There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

I just started Klara and the Sun. Also listening to The Amazing Adventures of Kavilier and Clay (Soo good).

Book Club is reading Accelerando (3rd time for me). Just finished Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise.

Next up: the new Cormac McCarthy, Consider Phlebas.

Children of Memory by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It’s the third in a really awesome, incredibly well thought-out sci-fi series.

I'm reading The Pillars of the Earth right now. The book started out a bit slow, but I'm really liking it after getting through the first little bit.

Finished up my reread of Dune and onto Dune Messiah. I also have House of Leaves and Beckett Molloy trilogy in the wings to start at some point.

If you haven't read The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green, you gotta.

Well, I'm something of a doomer, and it made me feel more hopeful, somehow? Uplifted? Plus, he's an amazing writer with the power to make you give a shit about the smallest things. It was a lovely experience.
