Here's what I'm reading:
I'm going to stop reading A Dance with Dragons and the two Star Wars books for now and wrap up Empire, Incorporated and Determined while I continue on with Das Kapital.
Bonus question:
What do you PLAN to read later on?
Enjoy!
I have just finished reading this.
As an aside, how do you manage to maintain focus when reading so many books at the same time? I genuinely don't think I could manage more than maybe two at a push.
I have ADHD which means I need constant novelty and different things to focus on.
Never heard of this website and you apparently need an account to enter.
Still... Any good? Better than GoodReads, at least?

I have been using Storygraph for a couple of years now and really like it. Exported my Goodreads data and imported it into Storygraph. There was some cleanup I had to do, as Goodreads was often missing start / end dates for reading history.
What I really like about Storygraph is that it's not bloated the way that Goodreads is. The interface is clean and fairly easy to navigate and it has very few unwanted features. The stats are cool too. https://app.thestorygraph.com/stats/hybridhavoc?year=2024
Same experience and sentiment here. The only thing I'm really missing is an API I can hook into for automation and integration with my home library setup. But it's on the roadmap and (allegedly) being worked on so fingers crossed. I will say that once I imported everything from Goodreads and got setup, I've not gone back.
Awh damn, I didn't do a link check after posting. My bad. It's analogous to Goodreads, though both have their strengths and weaknesses (imo goodreads has a much larger community and better kindle integration, whereas StoryGraph has a much better metadata/stats platform and a more personal community feel - its also not Amazon driven, if that matters to you at all).
But to circle back to your original question since you can't see the link, I'm currently wrapping up Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism. Overall a good read and a great collection/distillation of socio-economic data, if at times a bit repetitive on some points (though it makes sense in context as they all relate).
A personal community feel? I'm guessing it's also one of those communities that center around a small but booming app...
Alright, maybe I'll try it out!
Oh, and I read the "Deaths of Despair" book. Good pick. Yeah, I can see how it's repetitive.
I've just finished reading "Black Swan Green" : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14316
I liked it a lot, it reminded me a lot of "The Catcher in the Rye", in the style of writing and the narration.
I started "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" yesterday, pretty good as of yet: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44279110
