There’s a thread about how people find new books, and one of my favorite ways to find things to read was browsing comments from the weekly ‘What are you reading’ threads in r/truelit and r/books. So what is Lemmy reading?

I’m finishing The Passenger, and about to jump into John Williams’ Stoner. Excited to see what is next!

    I’m reading The Bible for Dummies now lol. I wasn’t raised religiously, but I do find it important to have knowledge about other people’s beliefs. It analyses the bible, but before that it gives you a very good idea of the origin of Christianity and how it’s linked to other Abrahamistic religions. Would recommend if you’re interested in learning about religion.

      That sounds really interesting! I’m currently reading a book in the same vein called Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart D. Ehrman. As a formerly religious person it’s giving me some really interesting insight into how the bible was written, and how changes occurred and what motivated them.
