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.

@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.
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
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'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).
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 a new father, so unfortunately I haven't had any time to read over the last few months. But as soon as I have the time and energy I'm planning on picking up Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Parents of young children read children's books to children, and this all well and good, but before this there is a special, magical time where parents of especially young children get to read whatever books they fancy to the child. Especially young children still love being read to, still get all the same benefits of learning phonemes and word splitting, and were never going to follow the story no matter how simple, so you just get to read whatever you wanted to read anyway & it doubles as child storytime.
Haha, Fellowship of the Ring, here we go!
