    been reading a lot lately! working thru grundrisse and Foucault's pendulum ATM

    I've been on the e-reader for ages, but I went and got myself a local library membership finally - I forgot how good the tactile experience of reading a physical book is :)

    As hard as I tried, I just couldn't get into Pratchett. There are elements of Discworld I think are great but I just couldn't get hooked like I did with Douglas Adams.

    Love Pratchett, read all of Discworld. :stalin-heart: Currently working my way through Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the USA. Some parts dry as hell, some parts fascinating how blatantly classist they were.

    I've re-read them so many times, recently I decided to try an author that is often recommended if you like him: Robert Rankin, specifically his Brentford Trilogy (made out of eleven novels).

    I'm on book 4, it's not Pratchett and it's a bit surreal at times but it's pretty nice thus far.
