current reads?
What are you reading right now?
I'm reading the Iliad at the moment
@zealousGrace5023 Eldest, from the Inheritance Cycle. I've been planning to read the Illiad. How is it?
@bluegreenparrot it's good but who it's translated by makes a world of difference
I'm reading “A Bollywood affair" by Sonali Dev
@PrincessMonet nicee
The politics of nonviolent action and I've finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep a yr ago
@Ilovethewarmsun those are some very intriguing titles
Thankss
@Ilovethewarmsun you're welcome:)
@zealousGrace5023
That is cool. I tried to get through The Iliad but I couldn't (at least not yet).
I am reading several books right now, one of which is called Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan.
@intellectual5402 i have a hard time with the version i have too
what's that one about?
@zealousGrace5023
Manhattan Beach is about a girl who grows up in the earlier part of the 20th century, I am pretty sure since they are always making reference to the war (I am pretty sure they are speaking of World War II).
Anyway, she becomes a diver (as in, scuba diver). It's a good book - this is the second time I have read it (well, it's an audiobook, so - listened to it).
@intellectual5402 Sounds interesting
thanks for sharing :)
I just finished P. Leino “Heaven” a dystopian novel. And now Im planning to continue reading next part of Game of Thrones.
Oops, sorry, somehow I replied to a wrong place 😅
@altheaFlower hahah its okay
@altheaFlower sound like good reads
lol my friend actually told me not to read game of thrones because of the constant killing
Aristotle and Dante dive into the waters of the world and the goldfinch
@affableTown8122 what's it about??
I'm hopping between several books some spiritual, some lighthearted fun romance, some job search related, some self-help :) So much fun reading. "All secrets in the world are contained in books"- Lemony Snicket
@koalabear122 books are absolutely wonderful
they both die at the end :)
@blondedzone lol i knew that before i began
@zealousGrace5023
Nice! I just started Dante’s Inferno. Im listening along with an online class. Iv always wanted to read the Divine Comedy and get something out of it, even if it’s just a little bit of understanding. Seeing as I am approaching “midway upon the journey of our life” it seemed like the right time.
@theFool10800 it's on my list as well
Ani.Mystic by Gordon White
@toughPal9698 whats it about
@zealousGrace5023
Broadly it is about animism and related topics although it mixes in the author's experience with travel and other things.
@toughPal9698 sounds really interesting
