thought out. overall i still like it though. the whole dark forest idea is really terrifying and interesting to think about, but i'm sure someone will say it's been done before or something like that.

Anna Karenina. What a banger. Die Verwandlung. Reread after like a decadE Next on the list is Losurdo's Liberalism. I know you probably don't mean textbooks and encyclopaedia etc but I've been dipping in and out of Ashley's Book of Knots.

yeah i used to not read but i started reading before bed recently. gotta be a book that’s just boring enough i can fall asleep reading but not too boring i don’t want to read it. i read salem possessed which was pretty interesting. it’s about how the witch trials were more of an offshoot of factional power struggles, rather than about witchcraft itself. archaeology books have been pretty good too, they really hit the perfectly interesting and boring note for me.

i generally enjoyed the culture series by banks, but i've not reread them. malazan was utterly confusing and made me question my grasp of the english language, i still don't understand it to this day i am "currently reading" the deer and the cauldron by jin yong, in that i've not touched it in a few weeks
