So what are you reading this year 2021?

I just finished re-reading Fletcher Pratt's The Blue Star. I liked it more than the first time I read it, but that's somewhat damning it with faint praise. It's still got an unpleasant cynicism to it. Though I suspect that was the point, it grated on me.
Now I'm onto another re-read The Return of the King. It's been almost six years since my last readthrough.

I just finished Rhythm of War from the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson, and am starting Warbreaker by the same author.

Ah. Didn't read Warbreaker first, huh? Well, you're in for some more good stuff that will connect to Stormlight Archives then!
I’m about 150 pages in Anthony Doerr’s new book Cloud Cuckoo Land. He’s got a wonderful storyteller’s voice. I’m too brain-frazzled to describe it better right now, but if you liked his earlier book All the Light We Cannot See definitely give this one a go.
As long as your up for a story that takes place, so far, in and around 15th Century Constantinople, present day Idaho, 1940s Idaho, and outer space aboard a generation starship.

I finished The Mask of Loki and it turns out I had read it before. It was eminently forgettable and I had apparently done just that, because I didn't remember a thing about it as I read through it...except for one bit involving King Guy and his Crusaders in the Holy Lands, drinking from a small pool of water that had been contaminated on purpose with the carcass of a dead sheep. Other than that one scene, none of it was familiar and it was easily my least favorite novel that Roger Zelazny ever had a hand in. I do not recommend it.
So next up, as a palate cleanser, I'm going with Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear, a science fiction novel about a man who wakes up early on a generation ship, traveling to an unknown destination - unknown to him at least, as he awakens with no memory of who he is or how he got there. So there will be mysteries unfolding as he learns about the environment he wakes up in...sounds interesting.
