I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

I finished Barack Obama’s autobiography recently. It was on the heavier side, so it took me a while to get through it. But worth it and very insightful into his presidency.
Currently reading Chomsky’s Manufacturing Consent. It’s a tough read because it’s a lot of data and examples to prove his point. I’ll definitely move onto something lighter for my next book
@minorsecond Started Terry Goodkind’s Wizard’s First Rule few days ago and already loosing sleep over it. It has hooks deep in my flesh, last night was bad i just coudn’t stop until fell asleep… I have 4 next books of the series ready to go, i might be in trouble.
I’m reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King. It has been a fun read so far.
Does that book jump between points of view quickly, the way The Stand does?
No, it’s all from the point of view of one character (so far, anyway).
Reading Overlord LN currently. It’s amazing.
Ohh what volume are you at? I caught up at volume 4, I think, a few years ago and it was so much fun. I think I’ll pick it back up once I’m done with my current read.
I’m around middle of volume 11, 6 more to go, and for now the whole read was well worth it
Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages Ted Kaczynski, Industrial Society and its Future
I tend to read 2-3 books in parallel and randomly continue reading based on mood. I love Hall’s writing style and the amount of knowledge he put into the work and considering that he wasn’t even 30 when it was first published, it’s an incredible read for someone who recently had a spiritual awakening.
Rereading Ted’s Manifesto after reading of his death yesterday. Its impressive how he foresaw what technology would do to our society and how disruptive the industrial-capitalist-technocratic trifecta would be for humans.
I have books scattered throughout the house, and so what I’m reading changes depending on where I am.

If I’m going to sit outside, I’ll grab the book I keep on the table next to the back door. Currently that’s Stephen King’s Bag of Bones

If I’m going to read in bed, then I pick up Tuesdays with Morris by Mitch Albom
-
If I’m going to read in the bath, I’ll grab my Kindle and work through Alma Katsu’s The Deep
-
If I’m in my office chair, I’ll work on The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defence, by Suzette Haden Elgin
Kind of a funny way of going about things, but there it is, heh
I usually have several books going at once, but just based on that moment’s whim. This sounds like a more efficient and less cluttered way of going about it!
