Book Lovers: What Are You Reading Now?
-
@sharonkhoo I have the lazy eye condition, so before audiobooks, I used to skim read a lot! This meant that I glossed over many details and I’m also prone to impatience to find out the ending haha.
So I actually love rereading, because I’ve missed so many things, and I’m often surprised by new information each time.
Btw to update: I just finished Ken Liu’s All that We See or Seem! I think his interpretation of how tech might evolve and impact humanity is very credible, given his education/professional experience. But I think I prefer writing that draws me in emotionally!
My next book: I’m going to finally try to finish Apeirogon, which is about the friendship between an Israeli and a Palestinian father. It’s actually really beautifully written and narrated (I have the audiobook), but somehow I never made time for it!

@rinsider Byrony Gordon! I recognise that name… think she’s a journo who is sympathetic to Prince Harry/the Sussexes. Haha I do like to read about the royals (I’ve read Spare) but I personally think they’re not good for much else other than gossip value. Or worse, they could be Prince Andrew!

@thebottomsupblog you mean Bryony favours Meghan? BAH!
-
@rinsider hahaha are you annoyed by the Sussexes too? Or does this annoyance extend to all royals?

For my kids, we’ve been reading the ‘Harry Potter’ series together at night — they’re 9 and 11 so the later books getting a bit heavy but the bonding time is really worth it. Also started them on Roald Dahl lor, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory — the stories are so imaginative and the language not too difficult. Great for building reading habit mah.

This might be more of an adult place, but I actually wish it had been around when my kids were younger:
Have been here several times, worth a visit!

I decided to reread Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy yesterday, along with the audiobook (borrowed from Libby). The narration is superb! And it’s still very funny.
Has anyone read this? On Goodreads, reviews are mixed. It’s a “love it or hate it” book!
