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!

    nobody reads this junk here so i’ll just shout at a cloud

    a deadly education, naomi novik - this should finally unjam the block i’ve had on fiction; i don’t do well with fiction when the world is burning. i’ve picked this up and set it down many times, but the novelty is that normally, a fiction book that stops after the halfway point to do world-building is one that will end up propping open a door. but in this one the late add increased my interest.

    keep my heart in san francisco, amelia diane coombs - an adorable fluffy book set nearby that ended up on the to-be-finished pile during some political firestorm or other.

    guide du routard, catalogne - americans don’t want to see what i want to see and american guidebooks know it. i often drag in other people’s guidebooks when i think about going other people’s places.
