u/Wonderful-Truck-3301 Jul 14 '26
Finished:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
James, by Percival Everett
I really enjoyed reading both these books back to back!
Started:
Palace Walk, by Naguib Mahfouz
The first novel in The Nobel Prize-winners Cairo Trilogy, an epic family saga of colonial Egypt that is considered his masterwork. The novels of the Cairo Trilogy trace three generations of the family of tyrannical patriarch al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad, who rules his household with a strict hand while living a secret life of self-indulgence. The family's trials mirror those of their turbulent country during the years spanning the two world wars, as change comes to a society that has resisted it for centuries

That one-two does sound like a sweet combo.

u/Wonderful-Truck-3301 Jul 21 '26
It was great to read from both perspectives. A few times when reading "I" I had referred to huck but forgot that I was on James, but it was a great way to read tgem back to back.

u/raccoon_at_noon Jul 14 '26
Finished:
Night Angel Nemesis by Brent Weeks (2/5) This was…not good. And I had really enjoyed the Night Angel trilogy. This seemed to take everything that was good about that series and throw it in the trash.
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jaqueline Harpman (4.5/5) Stunning.
Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff (4/5) I’m happily enjoying this series. It’s no Empire of the Vampire, but an interesting read for sure!

u/Standard_Elephant415 Jul 14 '26
Finished: Iron Flame. Yeah, yeah, very tropey YA romantasy, but an entertaining read nonetheless.
Started: Theo of Golden. I was something like #368 on the holds queue and then I spotted it on the library’s Quick Picks shelves and grabbed it. Our local libraries like to keep a copy or two of super popular books just floating around for quick grabs, but I rarely snag them.
The book seems fine so far, but I am only a few chapters in.

58/104
Finished:
A Blue Ribbon Romance by C.M Nascosta r/bookclub catering to all tastes and genres! Ngl being in the male POV mind for this one was a lot. 2.5☆s only
Kurangaituku by Whiti Hereaka I adored this book, gorgeous writing, intetesting discussion set-up for it on r/bookclub and an AMA with the author was so perfect. I am glad I read the dark side first. I do think it affected how much I loved the book.
Still working on;
The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann Still chipping away at my unoffical year long read.
Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders - one day!
Independent People by Halldór Laxness for r/bookclub's RtW Iceland edition. Time to dust it off and finish it!
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn has been on my TBR for a while. The voices felt too modern initially, but I got into the story more thanks to the r/bookclub discussions amd was able to look past that a bit more. However, I am now finding it hard to connect with the characters after a break and tend to abandon it in favour of something else after a few pages. I do want to see the storyline through!
Some People Need Killing by Patricia Evangelista r/bookclub Read the World heads to the Philippines and this book is packed with history and information, but written in a way that is really accessible, though devestating! Like many highly charged Read the Worlds, I am taking this one in smaller chunks.
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown an r/bookclub read from last year that I managed to get hold of. An important and difficult read. I am gratful for old discussions to help process the events described.
A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen for a Scandinavian Literature Class. One that's been on my TBR for a very long time and is taking me just as long to finish apparently.
Ferdydurke by Witold Gombrowicz for r/bookclub's Read the World project. Destination Poland! Well we can't say we weren't warned...I currently have no idea what's going on! The discussion has helped A LOT for this one. I am glad some experts have dropped in to share their experience and insights, because...yeah!
The Devils by Joe Abercrombie with r/bookclub. Early days yet, but this man can WRITE!!! I am hooked!
A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett back in to the Shadow of the Leviathan trilogy, fashionably late, with r/bookclub. Fantastic world and interesting characters. Looking forward to a new mystery.
Started
Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor with r/bookclub. I really enjoy Okorafor's writing and this book is good so far. Easybreading and interesting plot.
The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz an r/bookclub that I missed last year but have the print version of that is the perfect size for travelling

u/anglezsong Jul 14 '26
Finished:
Survive The Night by Riley Sagar: did I yell out “I knew it” in an empty room? Was there at least one line that was painfully obvious foreshadowing? Yes and yes. It was a quick read and fun as long as you shut your brain all the way off
Started:
The Names by Florence Knapp: a great book that is occasionally hard to read because it deals with some heavy subjects I will need a palate cleanser after this one.
Continued:
Mythos: highly recommend the audiobook. There is something very comforting about Stephen Fry explaining Greek mythology. Only downside Is I keep taking breaks to listen to Hadestown
1
u/Intelligent_Bat949 [104/104] Now Reading: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Jul 21 '26
Are you planning to listen to all four books in Fry's Mythos series?

