    Or recently read.

    For me it's good ol' Edgar Po and his short stories.
    Also reading this russian writer called John Gold(not his real name obviously). He anonymously posts his work. The genre is LITrpg - somewhat similar to Sword Art Online jf you may. The book features a young boy from an orphanage in the future, getting access to a virtual
    reality game called Chrysalide. I'd love to spoil his adventures,
    but I'm better than that. There's love, pain, suffering, betrayal - everything you see in your life, but there are also some interesting thoughts andinteresting perspectives in what the future might be for us, and some questions to our social behaviour.

    I'm trying to read Neuromancer, but it is a pain in the ass and I'm far too addicted to EVE atm to read much anyway ...

    wer ya bin

    Reading 4th GoT now, I read the book before the new season comes out every time, that way I don't know everything yet but still read book before watching the series. Good fun so far.

    I recently reread the existing entries in the Gentleman Bastards Sequence. A name that I'm sure the forums censored.

    Lies of Locke Lamora
    Red Seas under Red Skies
    Republic of Thieves

    EDIT: Not censored, that's somewhat surprising

    I wish I had read any of the really pompous books I read somewhat recently so I could brag, but I can't

    I can neither brag with the Silmarillion nor with Anna Karenina nor with The Book of Lost Tales

    Neither with the Witcher series nor with the Guardian series

    Not even with Lord of the Rings in two languages, and neither with "End this Depression now"

    Not with Jon Krakauers Book, and not with Patrick Rothfuss

    And, what might irk me especially, not with Liselotte Welskopf-Henrich

    Bragging with Thomas Mann is not an option, and Franz Kafka also is too far back

    Man, I really can't brag at all :(

    i don't get what you'd be bragging about

    "i read books that some other people enjoy but some other people do not. praise me"

    ???

    Why start with the most recent book? That'd be unfortunate. Honestly it's the worst of the three, I strongly recommend reading the first one it is by far the best in my opinion.

    My incredible elitism and mind-boggling knowledge, perhaps

    Or just that I read a lot, no idea

    if your own knowledge boggles your mind, you're probably doing it wrong

    To be fair dagda, I often recall things I don't remember remembering, and it can be exciting at times.
