I have not exactly run out of things to read -
➡️ Wax and I were reading Martha Wells's Fall of Ile-Rien. I have to get the last two from her and run them through Calibre to fix the format and the sorting for my ereader app, then put them on my phone.
➡️ After I finished the Iliad and Odyssey, I was thinking perhaps some more ancient Greek plays. Anybody have any suggestions? I don't really want to start with Antigone, which I've read before, or anything else about Odysseus.
➡️ Took a little break from Arthurian romances because a lot of people seem to be recommending that you skip the Vulgate and just read Malory, but I was so bored by him that I contracted an intense, teeth-grinding grudge about it as a teenager, and I'm not sure if I want to try again. I was having trouble turning up good resource lists of individual Arthurian romances to read, and the scattered nature of the information just couldn't stand up to my ADHD. Or vice versa.
➡️ I read the first book of Stephen King's Dark Tower series a couple months ago. I might read the second one soon.
➡️ I actually bought another novel recently to read but I forgot to transfer it to my phone. The Goblin Emperor, I think?
➡️ I am thinking I might try one of the Anne Rice books soon, now that we finished s2 of IWTV. Wax reread them all last year but I've never read them because as a voracious young genre reader I avoided all horror. I don't like horror! I'm not gonna read any of King's horror titles. But I have a good idea of what the horror levels are here and I think it'd be fine. And I mean, I do like vampires. Saberhagen's sort of humorish? Dracula series (which starts with a retelling of Dracula from the count's perspective) was my favorite as a teen.
-but I am having trouble with what to read next and have been dithering and unsuccessfully looking for a piece of fanfiction to satisfy some nebulous craving. You know when you find a really long AU novel in some unknown fandom, or one you haven't thought about forever, or have never read before, and it's unusual and arresting and absorbing? Like that one where Xena and Gabrielle are professional chefs, or that one that's just like 500k of Landeskog marrying Danny Briere, of all people? There's no good way to look for those.
