Ask HN: What Are You Reading?

Designing data intensive applications

reading Blood Meridian now, honestly it just flows for me.

The retreat in the book is evocative and really left an impression.

War and peace - third attempt

The Recorded Books recordings of The Road and No Country for Old Men narrated by Tom Stechschulte are very good too.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I have just finished Susanna Clarke's Piranesi - which was so wonderfully described

Borges' Library of Babel got me started

The Recorded Books recordings of The Road and No Country for Old Men narrated by Tom Stechschulte are very good too.

Would recommend!

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre (1923)

haven't got past the first chapter of that book.

listening to an audiobook - Mythos by Stephen Fry. Liking it so far.

Non-Fiction: The Spy and the Traitor by Ben MacIntyre. It's about the KGB spy-turned-MI6 agent Oleg Gordievsky and reads like a thriller.

Simmons, Dan. The Terror I'm about 50 pages in, and am entranced with the prose.
