I've been getting back into reading again after a slight hiatus (I blame my Nintendo Switch, which I recently got). I've been pretty obsessed with reading about Greek myths lately. Been reading this book: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/3/AAaB-xAADRML.jpg It's very comprehensive. This book is fantastic as well. It's a retelling of the Iliad: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/4/AAaB-xAADRMM.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've been listening to the audio books of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series when I drive in to work (though I only have a 10-15 minute drive into work, so it goes pretty slowly). For actual reading, I've been going through a number of books about trans experiences (I just finished She's Not the Man I Married), though I think I'm going to start Douglas Adams' The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul tomorrow. ...

I love reading books and I'm ashamed I don't do it more often. The last book I read was a delightful book called "The Minotaur Takes A Cigarette Break." It is about The Minotraur of Greek mythology fame who is immortal and now 5,000 years later is working as a cook in North Carolina. It is told in such a fascinating way where no one fully acknowledges that this dude is a minotaur the way they should. It is more a series of vignettes about life. It is absolutely fantastic and I loved every minute of it. --- Poke! Can you dig it? ... Copied to Clipboard!

it's been a long time since I actually bought a book. the last book I read though was solaris, I was pretty disappointed with it and then learned afterwards that the translation I'd read was panned by basically everyone, incluing the author, and there was a much better more modern one I should have done my research :/ --- THIS IS WHAT I HATE A BOUT EVREY WEBSITE!!

Not really; ever since I discovered video games they've held my interest better overall. They're more engaging for me and help me feel less like a mere spectator. In addition, I think part of it is due to games' ability to convey a story+setting to me in a visual format as opposed to just a text-based one, which helps bring me into it better, if that makes any sense. My sense of imagination isn't particularly great (never has been, even as a kid), and it's pretty difficult for text alone to really let me picture a scene in my head. ... Copied to Clipboard!