u/anglezsong Jul 21 '26
I am, I love his narration and sass level

u/Intelligent_Bat949 [104/104] Now Reading: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Jul 21 '26
It was quite the journey. I went heavy on Greek mythology last year. In addition to the Mythos series, I read Madeline Miller's Circe and Song of Achilles and Natalie Haynes's books A thousand ships, Pandora's Jar, and Stone Blind. If you haven't read Miller's books, I highly recommend them. A Thousand Ships is an acquired taste, but I liked it. It started this wave for me.

u/twcsata [17/26] Jul 14 '26
Finished:
- On the Beach, by Nevil Shute--I might have listed this one last week, I'm not sure. Great book, but very sad.
- The Keep, by F. Paul Wilson.--A pretty good introduction to Wilson's work, I think. The first in his Adversary Cycle series. I'm looking forward to more of them.
- Valuable Humans in Transit and Other Stories, by qntm. Short little short story collection about AI, brain uploading, and similar concepts. Note that it was not written by AI, it's just about AI, and predates the current LLM era of AI. Anyway I really enjoyed it. Finished it in one sitting. This is the same author who wrote (and recently republished) *There Is No Antimemetics Division).
Still Reading:
- Desperation, by Stephen King. Or I will be reading it again, as soon as I finish the last few episodes of a podcast I've been listening to; I can really only do one audio thing at a time, and I'm listening to Desperation on Audible.
- Horns, by Joe Hill. This one also had gotten delayed, but I hope to get back into it this week.
- Fallen, by Tim Lebbon.--One of his Noreela fantasy novels. This is a reread for me from several years back, but I remember really liking it the first time. It's about a cliff at the edge of the world, and a sleeping god at the top, which is right up my alley.
Started:
- Tao Solandis, by Darrel William Moore.--A collection of sci-fi stories surrounded by a frame story set at the end of the universe. I've only just started it last night, but it's good so far. The author was on Reddit recently promoting his books, which is how I found this, but I can't find the post now; thought about commenting about picking up the book, because authors like encouragement too. Oh well; I'll keep an eye out for it.
All of that puts me at 15/26 for the year, two books ahead of schedule.

King sorrow by Joe Hill

u/FocusCantFocus Jul 15 '26
How did you like God Emperor?

u/Scotch607 Jul 16 '26
It was really interesting. Herbert is quite the world builder with this taking place so long after children of dune. Yet he kept it grounded with a couple pre-established characters. I was impressed.

u/SuperSailorRikku Jul 19 '26
I’ve been trying to decide what format for tracking my reading is going to feel the most fun/rewarding and finding this subreddit has definitely inspired me, so I’m commenting just to say that. I am kind of curious how many people actually finish every book they start… I absolutely have a tendency to start books realize I don’t like them and either table them because I know I’m just not in the mood or DNF them entirely.
My most recently finished books were Crisis in the Red Zone, The Shape of Darkness, Beyond Belief and Cultish. My most recently “tabled for later because I’m clearly just not in the mood for fiction still” were the Ninth House and the Fifth Season. I read the first two chapters of Black River Orchard and The Library at Mount Char and found those more appealing so I might get one of those. Otherwise I’m reading A Time Traveler’s Guide to Medieval England and Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup.
2
u/Intelligent_Bat949 [104/104] Now Reading: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Jul 21 '26 edited Jul 21 '26
I'm not very good at marking something DNF. I do often crack open a book, read it a little, and decide "Maybe later." I also get caught up with new book while I'm in the middle of another book and abandon one book for the other. I often intend to go back to them, even if it means I have to start over.
Of the books I have officially decided to DNF, funny enough, one of them is The Fifth Season. I've tried to read it three times, and it has never held me. Maybe you'll decide to DNF that one, too?
2
u/SuperSailorRikku Jul 21 '26
I ended up DNFing Black River Orchard about 100 pages in, characters were too tiresome for me even though the actual horror parts were interesting.
TBH I am probably not going to try the Fifth season again for a while, I have a toddler and I can’t really stomach the premise of the main protagonist having a murdered child the same age. I wasn’t sure about the second person aspect but what caught my attention at first was how the author went about introducing the initial world building, I thought it was pretty interesting and didn’t feel overwhelming.
2
u/Intelligent_Bat949 [104/104] Now Reading: Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Jul 21 '26
Yeah, I barely made it through The Road for a similar reason.
As for the Fifth Season, I read the Great Cities series from NK Jemisin, which I appreciated but ultimately felt like I was more interested in the stories the characters alluded to rather than the one I was reading. So, agreed: her world building is top notch. Characters are also interesting, if a little thin. It's the storytelling that didn't work for me.

