Movie night at >>122860 Remember to support your fellow 'Booleans! Gems Meta Art Magma
I kinda stopped reading since finals season and I want to get back into it (in particular /anthro/ reading) now I got more time with summer break. ITT I’ll post stories I’ve read or am reading and talk about them.
I don't read books without pictures in em
>>115676 (OP) Sounds promising.
I hope you enjoy your books 'gem :) May I recommend the Redwall series by Brian Jacques? A recent post reminded me of its existence, and I remember liking it when I was younger--plus it fits your criteria. Recently I began reading Dune by Frank Herbert, it isn't /anthro/ at all to my knowledge, but I am enjoying it nonetheless!
>>115682 I’ll write it down. I wanna do some smaller reads for now so I don’t gotta face any commitment issues.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/77743146 HMOFA fic where anon (not his name but you get what i mean) lives on an embassy of an alien planet inhabited by blue lizard people. During his stay anon ended up in a relationship with one of the locals but the issue is these aliens secrete a deadly neurotoxin that makes cohabitation and especially touch deadly for humans. There’s countermeasures but anon and the other humans are forced to wear a hazmat suit around the aliens. I like this story it’s ~4000 words and extremely cute along with having bits of worldbuilding for how humans cope with life on this planet. Only thing it needs is more entry’s in the series but it doesn’t look like any is coming with this story busing published February this year.
Checked out the authors pfp and he has another short story doe this one’s real short at about ~2000 words. https://archiveofourown.org/works/66267016 Story follows anon and a band on 11 other mercenaries trying to make it to the next town before a blizzard hits. In the process they hire a fox guide to lead them there but the next day they discover the guide disappeared in the middle of the night. In true Fox fashion it’s discovered this was a ploy to get with the anon who was into her because she knew he’d look for her and lead the other 11 mercenaries to their deaths by giving them the wrong directions because she didn’t like them. I hope the anon is happy to get turned into a bone broth or some shit. Despite the obvious I am somewhat a sucker for characters like the fox in this story I find the lengths and schemes they do just for love rather charming and it makes my little heart flutter. Story does have some logical jumps and needs a bit more exposition. 6/10
Do I read the snoot game fanfic next or story about an gator in the Everglades?
>>115803 I found Snoot Game disappointing. I downloaded it and installed it but I can't find any waifu characters at all.
>>115676 (OP) I have dyslexia and it's really hard to read anything.
>>115821 That’s a shame. Do e readers work?
>>115821 Audiobooks?
Decided I’ll go with the snoot game fic first as it’s incomplete I think.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/66573400/chapters/171722287 Read this but it’s less finished than I thought can’t really review it.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/59847502/chapters/152666668#workskin Reading this now. Done chapter one it looks good minus some grammar.
>>118505 Sounds like shit, I'll stick with my acclaimed sci-fi and fantasy kino
>>118510 Talk about what you read please.
>>118511 Mostly "mainstream" and big titles: the book of the new sun, empire of silence, the forever war, dune, etc. Hobby writing doesn't interest me, I want that quality, prose, pacing, and world building that most indieslop never delivers
>>115676 (OP) You should rebrand this as a general book thread so we can talk about things other than what you're reading
>>118526 The 'gem's opinion is the only one that matters on this site.
>>118526 Everyone is invited to talk about reading ITT but that’s what I made the tread for.
>>118530 Well fine then >>118516 I have been meaning to read the book of the new sun but I get so lazy with reading. It's annoying because I can read a whole book in a day if I just have the will to do it. If you enjoy sci-fi, there's a series I talked about with another boo here when we played risk of rain 2, which is The Culture series by Iain M. Banks. I love it. I went through the audiobooks for them which isn't as good as reading but it was easier for me so I could actually get it done. Of the mainline culture series books the only one I haven't gone through is Inversions. My favorite of the series is Use of Weapons. I'd start with Consider Phlebas if you do go through it, though I think a lot of people start with the second book Player of Games, since Consider Phlebas is unique in introducing the titular Culture as a background force rather than as a focus point like the other books. It's an interesting introduction to the series, though a lot of the cooler sci-fi stuff doesn't start happening until book 2. Only a few of the books are really chronological so it can be kind of read out of order.
>>118532 >Well fine then I’m not sure if I was understood. To clarify I’m still going to use this thread as my review reading dump but everyone is invited to talk about anything reading in here if they wish.
>>118543 I read the back of a cereal box this morning and that shit scared me I can't believe people keep eating this stuff as a breakfast staple. I guess it's fine as a dessert or snack or special food but not as a staple.
>>118571 There's cereal and there's cereal, I suppose. You can get high-fiber cereal with very little added sugar and eat it with skim milk. Or you can get Honey Frosted Coco Bombs in a box with a cartoon character on it and wonder why your teeth are rotting. I guess.
