looking to expand my horizons. My last 2 books: the power of introverts and the subtle art of not giving a f*ck.

The Illiad, unfortunately the translation i got is the worse it could be
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Truly magnificent, just like the movie by Tarkovsky.
In parallel to that I went also down the rabbit hole about what cybernetics was and what happened to it.
I just got into Brandon Sandersons books and they are amazing fantasy books. Mistborn: The Final Empire is the best starting place
The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer
I recently started The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
I’m reading The Light of all that falls by James Islington (3rd book in The Licanius trilogy)
Finished Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8. Reading Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens
Just hopped on the dcc train! Definitely recommend. It will never go down in history as a sublime piece of literature, but it sure is good. I would also recommend giving the audio book a try, the narration is hilarious.
I’ll do you one better. The narrator, Jeff Hayes, he founded Soundbooth Theater. DCC in an immersion tunnel, with full cast and sound effects.
Bhagvad Geeta
I just got through ask for Andrea and it was decent af.
Apathy And Other Small Victories.
Been absolutely crawling through Black Reconstruction, but it’s extremely well written and informative.
The Philosophy of Pinball by Godwin
ES6 by Dr. Axel
I’m reading Hatemonger, the book on Stephen Miller. And just re-started Pandora’s Star by Peter Hamilton.
Not exactly a new book, but All Quiet on the Western Front was a fantastic read. It’s a grotesquely frank depiction of the unfortunate "Have Not"s fighting a meaningless war for the "Have"s in society, set in the german trenches of WW1.
From the same author, Erich Maria Remarque, “A night in Lisbon” is also very good.
I’ve read this one as well. It’s not bad, but the three comrades, along with all quiet, are both masterpieces.
