I finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, and started The Last White Man by Mohsin Hamid. It’s a thin book, and I am almost at the end.
The book is interesting, though I didn’t like the writing style much, but I guess it suits the story, the way it’s told.
What about you? What have you been reading?
Edit: So, I made this post 2 days ago, but turned out there was some issue between lemmy.world and discuss.online so my posts and comments weren’t showing up here. It seems the issue is resolved now. So, that’s why the date is 2 days old, and thread is posted late.
I just gave up on Lily and the Octopus (by Steven Rowley) and had to give up on it half way through. It’s about a guy who’s dog is getting old and has cancer. He calls the tumor on her head an octopus. And he acts like it’s a real octopus, and maybe he can convince it to leave and go back to the ocean. No one else sees it this way, but it’s not clear whether the MC is nuts, or if this is just supposed to be a cute twist of reality. But at one point he slaps the octopus, and since hes’ already unlikable and I can’t tell if he just straight-up smacked his sick dog, I cannot continue.
Sounds like a weird story.
