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!
Feeling guilty that I’m stuck halfway through two different books: Beloved by Toni Morrison and A Bend in the River by V.S. Naipul.
Neither have really hooked me with their characters (the last book to do that was Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin) but both have undeniably pretty prose. Borrowed both books from friends, so I feel the urge to finish them in a way I never did with similarly pretty books. Looking at you, Infinite Jest, my beloved doorstop.
