There's a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly 'What are you reading' threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I'm finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams' Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

I just picked up a copy of house of leaves. Saw it referenced a few times in some other media I liked and figured I may as well check out the book itself.

One of my favourite books of all time. Do you have the full colour edition?

[–] Firefox@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! I splurged for the hardcover because I thought it would be a book I'd want to go back to a few times later on, and I'm really happy with how high quality it is.

I don't even know if "reading" is the right verb for engaging with that book. It's practically a different kind of activity.
