What are you reading in 2022?

I just reread CJ Cherryh's Morgaine trilogy - I definitely have the books, but I must have picked up another set somewhere because they were on the to-be-read shelf, so I did.

So good. Love them.

Good ol' CJ. Nobody gets any sleep in her books.

I have the 4th book somewhere. Putting up shelves today and hopefully doing a lot of unboxing.

Now I'm reading Edgar Rice Burroughs' Pellucidar. I only liked the first book, but considering how much I love his Barsoom series, I wanted to give the Pellucidar series a second chance.

I'm about finished with Warlord of Mars and thinking of doing the first three Pellucidar next. Worth getting the collected first three? Or should I start with just one of them? (How is the Venus one?)

I can't speak for the third, but I enjoyed the second one Pellucidar novel more than the first (though admittedly, part of it may have just been a "well, this isn't Barsoom" shock).

If you have a Kindle or other e-reader, the books are available free through Project Gutenberg.

Zelazny. Snarf's post convinced me finally to sit down and read him.

Amber’s fun and Lord of Light is one of the greatest SF novels of all time (also, fun).

Right now I am on "The Practical Renaissance: Information Culture and the Quest for Knowledge in Early Modern England 1500-1640"

I’m almost done with the excellently-named Sequoia Nagamatsu’s How High We Go in the Dark. It’s a pandemic novel that reminds me, in places, of Station Eleven, A Visit From the Good Squad, and George Saunders short stories. Not quite the sum of those parts, but good.

After that I’ll probably try Emily St. John Manuel’s new book, Sea of Tranquility. I think there’s pandemic in it. There may be a theme here…

Of those three, I enjoyed the Barsoom series more than the Pellucidar series and the Pellucidar series more than the Venus series. (And I've read all of the novels in each series, although it's been literally decades for the latter two; I did read the first three Barsoom novels to my nephew as bedtime stories in the past few years.)

I'm currently reading the 8th book of "The Expanse" series.

I dig Jack of Shadows quite a bit. I need to read more of Amber at some point, too.
