This was a nice week for book reading. Don’t usually get this much time generally.
Finished The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. I didn’t like the writing style initially but got used to as I read along. It’s a small book, just a little more than 100 pages. An umm… interesting read.
Got my copy of The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England by Brandon Sanderson. Really liked the book. It was a fun, light book. There was much less action than I was expecting, after reading the announcement of the book, but that didn’t make book any less enjoyable. Finished the book in two days, which I rarely get to do now.
Grave Peril by Jim Butcher. Book 3 of Dresden Files. I have just started it, but it’s the same Dresden Files. Nothing to say about that.
What have you been reading?
I am currently reading The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. This was really rough at the start to get into it. I have a hard time with fantasy stories that throw a ton of made up names at me since I have such a hard time remembering “normal” names. But I got over the hump and have started to enjoy it.
Here’s the list of books, recent to oldest, I’ve read since Reddit went down. I decided that instead of purely replacing Reddit, I would use my time better. I haven’t read this much since before high school.
