[Sometimes-weekly thread] What are you reading? 18th of September (discuss.online)

Copying from the weekly thread, over at [email protected] :

Finished Summer Knight by Jim Butcher. Fourth book of The Dresden Files. Things keep getting worse, stakes keep getting higher, Harry keep going through hell. Same old, same old.

Currently Reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King. It was recommended on reddit for books similar to the comic Y: The Last Man. I didn’t used to like Stephen King much before, but I can understand why. Book is 700 pages long, and first 100 or so pages were pretty much just a set up. I didn’t use to have patience for such slow books in my youth, though I am enjoying it now.

What about you guys? What have you been reading?

P.S: I have mentioned the [email protected] (and the weekly thread) a few times here. Didn't see any rules against that, and am just trying to increase engagement for books-related communities, but if there's any issue with that, I can stop doing it. (Disclaimer, I am a mod there)

Nearing the end of Oathbringer (Brandon Sanderson, Stormlight Archive #3).

There’s something about his world-building that’s just brilliant. Shame it takes me 6 months to read each one!

Nice. How are you liking it?

Quite good! Was one story where some people meet on a bridge that got me really smiling.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has me on a D&D kick so I’ve been making my way through The Cleric Quintet from R.A. Salvatore.

I have yet to read any of R. A. Salvatore's books. How are you liking them?

Salvatore's Drizzt series is what got me into reading like 20 years ago. I loved them then and now the CQ series is reminding me why. They are very easy reads with likable characters and I think his writing really shines when it comes to action/battle scenes.

Nice. I have got a huge backlog in last few months, but will check them out soon.
