For fun and pulp I'm deep in Warhammer 40k novels until the final novel of the Horus Heresy series comes out sometime this year. Specifically, the novel Titandeath by Guy Haley has been really enjoyable because of its great mix of giant robot on giant robot action and a series of more personal sections showing the conflict and cooperation of woman and machine, man and machine. I think that it gives a lot of flavor and depth to something that started out as a way to sell plastic toys and has become a series of more than 500 books, shorts, audio dramas and more by a ton of different very talented authors. I'm gonna continue to talk about 40k because there's never been a better time to get into it.
For something more substantial I was listening to an interview with a history professor who said his favorite two books that he assigns every level of student he teaches are War and Peace and a book I hadn't heard of called Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann
Buddenbrooks is subtitled: The Decline of a Family. I'm looking forward to getting into it.
Anyway.
