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!

    Since November I’m slowly working through the The Witcher books. Just finished the 5th book recently and currently looking for a book I can read before I continue with the 6th book. Normally I read mostly in german but I’m thinking about picking a english book as my next book.

      I need to give those a re-read soon (but i have such a list already lol). For your next book in english, I’d like to suggest The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. It’s a fantasy novel (yes, King doesn’t just write horror, crazy i know) that draws from European fairy tales. I enjoyed it immensely, and according to my e-reader history, it was actually my very next book after The Witcher series!

        Thank you for the suggestion! I was actually thinking about picking something from Stephen King since I never really read any of his books but they seem interesting. The Eyes of the Dragon is definitely on top of my list now!
