Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann
I usually don't stay engaged with non-fiction, but this book I couldn't put down.
I am reading the first book of the series Empire of the Moghul right now.
Classified as historical fiction, it is very interesting to see how the kingdoms evolved and spread in Central Asia.
Zodiac by Neal Stephenson. I like the narrator's "voice".
Segans " The Demon Haunted World"
The enterprise of death, it's a fun read
"Necropolis" (Gaunt's Ghosts 3) by Dan Abnett. Whole lot of Warhammer 40k goodness.
Trunk Music by Michael Connelly
I've started a couple other books but i don't know if or when I'll finish them as I enjoy reading Connelly more.
The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
The Book That Wouldnβt Burn by Mark Lawrence
The Fight Club, I can't get myself to finish it, knowing how it ends because of the movie does not help either.
Ministry for the Future. So good, so painful.
Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It plays in a alternative medivial fantasy world where the sunlight gets blocked after a loud rumbling. It tells the story of a you man who gets recruited in a organization of hunters that kill the supernatural while the world gets conquered by the vampires, that can't be hurt by the sun anymore.
One of the best dark fantasy books, I have read in a long time.
I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti
Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Actually I'm at 52%. The reason I stopped because of exams
Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik.
Star By Star. Reading through the old EU New Jedi Order books again. The old EU is the best part of Star Wars.
Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones
I think that is the official title. It's set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn't touched on the events of that series.
Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it's definitely got me.
I havenβt started it yet but my next book is The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.
Within the last month or two Iβve read Song of Achilles, The Women Could Fly, The Book Eaters, and Babel. Iβd recommend all of them, especially Babel.
I don't know if it counts as "in the middle", but I left off reading a book about heaven 8 had borrowed from my mom before I lost religion, and completely lost interest in it.
Don't think I'll ever go back, but that's the book I left unfinished. Haven't read anything in years. I was big on audiobooks for a while before I couldn't afford audible anymore.
Used to have a job that I could listen while I worked on my own and because of that I was able to go through a bunch of them.
One I get through my current medical condition (probably a few years off) and I go back to work, I hope I get another job like that.
Pride and Prejudice, it's fine so far
Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie
Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson. Recommend if you like historical fiction & the 20s.
Currently listening through Worm again. I read it the first time, now I'm listening and it's just as good as I remember it.
