Alaska Native Manitou Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Currently reading The Good Women of China by Xinran & Native Americans in Comic Books: A Critical Study by Michael Sheyahshe. The book that changed my life is Custer Died for your Sins by Vine Deloria, Jr. My favorite kind of books are those that discuss mythology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aro_elise Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 currently reading this side of paradise by f. scott fitzgerald--i think he was terrific. i read mostly classics and i can't really name a genre in particular, kind of just slice of life, you know. i don't know what to choose as my all-time favourites but the best thing i read recently was the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde by robert louis stevenson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alto Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I just finished a book called GROWLAND by a local small author :) SMALL GREAT THINGS by Jodi Picoult is also really good, especially the ending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gray Warlock Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In fiction: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien Dragonlance: Dragons of Winter Night by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman Fantasy, as you may have guessed. In non-fiction: Will soon be starting Shiva: Stories and Teachings from the Shiva Mahapurana by Mataji Devi Vanamali I don't really have one. I suppose Gods and Myths of Northern Europe by H.R. Ellis Davidson comes closest. My interest in reading ranges. It depends on what I'm into at the time. Generally I like mythology, esp. Norse and Hindu, Jungian psychology, Western Esotericism (academic and practicing) and Yoga, philosophy and practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvest-Unity Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) I'm reading The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin, pretty good so far, writing style sometimes a bit weird but I'm guessing that is a result of it being translated. Reccomend. [also it won a Hugo Award in 2015] I read sci fi and fantasy mostly.

alto Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 It's about a woman from LA who moves in with a marijuana grower, back when that sort of thing was more iffy than it is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 20 minutes ago, that halo nerd said: Its kinda dated but ready player one Is a very good read if your into retro stuff Yeah since most references in it were a part of my youth I liked it for nostalgic reasons 😅 I’m reading ‘Praktijkgerichte ontwikkelingspsychologie - Van wieg tot hangplek’ at the moment. It is a book about the psychological development of a child ‘from cradle to hangout’. Interesting but also a bit dry. I’m mainly interested in the bit about children aged 6/7, since I have been asked to teach this age group art classes and I have very little experience with them as I mainly teach older children. Just trying to get a feel for what I’m going to work with really. My all-time favourite books are the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. I also really like pretty much everything Brandon Sanderson writes, with ‘The emperor’s soul’ being my favourite. I’m getting his new Wax and Wayne book ‘The lost metal’ next week for Sinterklaas so that’s going to be my next read :) My favourite genres are fantasy and science fiction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFennecfox Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Currently reading When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey My favorite books are Suggested Reading (by Dave Connis, highly highly recommended), Not Your Backup, Dragonslayer, and The House of Hades (currently living for when The Sun and the Star comes out…) Mostly fiction. Fantasy and dystopian are probably my favorites. But I like reading a lot of different stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvest-Unity Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just finished Frankenstein (HIGHLY recommend) and now going on to read The Ask And The Answer (the second book in the Chaos Walking trilogy, also recommend though be warned it slightly leans into the 'stream of concsiousness' writing style which I understand not everyone will like, its also more directed to tweens although it can get quite violent and disturbing at times). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Im currently reading 'Roman Britain a new history' by Guy de la Bédoyère. Really interesting book, sort of gives a good overview of things i sort of half remember from school or vaguely learned about from tv or visiting places, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
