After Reddit pulled a capitalism, I decided to come here and more importantly read more. In the past decade I had read maybe 2 books. Now I have read a ton and I’m really happy to be reading as much as I did when I was a kid.

Here’s my list from June.

Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel

Only Human by Sylvain Neuvel

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

Shogun by James Clavell

Circe by Madeline Miller

The Secret History by Donna Tartt

The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks

I, Robot by Isaac Asimov

The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Wool by Hugh Howey

Shift by Hugh Howey

Dust by Hugh Howey

Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald

A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge

(Reading) A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge

Since Reddit pulled their capitalism and I joined Lemmy, I have come out of my shell more here, but also gotten a lot more reading done, and the time I do spend watching YouTube and other fun stuff is a lot better than it used to be since Lemmy got me back into Linux and the FOSS ecosystem, particularly Invidious and FreeTube.

So I have ended up spending less time on social media, but the time I have spent has been a lot more fun.

The Linux and FOSS “propaganda” on here is effective lol. I’ve swapped my laptop over to Linux and I’m close to swapping my server and main computer to it.
