Alright started Cytonic by Branderson and it is good. If someone finished it no spoilers please.

A friend gave me the first book in the Murderbot series because she said the main character reminded her of me, so I'm looking forward to reading that.

I read Fahrenheit 451 yesterday (warning for language, particularly abuses of God’s name). The book is over half a century old and yet it doesn’t feel it because it feels like the near future.

Finished The Boy Who Lost Fairyland. Most of it was really lovely (if at times intensely bittersweet) for me, the wrap-up left me feeling kind of confused and wondering if it had been too long since I read other books in the series and I had forgotten something.

I read A Hobbit, a Wardrobe, and a Great War by Joseph Laconte over the last three days. I’d expected a sort of broad biography of Lewis and Tolkien with an emphasis on their war experience, but found that there was more to it than that. The ideologies both preceding and following the war were included, because that set the stage for the state of society that both men then had to wrestle with before they penned the tales for which they’re best known.

Recently also read George Orwell’s Animal Farm and another book I won’t name because of content issues.

Never expected to read anything "gothic" or "horror" before, but I've recently completed Jekyll & Hyde and Frankenstein. Neither are "horror" in the way the genre is nowadays, and both pose moral/philosophical questions about man and his nature. I've grown to like that sort of storytelling and can enjoy (as much as one can) bummer stories that have a point for it, but acknowledge it's not everybody's cup of tea.

...Some horror still poses philosophical questions, although even those pieces can be rather messy these days.

I still haven't read Jekyll, but I did enjoy Frankenstein. Both the philosophical angle, and the richness of the language.

Rich! That’s a good way to describe the writing! It was that as much as it was emotive.

I recently finished a Christian cozy mystery the by title of Brought to Book. There was much eye-rolling and sighing on my part as the character meanders through too many too-obvious thematic threads (with low payoff, might I add) to pad out the story's runtime. I only forced myself through because it had been a gift from a friend. Hopefully I learn from the mistakes made by the author and don't repeat them myself 'cause that's all I got out of it....
Currently partway into Robert Louis Stevenson's The Merry Men, which has nothing to do with Robin Hood, but has held my interest enough thus far.

I have finished some of my previously listed books and added:

A poetry book focused on imperial China with... good writing but a lot of looking at messy human behavior.

A middle-grade dystopian fiction, interesting and thoughtful although with the usual darkness expected of the genre.

A Supergirl comic.

A couple of years ago, I've read a series of books, Anne of Green Gables. I've actually watched the movie trilogy produced by Sullivan before reading the series. If I remember correctly, I think the second movie was a combination of Anne of Avonlea, Anne of the Island, and Anne of Windy Poplars. I've also watched the animated series on PBS when I was a kid. After reading the series, I've discovered that they were different than the movies.

I grew up watching and loving the Sullivan Anne of Green Gables and its sequel. Personally, I prefer them to the books (but that may change with personal maturation, I don’t know). Not a fan of the third one though.

I’ve ended up coming across a biography of Winston Churchill’s mom and have read through most of it. (I’ve skipped parts not relevant to the sort of information I’m looking for). Certainly didn’t expect to have learned as much as I have about her, mainly because I hadn’t realized there was so much there.
Also working through Robert Louis Stevenson’s New Arabian Nights in stages. Rather liking this collection of stories. Maybe I’ll have to revisit Treasure Island, now that I seem to enjoy his writing style.

I've enjoyed all three of the movies. Though I'll admit that the third one had little to nothing to do with the other two, kind of like Walden's Voyage of the Dawn Treader had little to nothing to do with the first two Narnia films. And much like Narnia, I hope to see an adaption of all the Anne of Green Gables books on screen eventually.

Read the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogie (which is his origin story among the Chiss.) It is intresting reading about a guy who is a bad guy (by the time of rebels or even the now legends original thrawn trilogie books) who is potrayed in a rather positive light. Prehapes because he isn't a bad guy yet.

Reading a book that I think only exists in a foreign language "Margarcane"
