Currently reading: Intermezzo by Sally Rooney. This book has piqued my interest since rumblings about it started last year. I’m two chapters in and not at all disappointed. #nowreading #bookstodon #storygraph #Intermezzo #SallyRooney
About 60% of the way through Lincoln in the Bardo, and the prose is really sitting well with me (which I didn't expect at first). #nowreading
Just finished reading this and the tears are pricking in my eyes. It's wonderfully written - and dates from before #Sleeper reformed so it doesn't know about the last two albums and subsequent tours. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - definitely recommended. #britpop #AmReading #NowReading #bookstodon
Now Reading: The Circle by Dave Eggers
"What begins as the captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy and the limits of human knowledge."

Currently reading: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I’m continuing my goal to read as many banned books as I can, and this was gifted to me by a friend a few years ago. #nowreading #bookstodon #bannedbooks #TheHateUGive #AngieThomas
"An unassuming young man was travelling, in midsummer, from his native city of Hamburg to Davos-Platz in the Canton of the Grisons, on a three weeks' visit."
-- Thomas Mann, *The Magic Mountain*
(welp, I guess I'm reading this now -- reading notes will go here)

Currently reading: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I read this book for school about 20 years ago, so it’s past time for a reread. #nowreading #bookstodon #bannedbooks #ThingsFallApart #ChinuaAchebe

Tykkäsin kahdesta edellisestä osasta, tämä sen sijaan ei oikein lähtenyt.

"What does it mean to be human? It means being able to cross the frontier between life that is deemed human and life that is not yet human, not human at all, or no longer human."
- First lines from Jan Miernowski, Laughing on the Brink of Humanity: An Exercise in Epihumanism (2024)

Started this a day or two ago to try and scratch a philosophy-ish itch. Already arguing with it, which is a good sign. Totally picked this up off the shelf bc I liked the title, the rough description, and some names I saw in the bibliography, lol.
Not sure how much I'll comment here but will make this my #ReadingNotes thread for the book.
I’d happily read Becky Chambers’ shopping list at this point. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
