ooooh!! Isn't that a side book to the Cinder series, or something like that? Love her books!

I’m in bed next to all the books I’m working on right now! (Half of them are re-reads though)

God I read Kafka on the Shore YEARS ago I think it was my first Haruki Murakami book. Not his best book to start on but still real good. I was just thinking about it the other day!

how to win friends and influence people?

ben 2020-05-08 06:10:59 UTC #25

It’s one of the best selling books of all time and I have a lot of trouble maintaining friendships irl and this book is supposed to super helpful.

I’d say 90% of my peers who have super solid professional and personal lives have read this book so I figured I should give it a proper read even if it feels embarrassing and weird.

Currently reading(and struggling to finish) Monstress issues #25 and #26. Some weird reason I havent been in a comic book reading mood lately.

ooooh! I'm actually learning it (kinda unsuccesfully) at school! Go you!

I posted a thread asking for romance novels from Tapas, and I'm working through those! I want all romance everything ALL THE TIME.

also sometimes high fantasy, cuz i'm fancy.

At first I thought you said you were reading Kafka the writer, and I thought yikes, during quarantine is a terrible time to read Kafka. It makes me feel crazy at the best of times.

I just finished Philip K. Dick's "Ubik" and next in line is "Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said".

hbldr 2020-05-09 02:53:36 UTC #32

how was ubik?
i hear its very strange

pencilinpain 2020-05-09 10:40:12 UTC #33

Very strange indeed. It takes a pretty surreal twist after the first arc and from there it gets weirder and weirder. But I really enjoyed it. It was fun and unique. I think I liked it more than I liked "Do Androids dream with electric sheep".

I am currently reading After Dark by H. Murakami.

Twoony 2020-05-10 07:40:57 UTC #35

Not sure if it's a side book since I never read the Cinder series. I understand what's going on so I'm going to assume it isn't? lol It plays with the ideas of heroes and villains. There's superheroes and stuff.

Mira_Astralis 2020-05-10 08:46:17 UTC #36

hmm, yea, I checked it out and it isn't... Mistake on my part! But i read the bio and it seems really good! might have to check it out.

Seaby 2020-05-10 14:55:57 UTC #37

Absolutely love anything by Brian Jaques. I have yet to read (and reread) a book as emotionally gripping as "Martin the Warrior".

I'm currently reading The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest by Stieg Larsson! I read the first two books before this and it's a very interesting and intense series. There are some parts that kind of drag a bit, but overall I really enjoy the series.
