Whazzup everybody? I like books (and edibles) so when I saw this community I wanted to contribute. I just finished Artemis by Andy Weir, a sci fi novel about a young delivery worker/smuggler who gets entangled in a plot to change the balances of power on the Moon's only city.

I picked up The Deepest South of All by Richard Grant at Ollie's for a few bucks the other day and have started that. It tells the tales of various people the author meets in Natchez, Mississippi and explores how it's slavery centric past still influences the area today.

What are you all reading? How big is your backlog? I started explicitly keeping a physical backlog when I buy new media because I'm 100% that guy who'll put it up and forget forever. haha

I've got House of Leaves coming any day now.

I was looking for some interesting horror, and this seemed to be a consistent recommendation.

No idea what it's actually about, other than a bunch of separate stories being intertwined, and a house that's bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.

Hopefully it's good 😅

House of Leaves is the first book in a very long time that seriously messed with my head. It's best to go into it blind, and experience the whole thing as brand new.

It is an exceptional book.

Sounds like I'm in for a treat then! I'm really looking forward to it.
