What are you reading?

Fic? Book? Manga? Instruction manual?

I just started Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the first time! It's entertaining so far, but I'm only a couple chapters in.

'The Soundtrack of my Life' by Clive Davis (and...another writer). All about his life as a music exec first at Columbia Records and then creating Arista. Tons of artists, interesting stuff about being in the music business, etc.

It was also a documentary...somewhere. Probably on fmovies now. :D

The revision manual for HGV licences. Not a great plot, and the author seems obsessed with lorries.

I just started Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I'm on chapter two, so no spoilers!

I'm halfway through Christina Henry's 'Horseman' - and its been alright so far. I had wanted to read something fictional after reading so many biographies in a row and its been pretty easy for me to get into.

Also borrowed the first 5 volumes of the manga Nyankees by Atsushi Okada from the library. Its about personifications of alley cats as street gangsters and its honestly been stupid-fun to read, so I'm having a good time with this series too.

Just finished A Collapse of Horses by Brian Evenson. So in between books now.

And despite having many to read fics. I can't find one that strikes my fancy. I need a new Fandom.

The final book in Naomi Novik's Scholomance series. This idea has such potential, and Novik's writing has such potential, but I just don't jive with her writing at all. I feel like, at root, I just want totally different things from a story than Novik does. The things she seems to find narratively satisfying aren't satisfying to me, and I'd imagine the reverse is also true, since she so rarely goes in narrative directions I find genuinely satisfying.

Also, I'm 99% sure I guessed the "twist" (if you wanna call it that) from page 31 of book two, and I'm halfway through book three and the characters still haven't figured it out--including the class valedictorian whose entire personality is basically "if Hermione Granger was a Slytherin." So I really feel like she, at least, should've got there by now.

This has been my experience with their books as well. Which is weird because I definitely remember digging their fic.

I've been reading a bunch of old thrillers.

Most recently, I read "Hopscotch" by Brian Garfield. The premise is that there's this spy who was forced by his agency to retire, and he's now incredibly bored with his life and wants revenge. So he writes a manuscript revealing all of the top-secret knowledge he has about secrets and assassinations and conspiracies, and then he tells the CIA and the KGB that he's going to have it published unless they manage to find him and kill him first, because he wants the thrill.

So it's a great premise, and the book really delivers on it. The action is great, the characters are very good hard-bitten cynical spy types, and there's lots of fun espionage business where the spy agencies fling out their nets to try to find the main character while the main character tries to dodge them. Of course, it's of its time at moments, but on the whole, I really enjoyed it.

Marriage, A History: How Love Conquered Marriage by Stephanie Coontz. It slaps if you're into learning about how marriage and public views of women and courtship and sexuality changed over time.
