What are you reading right now? And is it any good?
Interested to see what everyone is currently reading and hopefully I will get some ideas for my next book. Possibly this triggers a genre/subject I wouldn’t have even thought of!
Just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures and loved it! Before that I read Circe which was a 5/5.
Just started Book 2 of The Poppy Wars series after taking a break after book 1. Only a few pages in so don’t have an opinion yet.

Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. It’s pretty good. It has its ups and downs, but so far I am enjoying it. The story is about a mercenary captain in a Renaissance Italy-like setting who is determined to exact vengeance and gathers a ragtag band to help her. The author is well-known for witty quips, though he does spend a bit too much time going on about how the female MC is fine-looking. Like we get it Joe…

Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. I love it because the characters are delightfully sarcastic.

I just finished the first full-length Murderbot novel, Network Effect. One cannot go wrong with Murderbot.
Now back to my regularly scheduled romance novels.

2666 by Roberto Bolaño. It’s fantastic, I love Bolaño’s writing he’s a master of bringing characters to life and interesting imagery.

American Psycho. It’s hilarious and fucked up at the same time.

Between Two Fires by – Chrisopher Buehlman. Medieval horror is such an underutilised combination of genre and setting tbh. Really wish there was more of it around.

Gone Girl. For some strange reason I’ve avoided Gillian Flynn stuff, and now I discover that it’s great!

Babel by R.F Kuang and I am loving it.
It’s very relatable as someone who left my home country at the same age and its exploration of colonialism.
I am shocked at her talent. I was shocked when I finished her Poppy Wars series because she was very young when she wrote it but Babel is brilliant so far.

The two things I’m reading are wildly different. Lol.
I’m currently reading the manga “Berserk” which is a dark, fantasy epic that is equal parts thrilling and disturbing. Definitely not for the feint of heart, but worth it if you can stomach the darker moments.
And the other is a biography on jam band Phish.
Both are great, but are very niche. Maybe try out a biography on a band/artist you like?

“Recursion” by Blake Crouch. It’s very good.
