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 just finished I, Robot. I actually didn't expect to find Asimov so compelling. In general, I've never been too into the classic sci-fi authors, instead preferring more modern lighter sci-fi. I'm now reading River of Gods by Candace Millard.

The Case for Space by Robert Zubrin. It's really good so far, it goes into such detail you can really tell the guy has spent his career and lifetime seriously thinking about how humans might live outside of Earth whether that be the Moon, Mars or the Asteroid Belt.

Currently reading/listening to the Dresden series, on White Night right now, listening while I travel for work and the books are great fun

Finished up my reread of Dune and onto Dune Messiah. I also have House of Leaves and Beckett Molloy trilogy in the wings to start at some point.

About 50% through Witch King by Martha Wells, and am so far highly enjoying whatever is going on with this worldbuilding.
