This morning. I'm reading Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa. It's very long but so far very good. The last book I finished was Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut which I read last week (also very good). 562c44

This morning. Over the past month I have read over 20 books for entertainment purposes, which is pretty hard to find the time to do in college.
The most recent book I finished was A Darkness at Sethanon, the last book of The Riftwar Saga

2 days ago, I finished Halo: the ghost of onyx and before that the trilogy of halo.
Trying to the my hands in the lord of the rings series
Read them too, and they rock. I now have the 5th book, Cole Protocol, but I haven't gotten down to reading it yet.
Loved the Ender quartet too. One of my top recommends. I'm reading Catch-22 now, though.
The simplest comment I can make up is: Most books have logic, some books with more than some others, but Catch-22 is different. There ain't no logic AT ALL. Great prose.

I last read a book this morning while I ate my breakfast.
I only ever get 5-10 minutes at a time for my reading, so even though I read pretty fast, it still takes me forever to actually finish anything. I miss being able to finish a book in one sitting, but the responsibilities of being an adult seem to get in the way nowadays. Though, if picture and board books count, then I'm a master...it feels like my day is full of my shirt getting tugged and a youngster asking, "Read this to me?"
Recently finished: Pygmy, Sense and Sensibility. Currently reading: Pride and Prejudice. Next up: Battle Royale.

Reading a book? Hmm.... if ebooks count, I read part of one a few weeks ago. I always skip most of the book I'm attempting to read and read the parts I want. xD But as far sitting down with a printed book... it's been a LONG time since I did that. I can't even anymore. 0_o
My narcolepsy prevents me from doing anything meaningful whenever I sit down. 😮

Last night I read a nice trashy historical romance~~ 🤣
I was reading another one today but not sitting, so I'm not sure if that counts?
Currently reading - nothing, as I finished what I'd been reading - but trying to re-read & get rid of as many books as possible as I have TOO MUCH STUFF. (_)

This afternoon during my break at work.
Also on the train after work.
Right now I'm reading two books. Aristotles ethica nicomachea and Plato the republic. Good stuff.
Last book I finished, Schopenhauer on religion. More a translation of two essays though, with a short introduction to schopenhauer by the translator.
