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!

Finished the sequel to Becky Chamber’s A Psalm For The Wild-Built. Can’t recommend this series more highly for a glimpse into a calming and peaceful alternative future.

I was so gutted to hear there won't be a third book, the series is my favourite recent discovery.

What? I had no idea it wasn’t continuing. That’s so sad to hear.

How does it compare to A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet? I read that whole series, but the first book was my favorite out of all of them.

I've read that series as well. Both are amazing, but I prefer the Monk and Robot (Psalm of the Wild-Built) series a bit more. If you liked A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
