What are you reading in 2025?

great American author of the 20th century. This was despite the fact that I was reading Pynchon at the time and had read Infinite Jest previously. And there's Vonnegut, Chandler, Faulkner, Hemingway, DeLillo, etc. I think King is a great author

I miss Steinbeck in that list! One of my favorite contemporary American authors! But honestly King is not that far from this list of names. I feel he catches American culture really great (at least to me and my European perspective), has great characters and uses horror as effective narrative instrument to tell great stories about the human condition. (I realize I seem to grow into a King fan after only 3 books haha).

Plus, he seems like a nice dude in interviews and I love how he repeatedly dunked Elon Musk on Twitter.

Sorry to ask, but did you mean All Star Superman? I think Absolute Superman is current.

Yes! Thanks! I've corrected my post.

To my shame, I've only read Travels with Charley, which was absolutely delightful.
