What are you reading?
Sep. 18th, 2024 10:55 amI'm currently listening to an audiobook called Flux by Jinwoo Chong. I picked it because I'm running out of books that Goodreads has decided are cyberpunk that I can easily get through my library (or as audiobooks). So, what I did was just put "cyberpunk" into the tags I wanted into the Libby app and asked it to find me some stuff. I'm not sure how well it did. There is a tiny bit of "wetwear" in this novel (one of the characters was mute, but receives a voice modulator,) but... I don't know, man. Like, the SF is light on the ground. I think I was duped into listening to mainstream fiction. *grumpy face*
My plan is to listen to the book until the loan period runs out (about five days) on the off chance that it markedly improves. I have another book that just became available, which is not SF, which is Someone You Can Build a Nest in by John Wiswell, who I met, briefly, when he was in town for Fourth Street. This book is getting a lot of good buzz, plus I rather liked John, so I thought I might as well give it a try. So, that one is up next in the queue.
Otherwise, the big thing I'm re-reading right now is the rulebook for Thirsty Sword Lesbians, as it seems that is the campaign that my brand new once-a-month Tuesday night RPG group is going to have me run for them. Due to having run this several times before (including twice as a one shot at ConFABulous), I have homebrewed the f*ck out of the cyberpunk scenario, and so another huge thing I've been doing is writing what amounts to a personal Player's Guide.
Which, not going to lie, I've been really enjoying.
I'm a whore for worldbuilding. It's a big part of what I used to do when I was writing a metric ton of Bleach fanfic. (Which, shhh, don't tell, I've also had a yen to write again. This is all, of course, because I have a novel I SHOULD be working on.)
Anyway, how about you? Reading anything interesting or fun right now?
