Ive gotten right into a recently published dark fantasy fiction series called the empire of the wolf. Im half way through the first book called the justice of kings. Really addictive so far. Some call it legal fantasy because it involves a heavy amount of laws, morals and debates throughout and written by an actual litigator irl (richard swan). I like that the magic in it is sparsely used. Makes it more thrilling when it actually happens.
Anyone else been reading something interesting or wanting to?

Sounds like a good book.
I’m reading this really good book too.
It’s about life questions and the author answers them.

That sounds interesting Zoe. What kind of life questions are asked?
I love a book that delves deeply into philosophical ideas regardless of whether it might be fiction or nonfiction.

Yes it’s quite a good read too, like your book is.
I can’t talk about the themes as they are inappropriate for this website.

Nice yeah i love me some dark fantasy and some dystopian sci fi. Ive read a fair bit of nonfiction too. More than half my books are nonfiction. Like history, war, politics, religion.
But theres nothing better than some escapist fiction. Temporarily forgetting our real world and circumstances haha.

Is it like Game of Thrones? I read a lot of fantasy in the past but still reading most nights.
I’m re-reading the Thomas Covenant series again. It’s been a long time so started on the first one…just getting there and doing some Conan because you can get it cheap on kindle and it’s so good for swords and sorcery and it’s more swords at that!
and…going to read a technical magazine about electric cars. Gotta know the ins and outs in case I win the lotto!

Yeah I’d say it is kinda. But i havent read or watched much of game of thrones. I did watch that prequel to game of thrones and liked it though.
But the Justice of Kings is much more interesting to me so far. Im going to order the next ones from amazon in a couple days when i get paid. Ive tried here and there to read on my phone, but i still havent really been able to like it. I would save space and money though if i was to like reading on a screen.

Oh really? I have both of those books at home! A clockwork orange was the most difficult thing to try to read. What with the crazy slang words constantly used. I couldnt get through it.
And i do want to finish reading one flew over the cuckoos nest. I havent got very far in that one either. Do you know if the entire book is told from the persepectice of the mute native american dude?
You’ve got awesome taste in books from those two examples. Not for the faint of heart!

That’s what I’ve noticed for A Clockwork Orange, but I’ve seen the movie so many times I can “get the jist” of what they’re saying.
And yeah I heard Cheif is the teller of the story! He has schizophrenia. He thinks there are microphones on his mop or broom.

It’s like indisipherable to me! Haha.
Yea, I’ve only read the first couple chapters of cuckoos nest. It was interesting reading from his crazy perspective. Wasn’t sure if it was like that through the whole book or not. The delusions and warped ideas he has about the staff and nurse Ratched and all that are hectic!
I can relate to him a lot. When ive been in my deepest psychotic episodes, I’m absolutely well beyond all semblances of sanity haha.
