I'm questioning that myself. Started with recommendations from others but the formula is getting stale. Thinking of going to epic fantasy next.
Last few books I read:
Dark Matter: Blake Crouch - pretty good sci-fi involving multiverse, AppleTV is basing a series on it next year
The Pearl: John Steinbeck - Short novel, really good but sad ending
Into Thin Air: Jon Krakaeur - currently reading this, it’s about a Mt. Everest climb that ended being disastrous. Really good and hard to put down, has me shook of ever attempting to mountain climb

Gotcha. Epic fantasy has the problem of bloat disguised as world building to pad the page count to Lord of the Rings proportions. The Wizard of Earthsea trilogy does a good job on keeping the epic feel with with a much shorter page count

Finished:
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Childhood's End

slightly terrifying to think about. I can tell this book will stick with me for some time

it had a huge release announcement and promo. I pulled it out to read a few months ago but never opened and put it back on the shelf. Welp, guess it's time.I just bought Fourth Wing - Rebecca Yarros
And our CFO is an author, so I bought his book

From the reviews I read it sounds like typical YA stuff but slightly aged up. Not really my bagI bought this the week it came out, and never read it.

Finished Rendezvous With Rama this morning. Much more grounded in reality than Childhood's End but still just as good. I saw that Denis Villeneuve is supposedly is attached to the movie adaptation.
I'll see if I can squeeze one more book before the year is over

I need to start reading multiple books at once. It would greatly help me dwindle down my TBR lol

I try to dabble in multiple genres/topic to keep things fresh.
I started A Taste Of Power in like April but lost focus halfway. Trust me, my backlog is clogged too.
Got Malcolm Gladwell’s collection collecting dust

Ok my problem is that I tend to stick with one genre at a time. Right now I'm really into science fiction and fantasyI try to dabble in multiple genres/topic to keep things fresh.

Nice! I’d like to enter that genre. Was recommended Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor. Was told it’s apart of a Afro-Futurism subgenre.
Would appreciate recs of any kind breh

I'm going through some old classics. Casual racism and sexism aside I'm liking most of what I read so far. Childhood's End so far is the one that stuck with me the most.Nice!
