I finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, and started The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. It’s a thin book, and I am almost at the end.

The book is interesting, though I didn’t like the writing style much, but I guess it suits the story, the way it’s told.

What about you? What have you been reading?

Edit: So, I made this post 2 days ago, but turned out there was some issue between lemmy.world and discuss.online so my posts and comments weren’t showing up here. It seems the issue is resolved now. So, that’s why the date is 2 days old, and thread is posted late.

    Nice! I have been thinking about starting the Discworld series, once I am done with Dresden Files. I have read a few of the novels, but not near enough the full series. I have few of the starting one, so going to start in the written / published order.

    Have you read any other subseries of Discworld, which one is your currently your favourite?

      My favorite Discworld book is his last, The Shepherd’s Crown. After doing the whole library, I felt it ending well. Then you read the afterword by Rob Wilkins… you get all the feels.

      I’ve read all of them multiple times. I’ve never been able to pick out a favorite. All of them have amazing bits. I do think that either Guards or Rincewind would be good subseries to start with

        Yeah, I think Guards Guards is a pretty good choice to recommend, if someone has never read Discworld. As for Rincewind, the first couple of books are generally considered the weakest by most people. So not sure about that.

        I like reading in published order, so I am just going to go with that.
