Hellooo and happy Friday! What are you ? I'm mostly in textbook-land these days but I am listening to Daisy Jones & the Six, which is great as an audiobook. I'm weighing either starting Stradal's The Lager Queen of Minnesota or The Horse by Geraldine Brooks. https://geraldinebrooks.com/horse/ @bookstodon

Happy weekend, everyone! What are you ?? I'm reading a bunch of archiving, design, and metadata books for school, but also finally reading Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead, which is amazing of course, and listening to This Time Tomorrow, which is good fun so far and I haven't even gotten to the premise yet. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/594998/this-time-tomorrow-by-emma-straub/ I also picked up Immigrant Girl, Radical Woman from the library https://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501709845/immigrant-girl-radical-woman/

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bookstodon How's the narration? I thought of doing it as audio but the waitlist was long.

@kimlockhartga @flyblue @VernAFish @bookstodon 1000% agree

@Abibliophobia @bookstodon The second book of the trilogy was just released, Crook Manifesto, so I figured I should get going https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/608670/crook-manifesto-by-colson-whitehead/

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @bookstodon I wonder if that will change as the POV does. It’s definitely great on paper

@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@MonicaCMiller @bookstodon It's fabulous. I'm loving it. I may read it in hard copy at some point. Definitely love the narrator on the audio version.

@phoenixashes76 @bookstodon I haven’t read that in yearrrrs. I’ve been wondering about that one recently.

@Arlenecw @bookstodon Ooh, nice!

@CuriousMagpie @bookstodon Quite a combo 😂

@Flyspeck @bookstodon How is that? I have that on my shelves but have never attempted it.

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@phoenixashes76 @bookstodon I remember that too. Loving him the first book (and maybe even the second?) and then despising him.

@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@Abibliophobia @bookstodon I have the audiobook for Convenience Store Woman waiting in my library wish list. How is it??

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@Flyspeck @bookstodon Intriguing. I didn’t attempt the movie but maybe I’ll finally crack the book open.

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@ColesStreetPothole @bookstodon I started that and had to abandon it for some reason I no longer recall. I’ve been meaning to get back to it.

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@jd @Flyspeck @bookstodon Ooh, this looks compelling

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@dbsalk @bookstodon I’m loving The Time Has Come. Not quite as much as How Lucky but still loving it. There was a little, unexpected one paragraph call back to Daniel from How Lucky which delighted me.

@Enema_Cowboy @bookstodon I have never attempted Ulysses. Nor any Joyce. Though my mother is quite a fan and always encourages me to do so.

@dilmandila @bookstodon Inhave never heard of this somehow? This sounds really interesting

Happy Friday! What are you ? Mine will be focused on some very dry technical reading for one class, and several titles from this stack of for another. @bookstodon

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@abetterjulie @bookstodon That looks really interesting. How is the writing?

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@KateOfMind @bookstodon How is The Ship Breaker? I'm listening to A Very Typical Family. Which has a tad too much romance for my usual taste but is otherwise very good. https://sierragodfrey.com/books/a-very-typical-family/

@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@westerling @bookstodon Ooh, how is the narration in Lent?

@gregmillerwrites @bookstodon Meh, I would have finished The Dawn of Everything-which is fantastic-a while ago if I could be a more monogamous reader. A personal failing.

I’ve been wondering about The Matrix. How do you like it? The only Groff I’ve read was Florida.

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@movation @bookstodon Oh, yeah. This definitely looks really good. On my list now. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/600671/how-to-do-nothing-by-jenny-odell/

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@CuriousMagpie @bookstodon Oooh, Observer and the Chakraborty both look awesome. I’ve added them both to my list. How is the narration on the Miéville?

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@bOrgCastAMO @bookstodon @jolantruchng Awesome 🤩

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@lizziewriter @bookstodon 🥰 Inuyasha 🥰 That’s recently been added to my list. The Conger looks so interesting!

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@KateOfMind @bookstodon I just replaced my long gone copy of King Hereafter after our conversation about Dunnett the other day. I could not put I Have Some Questions for You down. It surprised me in moments when I thought it couldn’t. I should have expected as much from Makkai. I loved The Great Believers. I haven’t heard of Catling. I’ll have to check him out.

owlislost,
@owlislost@nerdculture.de avatar

@Abibliophobia @bookstodon I’ve had The Overstory on my shelf forever and have yet to read it. I hadn’t considered an audio version.

@dbsalk @bookstodon I really enjoyed some of Hawley’s earlier works. I keep seeing Anthem at the library but I haven’t scoped it out yet.

@BrunoMcGee @bookstodon I love that

@rowenamonde @bookstodon Just put that on my list! Looks fantastic!

@westerling @bookstodon It’s really, really good. I’m loving it as an audiobook but I absolutely want a copy I can read at some point.
