Example: I’m reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville to get back into reading classic books.

I’m reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It’s my first Sanderson and I’m a little over 300 pages in. It’s been on my TBR for a few months and finally decided to take it on.

Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting

I really should read that one. I’ve been a fan of Poe’s Haunted for a long time.

I am currently reading a collection of short stories titled Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie.

They’re all in the sci-fi genre, and they have been pretty interesting so far.

I adore Ann Leckie, her way of introducing characters and adding dimension through thought and action rather than physical description always excites me. I was hooked on Ancillary Justice as well as the sequels.

What’s Lake of Souls like?

Speaking of classics I have just now finished The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I think I need some time to process it! It felt like a commentary on the changing society of the time, and how a perfectly innocent and loving person couldn’t survive said society. More than anything the book seemed like a vessel for Dostoevsky to share various ideas and philosophies.
