YES

PERSONAL MARKET, but feel free to bet

I've not been very active at reading lately. I like reading, but it's just not a priority rn so.

## Also, a short book would count, so y'know, if someone has any suggestions!

Update: I finished reading Consider Phlebas, I'm 30% done with "Relentless", I'm 70% done with "Snow crash", and I'm 40ish% done with "House of cards". I haven't made progress with Flatland but might finish it off over the weekend

@firstuserhere Finished flatland, finished snow crash, finished consider phlebas, and got to ~80% of house of cards, and still at 30% of relentless.

@firstuserhere What did you think of flatland? I liked it even though it's pretty short.

@TobyBW I think flatland is pretty amazing! I'll write more about it, it's tickled so many cool ideas in my head

Started this book called "House of leaves" - i'm thrown off by the printing, this is so cool. Some pages are printed upside down, some diagonal, some with just a word, some with pictures of letters with pictures of text inside, some where the text itself looks horrifying lol!

This is probably gonna be a fun read!

@firstuserhere house of leaves is turning to be a real scary book. Some scenes are genuinely frightening

For a good short read, I recommend Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy. You could even read all 5 in the series and meet this month’s goal, but the first good is good on its own either way.

@TobyBusickWarner definitely! I read the first one last month. Starting restaurant at the end of the universe soon

@TobyBW That is true, they're brilliant books. However, I've read the entire series twice before, and was trying for some new books this time, with Hitchiker's being sort of a book i'd read with a partner or a friend as they're reading
