General What are you reading?

[Disciplined Galt]

I like Fantasy books. Right now I'm reading Steven Erikson: Forge of Darkness
He's an amazing writer but the proliferation of female soldiers in this one is annoying. At least most of them are dykes.

I'll get back to you on that

My goal is 12-15 books this year. So far I've finished:
Newest book book in both the Bobiverse series and the newest Dungeon Crawler Carl
Wind and Truth by Sanderson
The Great Gatsby. I've read it a few times but it was the 100 year anniversary
A collection of short stories that take place in Montana by authors from Montana
I'm almost finished with First Blood
I've started Infinite Jest but that'll take me awhile

I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed so last year I read most of the books. I think it was about 12 or 13 books.

This year I've been re-reading some stuff. An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth by Col. Chris Hadfield. Right now I'm about halfway done with The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson.

Assassin's Creed

I liked the Ezio games but couldn't get into them otherwise. I had no idea there was a book series too

Yeah there's a book for every game, plus a few more that not based on any of the games. But only a couple of them are basically the book version of the game. Some tell the story from a secondary character viewpoint. Some go into way more detail before and/or after the game takes place. I really enjoyed Heresy, which tells the story of Joan of Arc so its not based on any of the games.

I’ve heard of SoS but never read it. Read LOTR decades ago. But I’m old: I was around when they had their popular resurgence among college and hs students, along with pulp characters like Conan.

You momo's are missing out, seriously

 

[Disciplined Galt]

I once again recommend Malazan Book of the Fallen for anyone into fantasy and military themes. It kicks off with the chain of dogs.
