All books read in 2025 – here.

I applaud this tradition of yours. Recently came across the word heifer, which was new to me.

Do books read this year, but from a slightly older year, count?
Im my own case it would be Archiwistyka Cyfrowa Długoterminowa ochrona dziedzictwa nauki i kultury/Aneta Januszko-Szakiel.

Previously, on this thread:
-Jurassic Park (for the 3rd time): I mean, yeah. Jurassic Park.
-The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft: self-explanatory.
-Annihilation: novel that serve as inspiration for the movie (enjoyed the movie more but we'll see after I read the following two novels).
-Hour of the Huntress: pulpy story about an Arkham Horror character.
-DDD Decoration Disorder Disconnection I: fan translation of a Nasu Kinoko novel (I still prefer his earlier works like Kara no Kyoukai... but I still have Volume II to read so we'll see).
-Tsuki no Sango: short story about the future of humanity not wanting to do anything...
-Who Goes There?: the novella that inspired The Thing. I enjoyed it, though I still prefer the Carpenter film. I will check out Frozen Hell afterwards to see if it's better (opinions are a bit mixed given some prefer the shorter story and others prefer the extra scenes).

Adding:
-The Dirge of Reason
-Ire of the Void
-The Deep Gate
All three, Arkham Horror novellas. They're ok if you like pulpy "cthulhunian" action.

Authority: second part of the Southern Reach Trilogy. It wasn't wow... that last chapter though.

Next:
-Frozen Hell
-Acceptance
-I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
-The Lost World (rereading it)
-DDD Volume II

You mean finished this year but started before Jan 1? Sure, says finished in 2025 after all.

Collected Shorter Poems 1927-1957 by W. H. Auden

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

from: The More Loving One

A collection of 300 poems by English poet Wystan Hugh Auden. "Shorter" works in this case range from actual shorts to pieces that are several pages long. Most of them I found quite complex, inviting several readings (and perhaps even research, e.g. into the time period when they were written) to grasp at intended meaning. More than one reading also helped in picking up on the structural flow. Poems worth plumbing their depths. I feel I walk away having earned a more honed focus due to the one-mind attention this demanded.

The Old Man leaves his Road to those
Who love it no less since it lost purpose,

Who never ask what History is up to,
So cannot act as if they knew:

Assuming a freedom its Powers deny,
Denying its Powers, they pass freely.

from: The Old Man's Road

These are all some impressive lists people posted. Most of mine are litRPG, sci-fi, fantasy types (like a space opera, isekai, apocalypse, etc.). So, I'm not sure my quality of reading is up to the standards posted here lol.

I also read graphic novels and manga, but I don't know if those even count for books read here. =P
.

It's your reading list. If they count for you, post away!

Would love to see you contribute, please post whatever you are reading. I'm always interested to learn of something new to me, and I get a kick out of a wide range of things, from pulpy trash cool to what might count as high literature. Also, I enjoy seeing what other people are excited about.

"The Genetic Book of the Dead: A Darwinian Reverie" by Richard Dawkins.

Post away, there is no specific genre or much criteria to adhere to.

Much of what I read these days are crime novels (mystery, murder, thrillers), along with some lighter variants. I still read SciFi and Fantasy and other stuff now and then, and in the past I went through periods of reading a lot of Fantasy, a lot of SciFi, a lot of Historical Romance in the swashbuckling form (think Three Musketeers, etc), and a bunch of other things.

It's always interesting to see what other gamers are reading, even if it is fact not fiction or simply comics etc. Not much of what I read is game related, though games have been made of some of the stuff I've read over the years, and of course games cover most genre's these days, probably all.

In any case, I see this thread and the prior ones as just a way to have my reading list available via the web. I rarely even discuss what I read, but occasionally comment on what others have read.

I think I once counted comics I was reading but I stopped doing it because...I don't remember. But I'm actually reading comics as much as I read prose, which is one of the reasons why I'm so slow in finishing books. But feel free to talk about whatever you like and don't feel intimidated. Most of what I read is non-literary stuff :p
