I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I have read and love the top 2 rows you've got there. I think I'm going to have to check out those last three.

I've been taking a short break from Malazan Book of the Fallen recently, by exploring some new, lighter books, especially while at work, but I think I'm going to get back into it in August.

I just finished The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei. It was a decent page-turner that kept me wanting to read the next chapter.

Still haven't decided what to read next. Are there any good newish cyberpunk books?

tower by bae myung-hoon, early days yet.

Last few I've read recently:

Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clark
Goliath by C. P. James which I liked, and I'm wondering if anyone else has read
Infinity Gate by M R Carey

I'm reading the Wool omnibus from the library before I start watching Silo.

I’m planning on reading The Expanse at some point, but currently I’m not reading any sci-fi, since I’m reading A Game of Thrones and Empire of Ivory.

I forgot the story of Time Out of Joint by Philip K. Dick so I decided to read it again.

Just finished the Silo trilogy before jumping into the TV series. was good, on both counts

About to pick up Children of Time. I listened to the audiobook a while back but didnt feel like i really absorbed it all that much.
