Ask HN: What are you reading these days?

Designing Data Intensive Applications is really good, because it gives you an good overview of data systems. I had the feeling I don't have to understand all the details yet I would learn a lot.

Seveneves was really good. Almost feeling the urge to read it again!

"A song of ice and fire" saga

Children of Time is a really good novel.

Stormlight is significantly easier to read than Malazan

seems like I might drop the idea of reading it for reason you too highlighted.

KKC would be on the list if not for the author's attitude towards the 3rd book

- "Superintelligence", by Nick Bostrom

it's lovely. Her writing has got even better since she wrote Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, and it's a really, really solid novel.

The Culture series by Iain M. Banks.

There is a reason Malazan is often brought up when discussing the greatest fantasy series of all time.

Malazan is really a narrative tour-de-force with an extremely satisfying way of bringing a number of storylines together and to conclusion in each book.

Malazan is amazing, possibly the best fantasy series I've ever read after Stormlight Archives

I feel "the Coddling" does a good job for some aspects of it.

and Watchmen (I despair I hadn't gotten around to it sooner).
