What the title says. What books are you reading? Or if not books, what are some interesting articles you've read lately?

I've been devouring Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series this past week (just started the last book yesterday). It adds so much to the Percy Jackson universe, and I plan on binging Trials of Apollo afterwards.

Rereading Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!

I've just been getting burnt out on the literal insanity of the world and most notably of the people in positions of power, and needed a complete diversion. I had been reading Haruki Murakami 's 1Q84, but I just couldn't stay with it - too many loathsome characters. So I set it aside and pondered what to read instead, and Discworld just seemed the obvious choice. I read the entire series over the last ten years or so, so it'd been long enough that I could at least reread the earlier ones. And this time through, I can skip the ones I didn't like so much (like pretty much all of the Rincewind books). So I started with Equal Rites, then went on to Mort and Wyrd Sisters and am now on Guards! Guards! And it's just as good as I'd remembered.

If you want some fresh air and something light try 'In the Lives of Puppets' by TJ Klune. I just finished and it left me feeling happy and good.
