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!

Though I'm not much of a reader anymore, my wife has been absolutely obsessed with Sarah J Maas' Throne of Glass series. I enjoy listening to her talk about it and sum up the stories, wouldn't be surprised if it ended up on Netflix soon.

Any recommendations for audiobooks to listen to at work? I'm big on science/science fiction and philosophy, anything that challenges my way of thinking really.

All hail SJM 😂 I love the theory (quickly becoming canon) that TOG, ACOTAR and CC are connected. I'm so excited for the future of the universe.

Recommend Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - changed my outlook on life. Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor e. Frankl had me ugly crying - and again, changed my outlook.
