So What Are You Reading?

the song of achilles by madeline miller because clearly, i hate myself. my ex recommended it to me back in 2015? 2016? and i finally found time to read it, haha.

Dropped the book I was reading before and started the Quran. I like reading religious texts to better understand the religions of the world, though I'm not in any of them.

ouu if you want more John Green feeling books I would definitely look into Rainbow Rowell. Eleanor & Park is a nice read, Fangirl was also an easy fun read. Have you read/watched The Fault in Our Stars?

I have not read those ( or watched that movie)! Who are they by? I’d love to read them!

Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima and We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach

 

[AquaStrudel]

I just finished reading Frank Herbert's Dune! Now I'm continuing Goodnight PunPun by Inio Asano. I own the first three volumes and I read the first one almost a year ago now. Not sure why I stopped, it's really good.

Life of Pi.

Has been recommended to me like crazy and has been lying in my book case collecting dust for way too long. Pretty good so far.

I'm currently reading Gulliver's travels! When I'm done I'm going to watch the movie with a friend!

Eleanor & Park and Fangirl are both by Rainbow Rowell. All of her books are fantastic and emotional roller coasters. If you're enjoying Thirteen Reasons Why, and Fault in Our Stars is another John Green novel. I would recommend reading All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven.

Anyway, I'm currently reading Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan and Real Man Adventures by T. Cooper. If anyone has any recommendations for LGBT+ books, I would highly appreciate it, especially trans memoirs or autobiographies. I've already read Before I Had The Words by Skylar Kergil and Sawkill Girls.

Outside of news, I read a lot of comics and manga.

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

I just finished Starsight by Brandon Sanderson! I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait for the rest of the series! I’m currently reading the Mistborn trilogy by the same author (I’m on the second book!) and I’m really enjoying it as well!

 

[cannedcommunism]

right now I'm going between The Trial by Franz Kafka, The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis, and Le Fantôme de l'Opéra in its original French. I haven't gotten far in any of them because I have the motivation of a 10,000 year-old sloth.

 

[Dawnpiplup]

A Raisin In The Sun, the play written by Lorraine Hansberry. :3

[UglyMonsterFace]

I haven't read in so long Last time, I was in the middle of reading Watchmen.. I should get back to it.. But games have been sucking out all my free time for the last few months.

 

[rubyy]

killing stalking (manga)

 

[LuchaSloth]

I started reading 'The Snail on the Slope' around the time quarantine started. I say "started" because I haven't been reading it in about a week now. It's not that it isn't holding my interest...it's just that I'm using the Kindle app on my PC itself (my kindle is dead)...so, it's hard for me to find the desire to read a full book on a computer screen.

 

[HistoryH22]

Im on a bit of a Terry Pratchett binge right now. Currently going through "The Fifth Elephant" right now.
