Books - what are you reading? (Official Book Thread)

[Fresh]

I'm also reading Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati by Robert Anton Wilson

like I said, I can't read just one book at a time, I read two and three books at the same time

the book is great so far

Just finished The Between. I underestimated this one after reading the first initial 20 or so pages---even with having read The Reformatory already .

I was aware of the premise, of course, but it was still coming off like your standard contemporary drama with a light speculative touch.

Nah. She builds that routine of comfort presented by the family in the novel and uses it to turn everything upside down & have yo ass lookin' for the to get out

One the MC's perspective is fractured, and he becomes this unreliable narrator, the book is relentless from that point on.

It's not horror in the traditional sense but more of an existential dread. I wasn't expecting the ending to be that sad either even though I knew it was coming. Helluva debut

Been on my Le Guin shyt, tryna finish the Earthsea series + work on my own shyt. I recently finished or have ongoing:

The Farthest Shore
Tehanu
Steering The Craft

As far as Earthsea is concerned, The Farthest Shore and Tehanu were dope. Def not for everybody if you like your fantasy a little more grandiose & battle laden. These are coming of age + meditative stories touching on grief, life, death, identity and the nature of those things + more.
