I like Bill Browder (Red Notice, Freezing Order) and Anne Applebaum (Gulag, Red Famine, Twilight of Democracy) but they have become so shameless about promoting their own books on Twitter that I nuked them. I think it's an annoying marketing strategy that they're encouraged or obligated to do

Halfway through Slaughterhouse Five.
Packs a lot to think about.

Give mechanical piano and cat's craddle a chance after.
My current read is Murakami's "What I talk about when I talk about running"

P.S. Book was surprisingly good, made me consider trying myself in half-marathon at least. Local running store Run United organizes one every half a year or so, might give it a try

Yeah my next vonnegut will be cats cradle.
I just finished the passenger by cormac mccarthy yesterday and will move onto stella maris soon.

My wife is a big fan of Murakami so I tried a couple of his books but not really my cup of tea. But i really liked the short story barn burning.

His novel style is just not for everyone I guess, whole lot of exposition and secondary plotlines. One that I'm reading right now is more of biography-style, so it's different from his usual.

Man, Passenger was so good, now that you've mentioned it, I kinda want to revisit it! :D Been like 6 years I think

I think there's another book called passenger. And I think i know which one youre talking about because when i had googled the title that one kept popping up lol. The one I read was just released a few months ago. it's paired with one called stella maris as sort of a sister book.

I might've mistook it with The Portable by Kerouac since I've been reading McCarthy's Road at the same time back then. My bad :D

Reading like 150+ books every year for decades sometimes plays tricks on your mind, I've just re-checked and I definite have thought it was Portable
