What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?
I have read Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders.
I can recommend it to anyone who are interested in the politics of US. Bernie talked about the main problems in the US. He talked about discrimination, the corruption, populism, wealth distribution and the negative effect of far capitalism overall.
The best bit of the book in my opinion, that you will understand why’s the society so against socialism’s ideas, even if it would significantly improve their life in many cases.
I’ve re-read the first Harry Potter. It’s been so long since I last read it. I felt that it really wasn’t poorly written. Sure it’s a children’s book but i looked reading it. And I’ve started reading flatland
Are there people out there that say it’s poorly written? That’s just not the case at all. It’s a very well-writte book, and that really does help when you dive back in to re-read it after a while.
Elantris, Warbreaker and started The Way of Kings, all by Brandon Sanderson. Read Mistborn Era 1 a couple years ago and loved it, finally decided to jump head in into the Cosmere.
I read when When Women were Dragons! It was excellent! I read a couple other books too but this one really stood out to me. It was a coming of age story that was a metaphor for basic feminist theory.
I read The City & The City by China Mieville and some bits of Psychogeography by Will Self.
I would recommend the first one, especially if you like detective stories (and games like Disco Elysium).
I’m not sure about the second, it’s a collection of columns and the throughline isn’t as good as I’d hoped.
Manna - Marshall Brain
Tasha’s cauldron of everything… DnD rulebook.
I finished:
- The Harlem Renaissance by Cary D. Wintz
- L’Âge des low-tech by Philippe Bihouix
- High Rise by J.G. Ballard
- Elle et son chat by Makoto Shinkai
- Judaism: A Very Short Introduction
- Berlin Stories by Robert Walser
-Always Coming Home - Ursula K. LeGuin - I absolutely loved this book. I’m still keep thinking about the Kesh people that this book explores. Very strange read, absolutely recommended. -The Fifth Season - N K Jemisin - Really enjoyed this book. The way it uses perspective was really great. The ending felt okay. I’m definitely going to be picking up the next one sometime soon.
Currently reading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer, which has been a fascinating read thus far, but I’m only halfway through.
After that I’m planning on reading Among Others by Jo Walton (I loved her Thessaly series)
The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch - I really enjoyed this storytelling and plot about multiple dimensions and timelines and murder. Thrilling and exciting.
I read Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery cos I liked the tv series and wanted to see where it went. By the third book I was bored af so I totally changed to The First Law by Abercrombie. So far it’s really good,
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
- The Boys from Biloxi
Michael Connelly:
- The black box
- The concrete blonde
- The last Coyote
I am open for recommendations
A few Animorphs and the Well of Ascension. I have a few active challenges on Storygraph.
I love Storygraph. Way better than Goodreads imo.
I read the Cradle series by Will Wight. Lots of fun! Interesting magic system, fun progression as the main characters get more and more powerful through the books.
I got sucked back into One Piece, the anime I sorta dropped, put on eternal hold
So I figured I’d start the manga and give it a go, it’s much more enjoyable ^^
