I'm reading The Witcher and The Complete Writings of Zhuangzi. One cos I enjoy fantasy, the other cos I wanna learn more about Daoism.
Main characters are same but the plot is more loose I think. Start I saw was very different from start I read.Is the Netflix series, the Witcher, based on this book? (I've not watched it, but a few people have recommended it.)
Is Horror fiction? a nonfic about its history? or a writing guide?I'm reading Horror: A Very Short Introduction and Over the Garden Wall: Soulful Symphonies. I'm starting to get into the autumn/spooky season mood, so I'm going to be starting on my Halloween reading list soon. How about y'all?
The Mahabharata, complete translation.
Still in the first book(there's 12).
I've read several of the abridged versions, and am never satisfied; something's always left out.What are your thoughts so far?![]()

Ever read the Malazan fantasy series? Plenty of darkness in there for me...
It often brings me peace when reading it. I'm loving all the smaller stories I haven't read before, too.
Quite well! Nowhere near as dark as Malazan but still quite good. Also, reading Lavey's Satanic Bible in bite sized pieces when the fancy takes me. It is definitely anti-Christianity but not really evil as Christianity media claimed. Just proposed an alternate way of thinking about life which is also quite humorous.How are you enjoying The Witcher?
That's great .. it's good to see people making good use of their time.I haven't started my new job yet so I've been off for the past two weeks and using the time to catch up on my reading as much as I can (that's also the reason why I've been posting on here so prolifically lol; I have a lot of free time right now). I've finished three or four books in the last few weeks and I'm hoping to read more books about religion. I recently read God: A Very Short Introduction which I highly recommend, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.
I'm currently reading my book of notes that I had inspired to me in some cases
I'm also going over some great audio lessons from a very nice shia seminary online on the topics of arabic grammar, morphology, logic and public speaking (I personally am a sunni muslim but I love a lot of things about the shia especially love islamic mysticism.)
