I've been reading a lot more lately, and dear god, for your own sake, please do. I've been so much happier and less anxious reading books vs random internet garbage. Highly recommend.
Clearly you're reading actual books, don't drop down the webnovel rabbit hole. All those damn stories are designed to scratch an itch you never knew you had until you're subbed to a dozen patreon's paying way more than if you'd waited for a book release.
That's good to hear. I've started reading Leonard and Hungry Paul and I like it so far. I've also started reading China Mieville's The City and the City, which is also good, but Mieville has this weird thing where the more plot his novels have the worse they are. He's great at describing a city as a living, breathing thing, though. That's why the best parts of Perdido Street Station were the first 100 pages or so before the actual story really got started. Hopefully this novel doesn't suffer from the same problems.
What about you, what have you been reading?
