I need to pick Cracker! Back up, i started reading it in 8th grade by borrowing it from my English teacher, found it years later on amazon. I just have an issue with not wanting to read books anymore after havign the fun sucked out of them due to public school book tests.

The Fight Club, I can't get myself to finish it, knowing how it ends because of the movie does not help either.

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

I usually don't stay engaged with non-fiction, but this book I couldn't put down.

I am reading the first book of the series Empire of the Moghul right now.

Classified as historical fiction, it is very interesting to see how the kingdoms evolved and spread in Central Asia.

Segans " The Demon Haunted World"

Zodiac by Neal Stephenson. I like the narrator's "voice".

I've started a couple other books but i don't know if or when I'll finish them as I enjoy reading Connelly more.

I don't know if it counts as "in the middle", but I left off reading a book about heaven 8 had borrowed from my mom before I lost religion, and completely lost interest in it.

Don't think I'll ever go back, but that's the book I left unfinished. Haven't read anything in years. I was big on audiobooks for a while before I couldn't afford audible anymore.

Used to have a job that I could listen while I worked on my own and because of that I was able to go through a bunch of them.

One I get through my current medical condition (probably a few years off) and I go back to work, I hope I get another job like that.

Currently listening through Worm again. I read it the first time, now I'm listening and it's just as good as I remember it.

[–] mdhughes@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rereading Michael Moorcock's Elric of MelnibonΓ©, so I can read the new book, The Citadel of Forgotten Myths. Been a few moments since I did a full reread.

I have Greg Egan's Scale and John Shirley's Stormland next on the tsundoku.

I tried to like it, but I couldn't concentrate on it, I gave up in the middle of the 2nd book.
