I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

I’m coming up to the crescendo (hopefully) of Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson. I can’t say that I’ve loved it as much as some of his previous work but it’s got 150 pages left to change that.

Ive liked Neals books progressively less every release after Cryptonomicon, which is a shame because that book is great. They’re getting to be such slogs at this point.

Agreed - though I loved Anathem and couldn’t put it down at the time, I couldn’t go back to it.
