| So, I thought it'd be fun to share what we're all currently | |
| reading, and whether we'd recommend it. | |
| I just finished 'Split the Party' by Drew Hayes. It's fantasy | |
| that plays with D&D tropes in a really clever way. Good humor | |
| and great characters, and an interesting plot. Would definitely | |
| recommend to anyone in to fantasy. | |

| I will have to check that out. I do love fantasy as a genre, | |
| although currently I'm reading 'zeus grants stupid wishes'. It's | |
| pretty funny to me, a somewhat irreverent take on several | |
| religions. | |

| Just finished up the third book of The Gentlemen Bastards series | |
| from Scott Lynch. A reread. | |
| Because I heard a rumor that the 4th book is coming out soon. | |

| I'm reading "How To Be You," by Jeffrey Marsh, which is | |
| wonderful. After that comes either J Michael Straczynski's | |
| "Together We Will Go," or Mary K Backstrom's "Holy Hot Mess." | |

| I'm moving my post from another thread, since it now appears to | |
| be better placed here! Thanks for starting this, Mr Bay! | |
| I"m a huge, HUGE fan of Kazuo Ishiguro. :) I just downloaded | |
| "Klara and the Sun". It looks amazing. | |
| NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER � Once in a great while, a book comes | |
| along that changes our view of the world. This magnificent novel | |
| from the Nobel laureate and author of Never Let Me Go is �an | |
| intriguing take on how artificial intelligence might play a role | |
| in our futures ... a poignant meditation on love and loneliness� | |
| (The Associated Press). | |
| I think I've loved everything the man has written, and so this | |
| is so eagerly anticipated. Anyone else read it yet? | |

| Currently reading At Home: A Short History of Private Life by | |
| Bill Bryson. It's great! A quick and easy read, definitely | |
| recommend if you like historical nonfiction. | |
| Although I have said "oh, EW" out loud a few times. Did you know | |
| that early latrine benches had multiple holes in them, for "ease | |
| of conversation"? | |

| I'm currently reading [i]The Sixteen Trees of the | |
| Somme[/I](fiction) by Lars Mytting. I am only a few chapters in, | |
| but loving the quality of the writing. | |
| I earlier read [i]The Bell in the Lake[/I] by the same author. | |
| Although it was fiction, there were lovely descriptions of | |
| Norwegian stave churches, and why most of them were pulled down. | |
