There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

I've been working through Solenoid by Mircea Cartarescu for the past few months. It's a monster of a book, and some of the writing is really great (very Kafka-esque). There's unfortunately a bit of awkward sex writing, too, but it hasn't pulled from the good writing by any means.
