Finally digging back into books, overjoyed at the string of quality experiences I’ve had.

Hello everybody! I was out of reading for a VERY long time in my life, and have come back. I just want to share the INSANE streak I've been on.

I used to read constantly up until I turned about 14, and then videogames ensnared me. I started reading again when I was about 20, when the first modern dune movie came out, diving into the dune books. I read the first three of those, and then made the critical mistake of trying to read Lord of the Rings during my last year of university. That took… the full year. Maybe more. I was very busy. I'd read the books in isolation before, never in one big go though.

After that though? Oh my god it's been crazy! Just this past summer I've been loving it!
– Project Hail Mary
– Sex drugs and Cocoa Puffs
– The Way of Kings
– A Scanner Darkly
– The Shining

I flew back to the netherlands recently from my US vacation, but I stopped at barnes and noble to pick up a pile of more books.
– The mistborn trilogy
– Artemis (Andy Weir)
– The next 4 books of the stormlight archive
– Carrie
– House of Leaves
– Fire and Blood

I'm reading Free by Lea Ypi at the moment (gotta get SOME nonfiction in), but I'm so excited to really dig into Brandon Sanderson, and to finish out dune. Same with Fire and Blood, I LOVED A Song of Ice and Fire back in the day.

I'm reading other books in between each stormlight archive book, as my fiancee is busier, and we want to keep mostly the same pace of going through the series. Might really dig into more Philip K. Dick and Stephen King, and tentatively want to dive into Aasimov. I also have a collection of H.G. Wells stories gathering dust too, so that'd be a good one to cruise through.

I'm just overjoyed to be getting back into sprawling fictional worlds and fantastical things that keep me up until 3:00am reading. One of these days I'll read the Silmarillion.
