What books are you reading at the moment?
I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived.
I haven't seen the Apple show, but maybe I'll watch it in the future when I've finished all the books (I had Shift and Dust as well).

House of Leaves. Although I'm struggling because I haven't read a physical book in years and I can't bring it everywhere like I can my Leaf 2.
lol started this book like three time, I’ll finish it someday! Premise is amazing
I actually just got this delivered recently. Haven't had the chance to dive in yet, but its reputation really precedes it. Every video essayist I follow on Youtube has talked about this book at some point. Very much looking forward to it.
I love that book.
The reading of the book becomes part of the experience of the book in a way that feels unique and engaging. If you like the format being part of the story I have to recommend S by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams and to a lesser extent the Cheese Monkeys by Chip Kidd.
I share this struggle with this same book.
I'm more of an audiobook guy, like to listen to my books at work, but obviously that's simply not possible here.
Same here! I've had it sitting on the bookshelf for ages waiting for the perfect time to read a physical book. I'm so used to the little kindle.
Love that book! First read through was unsuccessful as I got stuck in an appendix reading a bunch of letters. On my 2nd attempt I avoided that dead end and really enjoyed it.
Man, I read that and all the crazy notes in all different directions. Quite a trip. I personally think it could have been a bit shorter and deliver the same effect, but it really is pretty neat and original. I hope they make it into a film or show someday - it deserves the treatment and the author deserves the $$.
Same! Been wanting to read it for 10+ years, finally bought a copy.
I’ve gotten about half way through it twice and given up… please share an update on your thoughts if/when you get through it! Maybe I’ll try again
