Currently re-reading (for the third time 
) ‘The Name of The Wind’ by Patrick Rothfuss
I really hope the third book actually comes because it’s been AGES

I’m sure some folk here have read this.
What did you think? I really loved it mostly. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else so I’ll be as oblique as possible… It quite disturbed me, a lot. Not sure why, but it was quite a strange book and had a spooky effect on me.

I read it and found it quite intriguing and beautifully written. Definitely a dark fairy tale, it felt like some old stories from way back. It wasn’t a feel good book for me and yet I was very touched by it…the harshness of life and nature. Yeah, it packs a punch.

Definitely enjoyed it and I do keep thinking of it… The nature aspect of it was spectacular and made me longing for some of it. Evocative for sure, just very affecting. Probably a success then. But like you say, not a feel good book. But not pessimistic either.

That’s an apt summation! The nature parts were so beautifully written; as well as the connection of people to the land and to eachother…and yet each of us, alone…idk, lots of feelings around it. It made me want to read her other book, which has similar themes. They remind me of the old time fairy tales we don’t hear as much here in the States anymore.

I’ve recently found a love of graphic novels and have read around 8. The latest is Discworld by Terry Pratchet but I just don’t get it!? Is it meant to be funny, I don’t understand the humour, it’s the first in the series but it’s like there’s already in-jokes I’m not aware of.

I’ve listened to these two books this week and really enjoyed both!
Both kind of witty and pose moral dilemmas. Recommended!

I just finished
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
And I’m going through
Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins for a 3rd or 4th time but taking notes this time around as a general daily practice.

How did you like The Alchemist? I have heard a lot of good things about it but haven’t gotten to it yet.
Currently reading The Green Mile by Stephen King and Penguin History of the World by J.M. Roberts & Odd Arne Westad. The latter is going to take me a long time to finish, as I am just slowly nibbling through it, but it is extremely interesting every time I pick it up.

It’s interesting, short book but a slow burn. I listened to it twice on Spotify and I’d say it’s one of those books where your experience of it depends on when you read it in life. I’m going through his books because my best friend is obsessed with all his books so I just want to keep up.

Just finished book one of The Hive trilogy by RR Haywood. This is about the sixth book I’ve read by this author, I just adore his cheeky style.
His writing is completely irreverent, with dark as night humour, horrible in it’s profanity and depiction of human failings. If you are easily offended, steer clear. It’s so cheeky and smart and I absolutely love his books. This one is about AI taking over the world and I can’t wait to start Phase II.
