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!
I’m currently working my way through The Infinite and The Divine by Robert Rath. I think it could be enjoyable without knowledge of Warhammer 40k, but it is set in that universe. One of the better extended universe type stories I have read so far.
I also want to start in on some of the programming books sitting on my shelf, and maybe finally start on American Psycho, but so far I’ve been busier reading comics and stuff on Lemmy.
Interesting, I started playing Boltgun and that ignited an interest into 40k. Think I can read that with next to no knowledge of the lore?
Probably. It mostly involves factions that you don’t encounter in Boltgun, but I think it does enough explaining that you don’t need too much prior knowledge. As long as you’re fine using context clues to figure out what the weapons and other esoteric things are, you should be good.
