First read book of the year! 📚 Out of The Silent Planet by C. S. Lewis Having only read Narnia before, it was interesting to read something Lewis wrote of a different genre & for an adult audience. Beautiful prose, unsurprisingly, and definitely plan to check out the other two books in the series.

been lagging a bit on reading and also doing multiple books at once, but Book #2 finished! The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien figured since I finally watched LotR and just read some Lewis, it’d be a good pick What I learned: 1. Gandalf fixes everything 2. Bombur is fat

Book #3! God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. This is the 3rd Vonnegut novel I’ve read recently, and it’s very charming as is his style. Multiple characters apparently make their way into some of his other novels, so looking forward to seeing them pop up!

Book #4 House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski been working on this off & on for 3+ months now Such an important origin of modern & internet horror, and the horror at the core of it is phenomenal. A feat of publishing, too. Gave me one major nightmare lol glad I read it, glad to be done with it

I should finally start reading it in earnest. I'm maybe 100 pages in and I really wanna experience it, but it's probably the most complicated to read book I've ever read lol
