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.

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 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.
Just finished reading Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, book four in the Red Rising series. Now I’m starting on the fifth book Dark Age. It’s overall been entertaining and has some interesting sci-fi concepts.
However my personal gripe has been that throughout the series you can most of the time guess far off what’s going to essentially happen. Some people may like that kind of thing but I personally like it better when I can’t predict everything. Overall I’d still recommend the series of you like dystopian sci-fi.
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
I’m 3/4ths of the way through The Name of the Wind.
Man has this book ever sucked me into it’s world. I’d recommend checking it out if your into fantasy.
I’ve got some bad news about book 3…
Let’s welcome a new member to the Kingkiller 3 waiting room… Haha
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).
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.
