Getting back into my reading after spits and spurts over the last decade. Which I regret. Just ordered The Road, Dark Tower 1 &2 and The Wasp Factory. I’m sure you know who the authors are. Gonna start with Wasp.

Just found out yesterday that there is a new version of The Stand that is even bigger than the original which I read when I was a teenager. Will check that out when I’m up to speed with my reading.

Which is great. Typical of Buruma’s style of writing history, so wonderfully engaging.

“Sun Ra: Art on Saturn” is the first comprehensive collection of all Saturn printed covers, along with hundreds of the best hand-designed, one-of-a-kind sleeves and disc labels, decorated by Ra himself and members of his Arkestra. Essays by Sun Ra catalog preservationist Irwin Chusid, noted Ra scholar John Corbett, and Glenn Jones, who in the 1970s signed Ra to a distribution deal that put countless homemade covers into circulation, add unique insights into the interplanetary life and work of Sun Ra and his Saturn partner Alton Abraham.

Currently reading Against The Day by Thomas Pynchon, 400 pages in and fascinating so far.

Edit: wow just noticed the first post of the thread contains Against The Day as well, ha. Weird.

Curious to see the top 5 or so fav books from members on here if anyone feels up to sharing?

i just finished Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea and it was really good. i know at least a few of y'all around here had read Other Minds by Peter Godfrey-Smith a few years ago and this is incorporating a lot of the wonder and curiosity of that but amplified and fictionalized. this story has a lot to do with other stuff too, and the ending felt a little rushed/too buttoned up for me, but overall i really liked it.
