#so many books
Text
do you ever feel nostalgic about a book? like yes I read it, yes I experienced it, yes I obssessed over it. but that is not enough. i want it to never end, this constant, overwhelming feeling of being consumed by a book. i want it i want it i want it.

Consumer societies are unequipped to make sense of death. As Weber pointed out, premodern humans could imagine themselves as part of an “organic life cycle” of which death was the natural end; this belief was sanctified by religion and ritual. Modern life, on the other hand, unfolds as a “never-ending process,” and the disenchantment of the world has eliminated the forms of religion that used to give us solace; we can only see death as a “meaningless event.”

my current reading list:
Book of Night - Holly Black
The Odyssey - Homer trans. Emily Wilson (for uni)
The Distaff Side - ed. Beth Cohen (for uni)
The Second Body - Daisy Hildyard
The Vampyre and Other Tales of the Macabre - multiple authors
The Second Sex - Simone de Beauvoir (for uni)
The Elder Edda - trans. Andy Orchard
War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy
I am currently trying to whittle this down to just university readings, which would be 3 books, rather than 8, which is far too many.

10 Books to Read in 2024
Thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom for the tag! At this point you must know that I go overboard with these posts. I appreciate the enabling. 😂
#1 & 2: Book Club/Buddy Reads
Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coats - This is one of the official Paul Strickland Approved Reads and it's been on my shelf for awhile now too. It's about time I sit down and read it!
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden - This book was chosen by one of my friends for our seasonal book club to be read for winter.
#3 & 4: Series to Complete/Continue
Light of Impossible Stars by Gareth L. Powell - This is the 3rd and final book in the Embers of War trilogy. I read the previous book back in 2020... so it's unclear if I will remember the plot enough for this. oops.
Saga Volume 9 by Fiona Staples & Brian K. Vaughan - I've had this volume on my shelf since 2018 when it was published but kept holding off on reading it because the authors had announced going on a break and I heard there was a cliffhanger. They've since come back and started releasing more volumes, so I gotta catch up!
#5 & 6: Series to Start
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin - Series are a big focus of my personal reading goals in 2024. I own the entire Broken Earth trilogy in physical copies, and they've been staring at me for awhile now and guilting me for buying a whole series without knowing if I like the first book.
Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee - I was smart enough with this one to at least purchase just the first book and not the entire Machineries of Empire series. However, I have owned this since 2018. Why haven't I read it yet???
#7 & 8: Indigenous Fiction
Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko - I was in an online Indigenous Reading Book Club for a little bit and this was one of the books we were supposed to read for that. and I never did. Must fix my prior mistakes!
There There by Tommy Orange - I've heard great things about this book and Tommy Orange is releasing a second novel this year that I hear has ties to this one.
#9 & 10: Books that have been on my TBR for the longest
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez - I've had this on my digital TBR since August of 2009... 2 0 0 9! WTF!
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut - This one has been on there since December of 2010. Not much better at all. What have I been doing all these years??
I'm not sure which of my mutuals are big book readers tbh. Hit me up and let me know if you are! I'd love to know who to tag for these kinds of things in the future! 📚💜

Problem:
For 5-10 years now I have mostly put off buying books myself so my family has something to give me for birthdays and Christmas. However, I am starting to realize that I am more likely to actually read new books if they are in ebook format. Unfortunately ebooks are unlikely to be considered an adequate gift request.
Buy the ebooks myself and keep asking for hardcopies as gifts? Seems a bit silly.
Carry on as I have been and make more of an effort to read the hardcopies? Hasn't worked so far.
Try to sell my family on gifting ebooks? Idk, my mom is pretty stubborn.
Get ebooks from the library? I have been doing this, but they aren't always available.
What to do…

What book are you currently reading? How are you liking it? What book are you going to read next?
I'm currently reading (checks phone) eleven different fanfictions and - oh, wait. Book. Ohhhh yeah right, that exists too.
I'm currently reading Stellarlune, the ninth book of kotlc and so far it's good! The thing is, it's never taken me so long to read such a "small" book (it's only about 600 pages), because I've been reading it for more than a month now and taking pretty big breaks in between. (The reason is pretty obvious ig;)
I haven't decided yet which book I'm going to read next, as I don't know which books I'm going to get for Christmas. I've been wishing for The inheritance games 2 and 3, Starsight and Cytonic (sequels to Skyward), the fourth book of the Pandava quintet, Scarlet (the Lunar Chronicles) and the Reckoners series, so I'll have quite a selection ;).
Which book are you currently reading (and would you recommend it)?
