A lot. I lost count, really. I'm a professional 'middle of the book' reader. It's a way of living.

Trudi Canavan - The Ambassador's Mission

Loved the first trilogy, only recently found out there's a second.

Just started “Yumi and The Nightmare Painter”

Book 4 of the Wheel of Time (about half way through). Series has been something I've started on and off for 20 years, but picked up the first book after my Dad died a couple of months back and finding it a lot easier to stick with it this time around.

I'm very close to finishing The Sound and the Fury. It has lived up to it's reputation of being opaque and difficult. Really more of a checklist book for me.

I am about midway through Neurotribes. It's interesting, but has been slow going.

I'm finally picking up steam on my second read of Infinite Jest. Even better than the first time around.

I am about midway through Anathem. Neal Stephenson is a gifted writer, but for some reason I really lost traction on this one after I got through the world building and into the actual narrative.

I am also nearly done with my second read of American Gods. I have it on audiobook this time. Really enjoying the ensemble cast. It's a good story and I enjoy Gaiman's narrative style.

Idk why but ever since my youth I've never been able to focus on just one book at a time.

Cradle by Will Wight, I think I'm at book 8 of 11/12 (I don't usually look so I don't gauge how long til the end).

It's been a fun western take on a progression fantasy and cultivation novel.

Catch-22. The classic itself

Perdito station by China Meiville(hope I spelled it right) I just started a week ago and have only been able to read a bit because of time constraints but so far I'm pretty intrigued.

Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka.

Call to Arms, by Lu Xun

It's a short story collection. I'm actually at the beginning, I've only read two stories so far. Kong Yiji is really good!!

"Uncle Tom's Cabin". So far very powerful writing. Just finished reading "Tuesday's with Morrie" which is fantastic.

I'm just started reading Wool by Hugh Howey. I finished the first season of Silo and didn't want to wait a year to get more of the story. The book has been great so far. It seems like the show followed the book pretty well with a few changes.

Just finished Ten Days that Shook the World. I really enjoyed it. It's one thing to read history from a large-scale top down perspective, another to see how a revolution was actually conducted on a minute by minute street by street basis. Looking for the next thing to read now

Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle and The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić. I always go over two books at the same time where one has heavier material (philosophy/history) and the other lighter that I can read when I'm tired.

The Wheel of Time

Everything is f*cked.

"The Dawn of Everything"

It's a thick one but it's worth it because it gives you a whole different view on history

The Alchemy of Finance by George Soros.

Seeing Like A State by James C Scott.

Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy. Book is outright brutal but written in such a compelling way you can't help be want more. Fantastic writer.

Consider Phlebas

The Wastelands - Stephen King. It's kinda nearing the middle of the Dark Tower series and it's pretty damn good.

Minima Moralia by Theodor Adorno and Postmodernism by Frederick Jameson. Just finished Lacan’s lectures on the 4 fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis and understood about 10%. I’m playing catch-up with the serious people from the last century.

Convenience Store Woman - Sayaka Murata. I'm on page 30 of 160.

Also procrastinating on these:

• Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus - Mary Wollstonecraft (Godwin) Shelley
• A Manual for Creating Atheists - Peter Boghossian

A couple, The Institute by Stephen King and Cosmos by Carl Sagan

The Joy of Abstraction by Eugenia Cheng

Category theory is awesome!

Theory of Moral Sentiments, Adam Smith (project gutenberg)

It's slow going because of the archaic style, but will be a revelation to anyone who thinks Smith doesn't care about humanity.

Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson. It’s the third of his Kickstarter books and I’m enjoying it so far, but I’ve barely started it.

Escape from Billings Mall, by Chuck Tingle. It's a choose your own adventure book!

Endymion by Dan Simmons. Part of the Hyperion Cantos.

Almost done with Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World. It's enjoyable but nothing to write home about haha

The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick.

It's fantasy, but feels pretty fresh to me with the focus being on the main characters trying to con a rich family and less of the more usual (but no less fun) adventuring, combat etc. (at least so far, I'm still very early in the book).
