So, my copy of Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson finally arrived. Now I have some books piled up and should finish reading some first before I delve into this one instead of dumb fanfics and crazy manga.

I've already read it, it's amazing. I made a bet with my brother on what would happen my the end of the book, and I won. If you'd like to know about the bet details after you read Wind and Truth, you can PM me.

Rereading “The Leviathan” trilogy by Scott Westerfeld. If you’re looking for a steam punk world of both bio-engineering and machinery then I highly reccomend it. Split between the Darwinist and Clankers factions and set in a pre WWI fantasy world the setting was what got me into the steampunk aesthetic.

The books also come with proper sketches like a light novel and helps paint a better picture of what the world looks like and apparently… just learning this now as I type this its getting an anime adaptation. Hope they don’t cuck it up.

Spoiler: From the 2nd Book Behemoth a battle between Darwinist and Clankers

Give it a read before the anime comes out I guess! The adaptation might flop but the book trilogy is great.

Thanks for the offer, it might take some weeks or months for me to read it, I am so busy with other stuff (work, friends, skiing, hiking, gaming, other shit... )

But since a few plot threads were moving forward in the last book, I think, I can imagine what will happen, I just need to refresh my memory a bit by reading the first few chapters of the book.

I'm currently reading: " The Long Road Home: A Story of War and Family". I remember it buying it years ago and now I'm finally getting around to read it.

It's a real life military story set during the Iraq War. A U.S. convoy was ambushed by militiamen in Sadr City, Baghdad during a routine patrol. This leads to a desperate battle for survival as they hold out against the enemy forces until the rescue team arrives to extract them.

I'm 1/4 done with the book but so far, I'm liking it.

Currently reading Carmilla, by Sheridan le fanu. It's one of the first novel involving vampires, if not the first. Its way before the novel Dracula. I've discover this manga through a comment in this forum, under the main comments for the manga "i won't let mistress drink my blood" to be precise. The novel is supposed tyo contain some bits of lesbian subtext, which mean the lesbian vacmpire trope was the start of everything. I'll see this in a fewx chapters, 'im just at the sattr for now.

A series of plays by Anton Chekhov. Still reading the forward but will start with Ivanov. Been reading too much non-fiction psychology lately and need some distraction.

I read Chekhov's short stories in my language (not english), and it feels.... weird? maybe it's the translation, or maybe i just don't get russian culture, but the stories feels mundane to me, it's just civil servant or people with crooked person if i remember it right.

I currently reading Kafka on the Shore, it's my first Murakami (well, second after The Wild Sheep Chase i read years ago, but not remember a thing).

It's such a fascinating work, the sentences are easy to read, and sometimes just flow really well it doesn't feel as hard as other literature. But the theme and idea presented is quite depth and imaginative i enjoyed it so much.
