People with an #XTEINKX4 (or a #Kobo or #Kindle!), what are you currently reading on it? Share pics! I'm reading To Be Taught, If Fortunate, by Becky Chambers

#CurrentlyReading #Ereader

@joel I just read that myself!
@joel I'm reading The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune, through Koreader on my Boox Leaf.

@joel
mostly articles from instapaper at the moment, which could be done with koreader and wallabag if I had the energy to switch to something more dig/libre.

I have a stack of dead trees that I'm working through before I get back to ebooks. It's a cycle.

@hobbs Nice, Ghost in the Shell. 🤩
@joel
@irgndsondepp @joel i'm a big fan of most of masamune's work!
@hobbs I only read GitS so far, but I'll check out his other stuff when I find the time for it. šŸ™‚
@joel
@joel I'm reading Ann Leckie's "Ancillary Justice". It's a re-read, but it's been so long I do not remember a whole lot. I'm only three chapters in so far.
@joel Reading some Murderbot Diaries
@heinlenstein please edit that cover to the original I beg you 😭
@joel "Around The World in Eighty Days".
@neil literally my childhood! Hope it has been fun!
@joel I know the book very well - it was my test book, and I decided just to finish it!
@neil not a bad test at all :P

@joel I'm trying out the first Nancy Drew novel, "The Secret of the Old Clock," now that it's hit the public domain. This is the Standard Ebooks (https://standardebooks.org/) edition. I've never read any of the Nancy Drew series but I do like detective novels.

I'm reading with KOReader on a hacked Kindle Voyage.

@GamesMissed HM that book title repeated twice in that page looks a little off, I really like Standard Ebooks tho :P

@joel Agreed. Not sure what's up with that, the text past the cover page is fine. Standard Ebooks is great.

I love old detective novels, I grew up with Sherlock Holmes. Found Lord Peter Wimsey, Nero Wolfe, Parker, and ArsĆØne Lupin at the library after that.

I didn't care much for Christie's Poirot, but I finally read the first of her Miss Marple novels last month, and it was great. I'll probably go back and give Poirot another try soon.

@GamesMissed I've read the first two Poirot novels, I know @amin is quite fond of the guy too
@joel @GamesMissed I've read a bunch of Poirot books, but I always found Miss Marple much more likeable. šŸ™‚
@amin

@irgndsondepp @joel @GamesMissed

Interesting, I like Poirot a lot more, though I admit I've only read a couple of Miss Marple books.

@joel @GamesMissed

I've read almost all of the Poirot novels and short stories. šŸ˜…

@amin @joel @GamesMissed What's with everyone recommending Poirot, when Tommy and Tuppence are sooo much sweeter and cooler ✨✨😁

@bojidar_bg @joel @GamesMissed

I only read the last of the Tommy and Tuppence books, which was also Agatha Christie's last novel and it was… not enjoyable to me at all. Probably not a fair look at the series, I admit.

@bojidar_bg @joel @GamesMissed

(In it, it takes them half the novel to figure out who was murdered, if I remember correctly.)

@joel I'm reading Network Effect by Martha Wells, book 5 from the Murderbot series with KOReader on my hacked Kindle Paperwhite Gen... Old as shit? šŸ˜…
@joel Night Calls by Katherine Eliska Krimbriel. Still looking for Child.0's Kobo but this works well for being attached to my phone.
@joel ā€œBlind Willow, Sleeping Womanā€ on a Go 7, and ā€œMurder at The Vicarageā€ on my XTEINK X4 (omg this thing is so cute)
@joel I just finished the 1831 edition of Frankenstein from Project Gutenberg. I LOVE it! I cannot recommend the book enough.

@joel

"The Girl That My Mother Is Leaving Me For" by Cameron Reed. The science fiction tale of a young trans woman who is being put aside because she's had two miscarriages and the rich woman who adopted her to bear the rich woman's clone thinks it time to move on to another daughter. The first woman and the replacement become close.

@joel @irgndsondepp Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough.

@joel Aww, I’ve got a Nook, so I can’t join in. šŸ˜‰

I’m reading book 28 of the Re:ZERO light novels. Perfect timing since the new season of the anime is now airing.

@rez I forgot about those, more than welcome to append a pic as well :P
@joel I’ll send one when I can! 😁
@joel man, taking a picture of this screen is tough. Still, fantastic for light novels and comics with large illustrations that can also be in color.
@joel Dawn by Octavia E. Butler
@ktneely oh dang I heard that one's kinda messed up

@joel I'm about 100 pages in. The bookclub at Parallel Worlds in Portland is doing the entire series over the course of 8wks.

When i remind myself that it's a trilogy, I start to wonder where it will end up, because that's a lot of material!

@joel just finished Strange Buildings over the weekend. Did it in one seating was so good. Translation by @JimRion by the way!
@joel Currently reading on #XTEINKX4 (because of you  ) Reaper Man - 11th Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett
