Here's what I'm reading:
I'm going to stop reading A Dance with Dragons and the two Star Wars books for now and wrap up Empire, Incorporated and Determined while I continue on with Das Kapital.
Bonus question:
What do you PLAN to read later on?
Enjoy!
I just finished Dan Abnett's The Magos, and it was actually pretty fucking rad, the best Abnett WH40K novel I've read (actually, listened to the audiobook) so far (I read Xenos, Hereticus and Malleus and this one was vastly superior)
Now I'm reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, and it's pretty dope too, but also at times as dry as the dust storms it describes. Very good hard sci-fi, which is something I do enjoy immensely.
Next, I'll go from WH40K slop to a bit of proper literature, something very grown-up, Grande Sertão: Veredas, by Guimarães Rosa, a great classic of Brazilian literature that I've been meaning to tackle for a very long time.
I've been picking it up and putting it down on audio for a few weeks, and now that they're on Mars it's really got its hooks in me.
Just the descriptions of the geology is fascinating.
It is! I'm a sucker for hard sci-fi, and I would have been even happier if there were some stuff happening in space, orbital mechanics is my jam
