Ask HN: What are you reading?

Posted by dan-bailey 1 day ago

I'm plowing through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, which is not particularly challenging as sci-fi/LitRPG goes, but entertaining enough. I'm also wrapping up Doctorow's _Enshittification_, and I'm looking for something a little meaty to keep the brain working...

Taxation The Peoples Business by Mellon, Andrew W.

It's from 1924 and US centric, old new ideas in there.

Carl was hilarious, can’t wait for the final books

Nettle and Bone I really enjoyed

Some desperate glory also enjoyed

East of Eden very meaty if you want an epic

An Immense World. It’s not as jaw-dropping as I’d expected (yes, I know rattlesnakes can “see” heat), but it’s also not an easy/fun read either. So I’ll probably land at around 3/5 rating.
