I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Currently on book 4 of the Horus Heresy. I read a lot of sci-fi and somehow missed out on the 40k universe so I'm trying to make up for it.

I'm actually going through this myself as well! Currently, I'm just starting book 2. Seeing the "before", noticing how mindsets were often the complete opposites, then watching the very beginnings of the shift towards the 40K universe everyone is familiar with—it's all fascinating.

I was planning to do the first 3 before taking a break to give some other things a shot. It's fantastic, but I don't think I'm ready to wholly dedicate myself to the 50+ books in the series just yet.
