        Most kinds. Mostly, I love fantasy books. Currently, I am reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I am holding out on reading Rage of Dragons, until the series is complete. I am intrigued by it’s Africa-inspired world and myth.

          Siddhartha’s so good! I love those kinds of books about self awareness and growth. You’re definitely wiser than me though, I shouldn’t have made the mistake of starting a series that isn’t don’t yet, but I guess ASOIAF and the Kingkiller Chronicle wasn’t lesson enough for me

            Yeah. I am really liking Siddhartha so far. I learnt not to touch the series that is complete, from TV shows. Either, they get cancelled or the quality dips pretty drastically. So, I learnt to wait till the end.

              Ya, that’s a good call. I just try to stay unattached when I start a new book or show. If you’re big on sci/fi, Project Hail Mary is good and they’re making a movie out of it. What’s a good book that you read recently?

                I heard good things about Project Hail Mary. I will add it to my evergrowing TBR. :(

                I loved this book called Tao The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts. It is a lovely intro to taoism.

                  Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll add that to my list. Are you on goodreads? I love cataloging all the books I’ve read and want to read, especially since I often forget which ones I have read.

                  What sort of video games do you like to play?

                    I used to. I haven’t used my account in years now.

                    I love story-rich games. Games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, etc. Recently, I finished Hollow Knight. I cheated to actually be able play it. I wanted to experience the world and the story, but don’t want to deal with the difficulty.
