Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

I read Demon Copperhead earlier this year and it took some time to get through it. Overall I enjoyed it but it does go on and on a bit. Currently reading How High We Go in the Dark. It’s kind of depressing so it’s taking some time to get through as well.

How high we go on the dark is Soo good. But that roller coaster chapter gutted me.

I'm about 90% through Lonesome Dove, and the prose is just fantastic. I like how the character perspective follows the narrator's stream of consciousness. It really brings the book alive to see different perspectives on the same scene.

If you like westerns, it stands with Blood Meridian as the pinnacles of the genre for me.
