Just started the sirens of titan

Pretty entertaining so far, hard to let it rest - one of those books that makes you want to know what will happen next

I have a few books I'm trying to work on. Right now it's Screenplay by Syd Field, In Memoriam by Alice Winn, and Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo.
Last book I read was Blood Meridian, which I did enjoy a lot.

I'm currently reading Kazantzakis' The Last Temptation of Christ

Interesting retelling of the christ narrative from a much more humanistic and raw point of view. For instance in the novel Jesus attempted to hide his fate as the messiah seeing all the prophets around him being executed by romans, and there is also a focus on his relationship with Mary Magdalene.

I'm only about 1/10th of the way through so unsure at this point how the rest of the book will be, but it's pretty gripping so far.

What are you guys reading/have read this year?

Would you recommend the book?
I started reading Dune for the second time.

On a Kurt Vonnegut binge currently

Finished sirens on titan, mother night and cat's cradle

Already finished slaughterhouse V years before

Currently taking a break with Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - which does not hit the same spot but still interesting

the last physical book i read was "chiemsee jazz" a german crime story including some recipes, situated around the bavarian chiemsee
i read it in one day.
recently i have read the first chapter of "the eye of hong kong (original english title: the borrowed)" by Chan Ho-kei, but i am pretty lazy
but most of the time i let the books be read to me , i.e. audio books (in rotation: some terry pratchett, daniel suarez, andy weir, the dragonlance chronicles)

Solutions and Other Problems, by Allie Brosh.

Just as hilarious as the original, but with some emotional moments to it, as well. Whereas Hyperbole and a Half has more iconic, doubled-over laughing moments, the sequel seems to be a little more frenetic and unfocused. Still absolutely worth a read if you enjoyed the original, but it isn't on the same tier.

I am sure this is gonna sound off, but a friend of mine wanted me to read the divine comedy. Been reading that in tidbits. I could see how this book could really mess up someones thought process.

Recently i'm picking up different comic books, this time polish author - Morze po Kolana (Knee-deep sea) by Marcin Kołodziejczyk / Podolec. It was fine, well known atmosphere, half surreal but funny.