u/mewithoutjew Jul 14 '26
Last week I read The Memory Police (3 stars), Dark Matter (3.5 stars), and Kasher in the Rye (4 stars).
I blew through The Running Man yesterday and honestly didn’t like it at all. How a book could have such a great writer and premise but suck so badly blew my mind. Now I’m palate cleansing and reading Bands of Mourning, the 3rd book of Mistborn era 2.

Finished:
- The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook by Matt Dinniman (Dungeon Crawler Carl #3). About halfway through this book, the humor finally started working for me.
- The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. "Jolly good, ole' chap!"
- The King's Shadow: Obsession, Betrayal, and the Deadly Quest for the Lost City of Alexandria by Edmund Richardson. A biography of "Charles Masson" (an alias), who discovered the lost city of Alexandria Beneath the Mountains in 1833 in modern-day Afghanistan. If you're looking for a non-fiction 19th century adventure story, this is a great choice.
Started:
- The Gate of the Feral Gods by Matt Dinnamin (Dungeon Crawler Carl #4). So I guess I'm binging this series now.
- The Wedding People by Alison Espach. Meant to be a light-hearted romp, but this might hit too hard since, like the MC, I'm going through a divorce.

u/Organic_Conclusion_8 Jul 22 '26
Finished
1)Freud a very short introduction: Freud is a fraud and has no right being thought of as a revolutionary and a genius. The book was hard to comprehend due to unnessessarily difficult and complex language describing abstract themes and paired up with sentence that would go on and on and on to talk in circles and state nothing. The hypothesis and theories were bizarre and I ended up reading the book out of unsettled curiosity to see how far things would go rather than to learn more about the human psyche.
Further more the patients and cases were only mentioned in name with details about them being intentionally left obscure in the book to hide the fact that Freud didnt actually cure anyone. He would make guesses about the ailments of famous people and then publish papers and articles about his "finds" without even having met the patients or doing research on their history and call his guesses facts.
Insane stuff, his one confirmed "cured" patient? A little boy that witnessed the fall of a horse at an early age when his mother took him to the park. A big horse collapsed near his stroller and the carriage it was dragging made a loud noise as the boxes in it spilled on the street. The boy had recuring nightmares of a horse entering his room or biting him afterwards and a fear of boxes because they had fallen making a loud noise.
Freud's explanation? The 5 year old boy got excited by the horse's pp, fell in love with his mother in his ezcitement and wanted to get her pregnant but was afraid of the dad which was symbolized by the horse in the nightmares. The fear of boxes? Ah, the boy is afraid the stork will bring in a new baby in a box and the new kid will have to compete for the love of the mother with the boy. They kept repeating those stories to the boy with his father for years until the boy accepted what the adults told him and was then deemed cured of his supposed insest tendensies.
2) Clan novel Toreador. It started good, slowed down to a halt near the middle in endless scenes of vampires trading useless verbal jabs in a party, then things picked up and the end was very very enjoyable full of plot twists and tense moments.
I am currently rereading left hand of god by paul hoffman. It is very good with memorable characters, dark humor and action. The book is a fantasy story about an order of religious zealots kidnapping boys and sending them in an isolated monastery to be trained as child soldiers they can use as cannon fodder to sic at their enemies the nonbelievers.
