What are you reading?

[Ratel]

Tell us what book(s) are you reading as we speak, for now i'm used to read several books at the same time, i'll give you a short list of books i'm reading for the moment:

-Neuromancer, by William Gibson. I have all his novels and i decided to re-read all his work, and finish what i haven't got the chance to do for now

-War with the Newts, by Karel Čapek, i already spoke a lot about him

-Tu Sais Qui (You Know Who), by Jakub Szamałek. I don't know if it's published in english, but it's the first volume of a deep-web thriller trilogy, he used to write for video games such as The Witcher etc.

-Black Skin, White Masks, by Frantz Fanon. I have some difficulty to read it, it's rather difficult but i loved what i read so far, it push me way more beyond left-wing ultras

-The Trouble with Being Born, by Emil Cioran. He's a nihilist philosopher, pretty easy to read, it's only short quotes piled up one after another, way more reachable that his other works.

-Le Censeur des Rêves (The Dreams Censor) by Yasutaka Tsutsui. I don't think it exists in english, it's a collection of short stories pretty funny. There's Bull's Eye from him available in english, i bought it several years ago, the same, that's a collection of short tories in english.

I too have "reading ADHD" I'd call it. I've got no problem bookmarking a book if I'm not in the mood for that type of book. I'll rotate between different types (fiction, non fiction, fantasy, realistic).

Curreently reading some books about zero point energy and psychokinesis, then a Steven king horror, a fantasy booked called night watch, and a couple more that i'm about half way through. Often times I just don't have the patience to read and I'll go months without reading, aside from Bluelight

Sadly I don't often get around to reading many books these days, but I’ve read most of Gibson’s novels - I adore cyberpunk literature

Hopefully this thread will encourage me to get my arse in gear and read more regularly!

Yeah, i stopped at his last trilogy that is still on going (with Peripherics which i had'nt finshied and Agency iirc). His styles had change in a pretty cool way, i like little chapters like ine his lasts, you don't get the feeling of engaging a whole part of the story when you start one, juste fragments

Night watch sounds familiar

Night watch sounds familiar

Apparently it's a movie too? This title has a space between night and watch, made in 2004, not to be confused with nightwatch with no space.

About how people who have the ability to manipulate their surroundings have a responsibility to use that skill for good, whether they are inherently "light" or "dark", as both have their valid roles. Some vampire type stuff too, I know people are in to that.

La Zone du Dehors (The Outer Zone) from Alain Damasio. Probably my favorite writter. This book is about a society on a moon of Saturn which is insane. The people got their name via some kinda social credit, it's a test that every citizen pass every year and they change of name. It goes to 1letter names, the elite, politician etc. to 5letters names which is the lowest of society. There's a giant cube where are stocked radioactive waste, and all the towers of the city, Cerclon (the only city and place where you can breath on this moon), are transparents and the government encourage the people to delation. The story is about Captp, a teacher who refused to be classed at a 4letters name, he's the leader of the Volte, a revolutionnary movement, and we follow the other leaders of the movement, and Alain Damasio have this ability to change style of writting depends on which character. I don't know if it's available in english but i advise it!
