I just picked up Butcher’s Crossing by John Williams. Eager to get right into it, as my prior experiences with Williams’ novels have been amazing. I tend to read thick, heavy fantasy and am looking to establish a new reading goal for the year. Taking a break from my normal fantasy reading has provided an opportunity to read smaller books, thus making my reading goal feasible.
Now, I do have a TBR of smaller books I intend on reading throughout the year, but I am curious what other people in the community are currently reading? Or what they plan on reading this year?

Currently going through the Conqueror series by Conn Iggulden. It’s a historical fiction about Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan.
After that, I’m planning on agoing through all the Saxon Stories books by Bernard Cornwell. First book is The Last Kingdom.
*The Plotters* by Kim Un-su: there are good books but also there are great books by amazing writers.
Burial Rites
The Crimson Petal and the White
And just started Appointment in Samarra
Finally started Shantaram…although I’ve been avoiding it for years (all the wrong people I know seemed to love it lol).
Hope it’s worth the 900 pages!… seems alright through the first 80 pages. A bit purple though.
Inherent Vice. I want to re-read East of Eden or One Hundred Years of Solitude next
The Art of Cycling: Philosophy, Meaning and a Life on Two Wheels by James Hibbard
The Bell Jar
