    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.

                  Yaaa, I’m the same way. I wish more games had story mode. I was all about the infinite life, ammo, etc when I was a kid. I was playing Red Dead Redemption 2, eventually looked up the cheat codes, played for a few hours, and then realized I couldn’t save! You can’t save in RDR2 if you use cheat codes, I was so pissed! Now I’m playing Factorio with my brother and having a lot of fun.

                    RDR2 is an incredible game. Well worth a playthrough. You can use a program called WeMod to use cheats, and it won’t cause issues with no being able to save, etc.
