“The time has come” the Walrus said “to talk of many things…”

This thread is for discussing what you are reading in 2026.

Why the duplicate thread?
1. It was requested. (I will assume in good faith, until it is proved otherwise)
2. I’m not in the habit of ignoring/blocking people.
3, I will unwatch this thread, so if you need to catch my attention, you’ll have to tag me.

The primary thread can be found here:

Thread 'What are you reading in 2026?'

Jan 1, 2026

A new year means new books!

I’ll start us off with a copy of Drs. Morris Weiss and W. Paul McKinney’s folio from the year 2000 that I very recently polished off, The Traveler’s Vest Pocket Medical Guide.

I picked this up a while back for a family member who was contemplating doing some traveling, but when their plans fell through, I ended up keeping it. I came across it the other day and, on a whim, put it into my reading pile. I figured that, while I’m not planning on visiting any foreign countries in the near future, it was still good to peruse just to know the information...

I'm currently reading The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe. It's about a young girl who was raised by and used by a con woman before her older sister got her out of that environment and now she's in the middle of a bank robbery/hostage situation and to add to the complications,her ex boyfriend is there along with her girlfriend. The chapters alternate so far between when she was growing up and the present.

I've just taken the monumental step of starting Perry Rhodan. It is a trip that is basically impossible to finish, but I plan on reading here and there (on trips and such, not my basic reading which will still be other novels and books) and slowly making it through...at least the first few sets of books (in the hundreds somewhere, if not the thousands).
