Currently reading The Journey to the West, by Wu Cheng'en and translated by Anthony C. Yu. I'm at very beginning and it's pretty challenging but that might be because English is not my native language. I'm liking it though.
Hey, super proud of you for getting outside your comfort zone. Learning a new language is legitimately hard. I've been supposed to be learning Japanese for almost 2 years now.....but it just won't stick.
If you want/need an explanation of something, message me on lemmy or matrix, I'll do me best š
(Audiobooks) I've recently finished book 2 of the Mistborn series - The Well of Ascension. Otherwise i'm trying to get myself through book 2 of the Temeraire series - Throne of Jade. I'm torn, it may be that the narrator is killing it for me, or there's just not enough action for a dragon based story.
On my Kindle, I just finished re-reading Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut for the first time in probably 15 years. Helluva book, and reading it as a teenager certainly changed the heading of my moral compass. Still deciding what to read next.
I've also been re-reading my paper copy of This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It warms my gay little heart.
Yes, absolutely! Definitely a very rated author. Although I will admit I haven't read much of his. I do have Cat's Cradle on my wishlist, so maybe I'll pick that up.
I've not read How you lose the time war, but have had it recommended repeatedly.
It's fantastic, I love it so much. It's mostly written as an epistolary novella, and at times is very poetic, so it's definitely not for everyone, but I highly recommend it to anyone even kinda into that sorta thing.
But also, I finished Wheel of Time for the first time last year. What a journey! I pretty much binged it so I didn't really experience "the slog", and loved nearly every minute of it. Is this your first read through?

Re:WoT
I mostly only have time to read omw to/from work, so even though it was all I was reading, it only got maybe an hour or two a day of my attention. And broken up attention at that, what with changing buses and trains, walking between etc etc.
I did WoT mostly the same! I was reading on my breaks at work, and a bit at home, and I was doing about one book a month. Eventually my work allowed us to use headphones while we worked, so I switched to the audiobook versions and absolutely blazed through Path of Daggers, Winter's Heart, and Crossroads of Twilight, the shortest in about two days. After becoming alarmed at how quickly I went through those, I switched back to just reading, and did the rest like that. I find it's good to savour them, and have more time to process everything. Enjoy the rest of your WoT journey! It's a good one!
I'm going to need to get the last 5 books, I've been buying them in chunks of 5. I also don't really want to give amazon more money, so I'll have to look around for somewhere else to buy the ebooks....
I'm currently halfway through The Last Echo of the Lord of Bells by John Bierce, as well as procrastinating starting Waybound by Will Wight. Progression Fantasy is my thing right now.
I love the idea of progression fantasy I generally enjoy it in different mediums like web novels or Manhua, I've read a couple series I believe could be considered PF like The Demon Accords, Cycle of Arawn, etc... and thoroughly enjoyed them. Do you have any recommendations for some series to read through?
In my personal opinion? No, but I'm pretty particular about following the set story line in the case of tv/movie adaptations. I did my best to give it a fair go, but only made it about 3 episodes in before I got frustrated and stopped watching it.
Yeah, fuck the show, was garbage. My wife enjoyed it, and watched most of it if I recall correctly. But being a bit of a purist it just made me really angry....
I only read the 1st book so can't speak to the rest of them, but imo absolutely not. The TV show's finale was garbage. That said Episode 6, which deviated quite a lot from the book, I actually preferred to the part in the book that's supposed to correspond to it.
Red Sister by Mark Lawrence, my first time trying his books after holding back for a long time, and so far so good. I'm doing it for the bingo challenge from that other place which has really motivated me to get through a lot of stuff I've been holding off on for years.
Currently working on my Cradle series reread for the final book's release. I'm uhh only on book 7 right now so I sorta missed my target date lol. I love how much the series grows from book to book, once book 5 hits hoo boy it's off to the races. Can't wait to finally get caught up to the new book but another part of me is dreading finishing the series and having no more Cradle to look forward to lol
I both love and hate that feeling. Nice to have made it through and seen the characters the whole way through. Yet sad because there's nothing more to look forward to.
I'm rereading (listening) to A Song of Ice and Fire series, currently in the early part of Storm of Swords. I really fell down the theory rabbit hole in the last couple years and finally decided to reread them all after bouncing off a couple of unrelated nonfiction books I had been struggling through.
