I used to hate the Harry Potter series, but lately I have been reading Sorcerer's Stone and Truly Devious.

Last night I started The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, which is the first book in the Discworld series. I've heard good things about it and my husband recently decided to start buying and reading the books himself, so I'll be reading each one as soon as he's done with it.

I’m about halfway done with “The Institute” by Stephen King. I have some impressions, but they contain spoilers for the first 200 pages.
The book honestly hasn’t scared me. I’m more just baffled by the way the Institute workers treat the children. It’s also a bit weird how Luke was able to escape the Front Side building with no issue.

I just finished reading Black Beauty. It's rather upsetting in places, but I quite liked it. I'm not sure how it never found itself in the required reading lists in grade school, considering its social impact.

Neruda's Canto General. More going thru than reading maybe, but I was curious about the cantos after listening to parts of them before so I got it in Spanish from work. Surprised how much I can get but then I also know some history I guess.

Idk if you've finished reading it yet but there's nothing really scary about it imo, idk why some people classify it as horror. It's more of a thriller than anything else. I thought it was a good read, though, just not as good as some of his older works.
I'm currently reading Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking. It was loaned to me by my massage therapist who said it would really help me understand the subtle little things my muscles are doing unconsciously because of things like my anxiety and how that can lead to my back pain. So far, it's been an interesting read about the snap decisions our brain can make and how reliable some of them might actually be.

I've been on a reading kick lately and have been finishing off all the books I started earlier in the year,,
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Finished off the second half of this book in one day. I really enjoyed the Victorian gothic atmosphere, beautiful language, and plot. All of the male characters in this book are absolute trash tho
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh - Finished this one yesterday. I got this book in Edinburgh this summer, since it's kinda my habit to buy books set/written in the place I'm visiting on holiday. A very dark, gritty book that highlighted the contrast between my experience as a tourist in the nicer parts of Edinburgh vs the reality of the poorer people living there.

i had no clue what to expect of this book, but i did not expect it to be a scp foundation-like sci-fi novel. it's a collection of testimonies by people stationed on a spaceship on their interactions with some found alien objects that garner humanlike sympathy from the people. it's pretty interesting so far!

I was reading Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey, but I ultimately dropped it. The racist characters, meandering prose, and convoluted plot really turned me off. It’s a shame since Ken Kesey is the most well known author from my state. I’m sure One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest is a good story, but this one didn’t do anything for me.
Now I’m reading Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender. As a non-binary person, it’s great to see more authors in the community write such solid stories. Felix is a protagonist you can really root for.

Yeah, Ken Kesey's works are like that apparently. I've read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and while it is a good story, it suffers from some of the same issues you have with Sometimes A Great Notion, especially the blatant racism.
Last night I finished reading Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell. It was an interesting study on how the unconscious part of the brain functions and both the good and bad results that can come from that.
Tonight I plan to start The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett.
