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!

I'm not sure which books you've read, but Eliot Rosewater is briefly in Slaughterhouse-Five, and Kilgore Trout is one of the main characters in Breakfast of Champions (he shows up or gets mentioned in most of Vonnegut's novels)

I'm actually almost finished with Sirens of Titan right now! I read Slaughterhouse-Five in one sitting in college, and now Vonnegut my favorite author