I couldn't get past the halfway mark of the second book. Just something about his writing style that just doesn't jive with me. Like the story and characters were interesting, but reading it felt like work.
Hmm, audiobooks solve this problem for me since I can kinda let it happen while driving or doing absent minded chores.
I can definitely understand that being a turnoff. There is an aspect to this reread where I am questioning a bit as to how much I actually like the books themselves, versus the idea of them I had in my head after reading so many fan theories and such.
That's fair, Audiobooks were absolutely killer for me in restarting reading as an adult. I'm a pretty slow print reader, and the frustrations of that combined with general lack of adult free time really stifled my reading till I started to use overdrive to get audiobooks from the library.
Just about to finish Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay. Great book, this is my second read through. Next up for me is a first time read of All the Seas in the World by the same author.
Currently, I'm reading A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
The chosen mode for the story flow has been a bit challenging for me, but not so much as to overcome my interest in the story. I've enjoyed it much and will see it through.
I'm currently reading "Les Enfants de Ji" from Pierre Grimbert. I like to read some French fantasy authors once in a while. Otherwise, I was taking a break from the Wheel of Time, the next book on my list being the seventh one.
The Wheel of Time will always be one of the most impactful books of my life. I really needed it when I was immersed within. I've been wanting to reread for some time, but I've been holding off until I really need again. š
I've read a few of the books several times and have done the whole series beginning to end twice. Definitely important books in my life. Hell, I have two of the chapter markers tattooed on me.
I'm reading book 3 of Malazan, Memories of Ice. I'm really enjoying the ride so far, even tho I'm progressing slowly because the writing style requires a LOT of focus since I'm not a native English speaker.
I'm close to finishing Assassin's Aporentice. Robin Hobb is great at writing characters and their interactions. It feels like Fitz has an organic community all around him.
Lately i had read "American Gods" by Gaiman, despite not really liking this author. Surprisingly it came off quite ok. First half of the book was tedious slog but when they stopped travelling around the american nowheres and meeting lumpenized mythological characters it started to be quite interesting. Though that book should be named "Unamerican Gods" for at least two reasons.
Even though Iām done with Reddit at the end of June, Iād still like to try and complete my r/Fantasy Bingo card. To that end I just finished Hounded by Herne for my Druid spot (been wanting to start the series), and Iām reading the Gurka and the Lord of Tuesday right now.
What is your opinion on the wheel of time?
Iām reading it currently, crown of swords I think. I really enjoy it, but at times I feel like there are some random plot twists haha
Most of the plot twists pan out, they're not just tossed in there!
Honestly, I read up to the 9th or 10th book when they were relatively newly released, never got around to finishing the series. I'm on my second read of the series and I'm around where I stopped last time, and I wish I had made it through the first time.
Hmm well then :D
I'll continue and hopefully finish in time. But it is really long haha
But I just love the worldbuilding there and how it plays with disinformation. You can understand why everyone does the things they do, but sometimes you're just like NOOOOO, don't do that, they're on your side xD
Was reading Release That Witch but dropped it pretty fast. Other than that, catching up on the latest volume of Ascendance of a Bookworm, patiently waiting for Re:Zero vol 22 and slowly making my way through the Spice & Wolf audiobooks
I just finished Waybound by Will Wight and enjoyed the series finale! I've also been working my way through the Malazan book of the Fallen, I'm on book 4 House of Chains
Just starting with Malazan, and finished up Gardens of the Moon a couple of days ago. Overall was pretty enjoyable, but it certainly shows that I'm out of practice with high fantasy worlds. Lots of unfamilar names that left me checking the cast list regularly.
Really looking forward to more info on the warrens that I'm hopeful will come in later books. While I get the impression the same cast won't be back for the whole series, I hope to see more of the Bridgeburners as well!
There's a couple books I've read where I've had to have two book marks, one for my place, and one for the index so I can figure out wtf is going on and who these people even are. I've enjoyed those books, but it's always an exercise in patience.
I have tried malazan so many times and just can't get through the first book. Idk what it is, I just can't seem to finish it. I've even tried the audio book, I think it's just a style thing
