The Glass Hotel and Station Eleven are both great books.
The 3 books make this sort of strange trilogy where they all tell a completely different story, but they are all connected by certain events and characters.
It's really incredible in my opinion.

The Illuminatus! trilogy as fun counterpoint to the Gulag Archipelago which was grueling. This is the Audible version and I had qualms about someone doing this on the cheap, because it's complicated as hell and I had my doubts about the narration. Surprisingly, it's pretty well done. Maybe a bit over the top on vocals, but heh, how can you possibly go over the top with this book. Robert Anton Wilson was an interesting thinker. One thing that has been lost is that the left used to have libertarian and anarchist thinkers. And I can respect them. The current crowd of leftists - F them all. This book may have served to inoculate me against all the stupid conspiracy stuff of the current cultists. It was WAY ahead of its time.

I picked this one up last year, not yet gotten around to reading it though. How’re you liking it?
RE: The Psychology of Persuasion. I'm probably biased because I love books on psychology. I thought it was excellent!

RE: The Three-Body Problem. It looks like it's being produced by the guys that did Game of Thrones. That will be interesting.

Finished a Gentleman in Moscow this weekend. It was enjoyable, nice read, but it wasn't nearly as good as Lincoln Highway IMO. When I finished TLH I read a bunch of reviews online and the prevailing opinion was AGIM was outstanding but TLH just wasn't quite as good. I have to imagine that a reader would likely lean towards whichever they read first, because to me I thought TLH was miles better. But I certainly didn't dislike AGIM and i'm glad I read it. I really like Towle's writing style but not sure if I have interest in Rules of Civilyt, not right now anyway.
Went to the bookstore and bought Blood Meridian and Three Body Problem based on all the priase in the thread. I'd heard of BM/Mccarthy before just never really given it a second's thought to actually dive in. This one doesn't look too long so should be a good starter book for him I'd think.

I would say that The Road or No Country For Old Men would be better starting points for McCarthy. They are easier reads, but still give you an idea if McCarthy is your cup of tea. Blood Meridian is still a fantastic book though.

Finishing up All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks. Really enjoyed it so far and found her perspectives on love (and the many facets of it) very interesting.
Decided to hit up Reddits r/bookclub for some ideas and will be doing The Awakening by Kate Chopin and Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer for February.

I recently watched Iris with Judy Dench and Kate Winslet so it inspired me to finally pick up Under the Net which I've had lying around for a while.
So far it is much funnier and enjoyable than I had imagined given her philosophical bent. Waugh-esque almost.
