    I’ve re-read the first Harry Potter. It’s been so long since I last read it. I felt that it really wasn’t poorly written. Sure it’s a children’s book but i looked reading it. And I’ve started reading flatland

      Are there people out there that say it’s poorly written? That’s just not the case at all. It’s a very well-writte book, and that really does help when you dive back in to re-read it after a while.

    I have read Our Revolution by Bernie Sanders.

    I can recommend it to anyone who are interested in the politics of US. Bernie talked about the main problems in the US. He talked about discrimination, the corruption, populism, wealth distribution and the negative effect of far capitalism overall.

    The best bit of the book in my opinion, that you will understand why’s the society so against socialism’s ideas, even if it would significantly improve their life in many cases.

      That’s a good one. The prequel to it, The Flowers of Buffoonery, was just recently published. It’s short, but I recommend it.

    I read The City & The City by China Mieville and some bits of Psychogeography by Will Self.

    I would recommend the first one, especially if you like detective stories (and games like Disco Elysium).

    I’m not sure about the second, it’s a collection of columns and the throughline isn’t as good as I’d hoped.

    Technically I finished the last few pages of this yesterday but whatever - Spell Bound by F.T. Lukens was an adorable rivals-to-lovers story with some excellent magical worldbuilding. It also has so much in common with The Owl House I refuse to believe the author isn’t a fan.

    • Always Coming Home - Ursula K. LeGuin - I absolutely loved this book. I’m still keep thinking about the Kesh people that this book explores. Very strange read, absolutely recommended.

    • The Fifth Season - N K Jemisin - Really enjoyed this book. The way it uses perspective was really great. The ending felt okay. I’m definitely going to be picking up the next one sometime soon.

    Currently reading Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer, which has been a fascinating read thus far, but I’m only halfway through.

    After that I’m planning on reading Among Others by Jo Walton (I loved her Thessaly series)

    I got sucked back into One Piece, the anime I sorta dropped, put on eternal hold

    So I figured I’d start the manga and give it a go, it’s much more enjoyable ^^

    The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch - I really enjoyed this storytelling and plot about multiple dimensions and timelines and murder. Thrilling and exciting.
