Reading Ramblings Vol.1

This is sorta like my Captains Log updates but a bit more focused on books and what I’m reading right now. Might make it a recurring type of post or I’ll just drop it.

• I’ve been slowly finishing The Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe. It’s absolutely insane, and that’s about all I’ll say about it for now.

• Debating what I should read next. I have a pretty heavy backlog of books I’d like to start reading once I finish Book of the New Sun. A weird thing about my reading habits is that I don’t like reading multiple heavy storylines in parallel, so while going through a deep series I might read something else like poetry or a memoir on the side. Hence my novel/fiction backlog is heavy.

• Up on my list is finishing The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. I already started this one a while back and I think the return on finishing it will be worth it. Have heard nothing but good things.

• After that I might pivot into Lonesome Dove, which I’ve heard is a slow but excellent burn.

• Saw this video today which is giving me another confidence boost to pick up Ulysses. Might be a fools errand but I think the video makes some fair points.

If you’re struggling to pick what’s next I’d love to hear what’s on your mind!
