Just picked up Jim Dodge's Stone Junction. Though many might not accord this literary status, it is still a very engaging, thought-provoking read that, among other things, focuses on the failures of formal education, environmental degradation, the perils of nuclear technology. It's polemical, and openly so, but delightful nonetheless. In conjunction, also been reading about what ecologists call a fundamental niche, and it is undeniable that humans are now thinking of the planet as their niche alone. The concept dovetails nicely with the book.

Re: What Are You Reading...
The Hidden Hindu by Akshat Gupta.
Prithvi, twenty-one-year-old, is searching for a mysterious middle-aged Aghori (Shiva devotee), Om Shastri, who was traced more than 200 years ago before he was captured and transported to a high-tech facility on an isolated Indian island. When the Aghori was drugged and hypnotized for interrogation by a team of specialists, he claimed to have witnessed all four Yugas (the epochs in Hinduism) and even participated in both Ramayana and Mahabharata. Om's revelations of his incredible past that defied the nature of mortality left everyone baffled. The team also discovers that Om had been in search of the other immortals from every Yuga. These bizarre secrets could shake up the ancient beliefs of the present and alter the course of the future

Starting Orwell's 1984 again. Seems appropriate for what is going on in Ukraine.
Book was based on Stalin. Should be a sequel titled "Little Stalin".
Re: What Are You Reading...
1984 was one of my favourites. Currently reading Allegiant as per my wife's requirement.

Re: What Are You Reading...
Artemis by Andy Weir.
It takes place in the late 2080s in Artemis, the first and so far only city on the Moon. It follows the life of porter and smuggler Jasmine "Jazz" Bashara as she gets caught up in a conspiracy for control of the city.

Re: What Are You Reading...
I'm currently reading Requiem Infernal, mostly on the bus to work. I've seen someone say Fehervari is the Dostoevsky of Warhammer 40k and I was intrigued. Overall a nice read, there are some great passages I remember being stricken by but even as a 40K fan a lot of things go over my head. I still don't fully understand what's happening at the end of the prologue for example. The fact that it's not about getting to action also makes it harder to digest. The Night Lord trilogy was a lot easier to read for me because of this.

Fehervari is a very unique voice in Black Library fiction, I keep meaning to finish the Dark Coil stories.
Currently on The Beast Arises Volume 1. My first 40k book since finishing the Horus Heresy a year ago.
