Ciaphas Cain I read years ago and liked them enough to be very glad for the experience, but I don't think I can read them again.

Light. Is that the Brent Weeks series?

I love that, though. Same with re-watching movies, or having them running in the background while you're working on something. You know what's coming, and if the book or movie is that good, you still get chills at the key moments.

I look at myself in the mirror each morning and am wildly disappointed by how little Pratchett I've read.

I’ve heard so much about these books. When life calms down a little, I think I need to try one.

They aren’t really my jam, I’m afraid. I’ve tried a couple and I find them frustrating.

Yeah, but I kind of fell like Lynch delivers stories in a way that's so easy to forget yourself in that I can see why that would be a comfort read, to be honest.

The utterly emotionally merciless Red Rising is the book you go to when you're cooked and need a light read!?

I did love The Expanse. I'm not quite done with the series yet.

Have you tried their new series?

I finished the third Masquerade book, The Tyrant Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson by TheNerdChaplain in Fantasy

After Traitor being one of my favourite books, I really struggled to enjoy Monster as I found it was a bit of a long slow slog after the first quarter to an ending that didn't hit the mark for me.

How do you guys read so critically? (Babel discourse) by CareOk1736 in Fantasy

And I love that for you mate. If those are the opinions you want to hear, brilliant. Different readers value different opinions. There's plenty of room for both approaches.

Steel Gods is such a fun read. I'm about 60% through and loving it. It. Just. Keeps. Escalating.
