What Fiction are you reading this week, January 18, 2026? [View all]
This discussion thread is pinned.
Imagine a world where libraries get more funding than guns.
I've just finished Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar. Defies description; poetic, prophetic, weird. Author really hates trump, though. Calls him President Invective. Appropriate. Next up, The Feast by Margaret Kennedy. A vintage crime classic exploring the mystery of a buried Cornish hotel, from 1950. It was hugely popular and rereleased in 2021 as an ebook.
Listening to A Symphony of Echoes by Jodi Taylor, the second Chronicles of St Mary's book. "Wherever the historians go, chaos is sure to follow.." Enjoyable.
Really busy these days dealing with reality. Less time for fun or enjoyment. Not giving up, though. Hope you don't either.
