Does listening to an audio book count?

Just started House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski on a recommendation from a friend, I’m a couple of chapters in and so far it’s been pretty interesting

I'm reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. It's my first Sanderson and I'm a little over 300 pages in. It's been on my TBR for a few months and finally decided to take it on.

I am currently reading a collection of short stories titled Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie.

They’re all in the sci-fi genre, and they have been pretty interesting so far.

Speaking of classics I have just now finished The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I think I need some time to process it! It felt like a commentary on the changing society of the time, and how a perfectly innocent and loving person couldn't survive said society. More than anything the book seemed like a vessel for Dostoevsky to share various ideas and philosophies.

I'm reading Universal Harvester by John Darnielle. I think I like it, but how much probably depends on how the writer is able to bring it all together in the end. I do like the somewhat unconventional structure though, and the book is very atmospheric. It feels like it's more focused on painting pictures of a time and place than strictly telling a story, or something, I'm not good at describing it.

Currently in the middle of a few:

A Schilling For Candles - Josephine Tey
The Art Of Thinking - Ernest Dimnet
Titus Groan - Mervyn Peake
The Pillow Book - Sei Shonagon

I used to read a lot, but I lost my love of reading somewhere in high-school/college. Before then I always had a book going, often 2 or 3 at a time. My high school, however pushed reading really hard to the point that certain math classes even assigned books, which left me without enough time to read my own books and just kind of burned me out on reading and I've struggled to get back into it. I occasionally manage to get into it for a bit but inevitably fall off of it somewhere after a while.

I started making my way through the dune books a couple years ago. I made it up to God emperor, and stalled out. I was enjoying, but it's the kind of book I really need to really dedicate some time to reading through it. So that's been on the back burner for a while. Probably need to restart it when I get back to it. Chunking my way through it a couple pages at a time on my downtime at work like I tend to do isn't gonna cut it for this one.

I had just started reading The Road before the pandemic, and that just had the wrong vibes for me at that time. Was really enjoying it until I suddenly couldn't buy toilet paper, then it was all hitting a little too close to home. Haven't picked that back up yet, but definitely intend to.

I'm slowly working my way through an Esperanto translation of Treasure Island, I'm far from fluent, so that's slow going but I'm making progress. I've seen and loved just about every adaptation of the book, the 1950 movie was a pretty important cornerstone of my childhood and started a lifelong love of pirates, but somehow I never read the book, so I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone reading the book and working on my Esperanto.

I'm starting to get into Warhammer 40k, so while I save up a bit to start buying and painting minis I've started reading some of the books. Decided to start with the Horus Heresy series. I'm currently on the second book, I'm probably not going to read all 60 or so books in this series because I can already tell there's some definite quality differences between the different authors involved. This seems like it's gonna be a good fit for me though, there's a ton of 40k books so there's always going to be something for me to have lined up as my next book, but they're light enough reads that I'm not going to burn myself out on them.

I am reading Wheel of time. Currently on Book 4. Book 2 was a slog to get through but I am loving book 4 (book 5 counting the prequel).

I'm back into my childhood reading the latest book in the eragon universe, Murtagh. It's going well but I'm playing a bit too much video games to read. I have a nice edition with printed edges from my mom but I really want to get back to reading on my kindle.

I just started Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine, which I've been meaning to read for ages.

Before that I read The Queen's Thief series, by Megan Whalen Turner, which was fun.

I'm about halfway through the queen of the tearling

Just finished Embassytown by China Mieville. Haven't read anything for ages so took the opportunity to get back into it on a lazy holiday. Highly recommend this book, or any by China, if you enjoy dense sci-fi.

For a physical book, I'm reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez. I'm not too far in yet, but I'm enjoying it so far. I am having some issues keeping track of names, which usually isn't a problem for me, and I'm not sure why.

For my drive to work, I'm listening to "Words of Radiance" by Brandon Sanderson. I'm not sure if I'm really enjoying it or not, but I'm giving it a chance. For the first book, I thought it was just okay until about the last third of the book, so we'll see how this one turns out.

Recently finished All Fours by Miranda July read by the author and am now re-listening to Joyce’s Ulysses.

I'm currently reading the first Harry Potter, but this time in German.

For whom the bell tolls by Ernest Hemingway

All Systems Red by Martha Wells. I’d heard that they’re making a TV show for it, and has always heard the Murderbot series was good.

I just finished Where the Water Goes, by David Owen. He gets a little rambly at times, but overall it’s a great look at the history of water use and development in the western US as seen through the lens of the Colorado River. The author chronicles several road trips he takes to follow the entire length of the river and several tributaries, and he weaves in a great amount of history along the way.

I particularly enjoyed the part about Arizona’s governor sending out the National Guard to prevent construction workers from accessing the East bank while trying to start building Hoover Dam. He also appointed someone to be the admiral of the Arizona Navy so that she could harass them in boats.

Ultimately it’s a story about just how fucked we all are, but I really enjoyed it and the specificity of why.

I'm back on my old long book kick. Just started the Count of Monte Cristo

A bunch of empty calorie LitRPG desserts right now like He Who Fights With Monsters, The Primal Hunter, and Unbound, with my currently active book being the first book in the Infinite Realm series. I am eagerly awaiting Beware of Chicken 4, and I have the latest Bobiverse book queued up as the audiobook dropped this week.

Audiobooks really allowed me to get back into reading due to time constraints, so I almost always have a book going in one ear throughout the day. I cycle between "realer" literature and light fun reads, but have been on a nice trashy kick for a little while now. I am debating another attempt at Malazin Book of the Fallen because I have no idea where I got cut off in my last listen through, and possibly another thrip through of Dune due to the movies and the nearly 2 decades since my last read through.

Recursion by Blake Crouch

This

The Chamber by John Grisham

I'm currently reading "Very Good, Jeeves". I like to mix in light books before I decide to tackle something heavier

@VanHalbgott “Dr Sleep” by Stephen King. Last read his books decades ago and nice to be reminded how good a writer he is. Also reading “Swedish Essentials of Grammar” by Viberg, Ballardini & Stjärnlöf which is not quite as gripping.
