I've got THE book for you---80s retro/TV/video game/Japanese culture

I’m reading Hatcher’s Algebraic Topology textbook, Stein & Sha and the Bible. Depending on how one defines fiction, can’t say I’m reading much fiction at the moment.

Back in the day I used to read the Honor Harrington series and my favorite sci fi author of all time was Ben Bova. His books preety much predicted the future!

The last fiction book that i got was a book on Japanese myths. Very neat .

Yes.

In fact, I'm more of a reader than a video gamer. And the video games I tend to gravitate toward are those that more story heavy (like adventures and RPGs).

I currently have multiple books on the go, all of them re-reads: Dracula and American Psycho (which I tend to read as a pair as both deal with dark comedy elements and are written similarly). And I'm also reading Asimov's series as part of a group-read thing, although, this has been off and on for some time. I recently finished a re-read of the Witcher books. The next major thing I'm going to tackle is a re-read of the History of Middle Earth by JRR Tolkien (again, a re-read, but the last time I read this was around 99/00) - the History of Middle Earth contains a stitching of early drafts of Lord of the Rings, but is mainly about the earlier editions of the Silmarillion, and the development of Tolkien's universe across decades. I also plan on doing The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings (while I appreciate The Hobbit, in the past 15+ years, I have only read it aloud as someone else's bedtime story). The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion are books I've read relatively recently, but it's not odd for me to re-read them every 2-3 years.

Other books I plan on reading soon that I haven't read before, The Accumulation of Capital (Rosa Luxemburg) - which I tried reading earlier but gave up because it sounded stylistically and content-wise like Capital by Marx and I figured it might be better to move onto Keynes to get into a more updated approach to economics of that time period rather than a rehash of ideas. I've also cracked into Ringworld for the first time (a few weeks ago) but put it aside until I'm ready to read it. One I've been considering since around the middle of the summer is a fantasy series called Malazan Book of the Fallen, a fantasy series by author Steven Erikson.

I’ve been reading some odd lgbtq horror books I bought from a Pride book sale recently (The Z Word and Bored Gay Werewolf). Just started How To Make And Survive A Horror Movie.

I’ve also been listening to some audiobooks while driving by Grady Hendrix (The Final Girls Support Group and How to Sell a Haunted House).

I’ll probably switch from horror to some other genres once I finish with these but in case I don’t, I also bought John Dies at the End.

Yes. I would recommend Recurrsion by Blake Crouch. Phenomenal sci fi story.

I read a lot of Buddhist books right now but also like reading old speeches and books about rhetoric, philosophy of science, psychology etc etc. I'm more of a nonfiction reader that likes the humanities. Generally it seems like fiction teaches you about people, and nonfiction teaches you about the way things work.  But i'm sort of in the middle because i like a variety of subjects about different aspects of life.  

I’ve only ever read four books in my lifetime; The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Tolkien is the best, there will never be an equal to him in fantasy
