Help me pick my next read.

Or dont.

IDGAF.

I gave up on Fortune Falls because book 1 was communalist survivalism & book 2 is " oh btw yall get Super Soldier Serum " out of literally nowhere.

So yeah, a paradigm shift of that magnitude is jumping the shark for me.

So with that in mind..what is next?

This, on the other hand. Not easy reading but...wow.

www.goodreads.comvoodoocactus's review of Taivaslaulu5/5: Look. I was hesitant and a bit leery because this is a book about faith and I have Opinions. This is a book from Finland’s Bible belt, telling the story of a religious group that’s not always looked upon kindly. But wow. I was surprised. Just. Wow. The language is beautiful as promised, mixing poetry, folk rhyming, song lyrics, and descriptive narration. It uses very little dialogue, opting instead to go with narration; They came to visit and said they’d pray for us, and then we said Alright and Would you like another cup of coffee, and didn’t know what else to do –kind of way. It’s a styl...

This was an uncomfortable experience.

www.goodreads.comvoodoocactus's review of Sang3/5: The first audiobook (and second audio-thing in general) I listened to sped-up because the narration was just a tad too slow. The narrator’s voice was pleasant enough but ye dogs it sounded like he was narrating a nature documentary or the phone book; bleak and lacking any emotion. And while it’s obvious he’d gotten coaching in how to pronounce Chinese terms and names buuuuuut… still. Perhaps I’ve just been spoiled by good audiodrama. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I enjoyed the worldbuilding, the dystopian–scifi–cyberpunk–fantasy vibe that reminded me a bit of Captive Prince and a lot of Iron Widow. All in al...

Howards End. By E.M. Forster.

You are a young, modestly rich ‘new money’ woman, at the turn of the prior century, orphaned with your younger siblings and modern (for the times) in ways that an old money English family can’t really comprehend; when your family becomes oddly entangled with them and a far less genteel family, cultures collide invisibly and with utter destruction (for some, guess who?).

#Reading Erdrich's latest tale from northern Dakota. It's an immersive read with interesting characters coping with loves and losses and day to day struggles. It is a commentary on the ties that bind including our histories, the land and even the denialism of its exploiters. Her short often one page chapters, punchy colourful prose, and deeply human perspective make it a lovely read. But everything Erdrich writes is a good read IMHO.
