I really haven’t had time to really read many non-comic books over the past few years. I have a bad habit of getting obsessed with a book, unable to do anything but read it if I get into it. Even if I have important deadlines to get to. A book can suck me in for 10+ hours if it’s long enough, which I can’t afford most days. And so I’ve only read maybe ten or so books a year that weren’t for class over the past four years. Most of those were continuations of series I was already invested in or the “classsics” like Gene Wolfe or Dune. Good books to be sure, but not Important. That’s why most of these are books I read as a kid.
I did quickly want to mention a few great books and series I read recently though, even if they’re not Important. These include Gideon the Ninth, The Lies of Locke Lamora, Ring Shout, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, The Murderbot Diaries.
