Books

Sayonara Gangsters by Takahashi Genichiro - it is a weirdness fest of post modern Japanese literature. I love every chaotic page.

I just finished Awaken Online: Armageddon by Travis Bagwell and I'm looking for something new. Armageddon was excellent, though now I gotta wait for the next one :(

My nonfiction/heavy book right now is Hitler’s Northern Utopia: Building the New Order in Occupied Norway by Despina Stratigakos. The evolution of fascism is terrifying.

Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett. I would recommend it to people who enjoy a fun story that isn't trying to be a masterpiece, just a good 340-ish pages of entertainment.

It takes place in an alternate history where faeries are real, and the main character is a "dryadologist" who studies them. It follows her field work in a small island off the coast of Norway trying to document an elusive species of Fae for the first time.

Just finished rereading Karen Rose's Romantic Suspense series for the hundredth (maybe not, more than 10.) time. Still have nothing new queued up so rereading CJ Archer's Glass and Steele for the first time.

Plato's Republic. Hated the Dialogues, and I'm still not a fan of the Socratic method (Yes, Socrates. That is quite so. I can think of no other way Socrates), but there's just so much to it, that I'm into it.

I just finished the Powder Mage series by Brian McClellen. Entertaining books with an interesting setting and the outline of an interesting magic system, pretty quick read. Everyone does seem implausibly treacherous, however. You can definitely tell McClellen worked with Brian Sanderson, very similar style.

I also finished The Fifth Season, by N. K. Jemisin, which I enjoyed.

I'm in the middle of yet another reread of Glen Cook's Black Company series, just finished the 2nd one. Decided to take a break from the series with something I don't normally read - mysteries. Reading Agatha Christie's first Poirot novel and having a great time.
