what are you reading? 📚

what it says on the tin! i won't set a threshold on what counts as "real" reading, so how you interpret the question is up to you.

in fiction, i'm reading william gass's /middle c/, which i got from My Local Library, and which i'm really enjoying so far! and in non-fiction i'm reading a beat-up old copy of paul tillich's /religionsphilosophie/ i found at a thrift store two years ago, so that my weak-ass grad student german doesn't fall into total disuse. :3

An audiobook of heart of darkness! Obv some issues but I love how classics talk about the ocean

oooh if you like heart of darkness you HAVE to read season of migration to the north by tayib salih next. it's a play on conrad's story within a story narrative structure and flips it on its head. its one of my favorite books ever.

dante's inferno, blind

I'm currently reading 'A Wizard of Earthsea' by Ursula Leg Guin and 'Welcome To Your World' by Sarah Williams Goldhagen. I have also been slowly making my way through the Wheel of Time series, and I'm on 'Lord of Chaos' now though I haven't actually started reading it yet ^-^

Cecilia and the Angel by Jostein Gaarder. My progress is slow...

Fear, by Michael Grant. I love that series, too bad the fandom died in 2014

i'm currently reading 1984 by george orwell... it's kinda of a scary book since much of what it tells isn't quite fiction anymore

On audiobook listening to Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Honestly not my thing so far, but it's a book club pick so oh well

Currently I read religious and spiritual self-help book. Al-Quran the meaning and the translation. We need to connect with Allah (God).
