Always been a fan of sci-fi and read fair share of weird stories. But this is disgustingly creepy and unexpectedly modern ( considering the time when it was written) . Undoubtedly this is going to be my favourite book this year.

my wonderful aunt bought me this book when we went to powells the other day, heard about this book on a podcast I watch years ago and have been meaning to get around to it, wasn’t until a few days ago where I got the motivation to Get back into reading. have always loved reading but after high school just kinda stopped, so it’s been about 5 or 6 years. just excited to get back into it and wanted to share, after this I think im gonna read his book the deadzone

I made a goal this year to read 26 books. Last year I read like 5, so this was a big jump. And I’m well on my way - I’ve read 16 so far. I wanted to replace other hobbies (mindless scrolling / tv watching after work), help myself focus, maybe improve my vocabulary. Not to be cliche, but I’ve actually really enjoyed this goal, the stories, the deep focus I now am able to maintain for hours. This hobby suites me.

Now, I’ve always been a slow reader. But I feel weird glossing over /skimming. I read nearly every word in my head and maybe that is just part of my own imagination but it lends to really slow reading. I’m usually at a minute a page but this obviously depends on the book.

I’d really like to read quicker so that I can learn more about my tastes and also so that I can be exposed to more ideas and impactful stories. So…how can I go about this? Any tips are appreciated.

Never read this when I was younger. Just started it this week and so far it is enjoyable. I’ve only read Huck Finn by Twain many years ago in school and remember liking his writing. Any other fans?
