I'm reading pic related right now. This is the second book in the Expanse series. It's good sci fi for just turning your brain off and enjoying a good, sometimes cheesy, story.

Also have some other non fiction history books I'm reading.

Just hit the halfway mark of American Psycho.

Its a good easy read that I can finish before going back2school

My brain is no good for it any more. Last book I read was Submission by Houlebeq, took ages, and was months ago. Last year I managed Electric Sheep and the two Hyperion books, what a mind.

Finished Dune two nights ago after a protracted read of months off week on cycle. Really good narrative and characters. I feel yucky knowing Herbert is basically a terrorist apologist, but that doesn't detract from the content of the novel.

Dangerous - Milo Yiannopoulos

A Confession by Leo Tolstoy
Its pretty good so far
He expresses feelings I would struggle to express mostly because of autism
and Its the first time I've heard someone express similar sentiments as me about life outside of some random anons from the internet

Shelby Foote's The Civil War: A Narrative and Mary Beard's SPQR. These are the main ones on top of my schoolwork. On the side I read all sorts of poetry and eclectic history, with a few novels.

Read Resurrection next. Top tier Tolstoy

Reading A History of Opera by Abbate and Parker, pretty dense at times but It's a good book

Damn good book.

>>39209259
Nietzsche ripoff

Guns Germs and Steel
Holy shit whites are evil

Over halfway through Nevil Shute's 'On The Beach' at the moment, enjoying it but it can be a little dull at points. Pretty bleak though.

Next book i'm reading will be 'Temple of the Golden Pavilion' by Yukio Mishima.

The tree of knowledbe by Baroja is the book i just read, 10/10
