There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

Currently listening to Dust by Hugh Howey (book 3 of the Wool/Silo books)

Ive also been slowly reading MaddAddam by Margeret Atwood (book 3 of the MaddAddam series)

How is the narration? I've noticed that even my favorite books are so boring if the narrator is bad.

Personally ive been enjoying it a lot. But i also listen to a lot of audio books. There arent a lot of times ive had to stop listening to books. I think a lot of modern audio narration has gotten really good

I just did a re-read (or relisten) of Dust because of the Apple adaptation!

Also I read the Maddaddam series last year and found it to be enjoyable and very well written.

Honestly having a rough time with the last MaddAddam book. Im too invested in what's currently happening to really want to go over Zebs past. Other than that tho ive really enjoyed the series

Wool (all of it) is awesome.
