This includes articles, ebooks, audiobooks, etc. If you do, what genres and which books?
Currently I’m re-reading entertaining trash.
- Dan Brown - Angels and demons. Basically indiana jones / national treasure on steroids. Very entertaining and good storytelling.
- Agatha Christie - And then there were none. An extremely entertaining who-dunnit in a mansion, with lots of twists. Not too long, and keeps you on your toes the whole time.

Whoa nice, bet that was fun. I’d love to read the play to see how they end it differently.
Leasure reading has fallen by the wayside. It’s a pity but I like a particular type of book that is rarely fulfilled. I mostly just read my subscribed RSS feeds
If anyone has recommendations, I like surreal nonfiction and fiction (not too fantasy, think “his dark materials”), with an emphasis on storytelling and character development. I enjoy most densities, I occasionally dare read academia.
Audio books here. When I cook, when I’m at the gym, beginning of my shift while I go through my emails. I listen to mostly trashy sci-fi books, sometimes good / decent sci-fi. At the third book in the “Three body problem” trilogy now, it’s pretty damn good.
I average at one - two books a month. Great majority sci-fi. I read only for fun, to disconnect, so my bar for quality is pretty low, there’s a loooot of fun stuff out there.
Three body books are monumental. They reignited my will to read. Also really enjoying the murderbot diaries which I bet will appeal to all the rad commies in here.

News articles from various sources, academic papers for university classes, discission threads on Lemmy and Reddit, various short form fiction.
I love reading fiction. I like classics American as well as contemporary fiction. Occasional foreign translations as well.

I’m currently reading Immortel by J.R Dos Santos, I find it pretty good I don’t really know the genre tho. Otherwise I really like biographical genre.
Btw I used to think that I couldn’t read books because I simply couldn’t focus but I’ve found a trick and now I love reading. The “trick” is that I must listen to a music from which I know the lyrics and I add some white noises to that, like that my mind can only focus on what I’m reading (or at least more than before).
Because I’m often on the train, it’s easier for me to take an e-book reader, than anytime carrying a book with me.
Yes, I read every day, and do about 25 to 30 books per year. Am using https://bookwyrm.social/ instead of GoodReads to track them.
Yes: “God: An Anatomy” by Francesca Stavrakopoulou
I don’t think I’ve ever really did any dedicated reading since the Eragon series when I was still in school.
Fantasy Sci-Fi Horror Post-apocalyptic/dystopian Medieval history Leftist texts Peter Joseph (whatever he is) Mythology/folklore Pagan interests
Yes, I tend to read the most boring kind of books I can find, they’re fun.
I like reading Light Novels/Web Novels. Usually Fantasy & Sci-Fi topics. But, since my eyes gets tired very easily reading I use often the Text-to-Speech function. Sometimes up to 90% of the time. I’ll be honest, many are not that good quality but they entertain me and are in good format compatible with the Text-to-Speech function.
I also read with less frequency Fantasy & Sci-Fi books like Red Rising, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Green Hank, Enders Game, etc.
