What do you get when you combine the last two books you read?

An autistic wallflower becomes the latest in a line of clones for the god-emperor. Long philosophical rambling ensues as the wallflower continues to just let bad shit happen to him without ever just walking away or speaking up.

Aslan flying an X wing

Lovecraftian cosmic horror and newborn baby book.

Uhhhhh, I don't want those to join.

Too late! Poonami incoming! 😫

I can't read unless it's completely quiet so I seldom even attempt to read a book. Mostly, I'll read RSS and other short articles.

The last book was "Extreme Privacy: Mobile Devices" by Michael Bazzell which I read in 2024.

Before that was "The Passive Solar Energy Book" by Edward Mazria. Maybe 20 years ago.

Combined = a very private, off-grid, homestead.

Everything All at Once by Bill Nye

+.

The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton

=

Bill Nye must solve a series of mysterious crimes including theft, witch hunts, and murder on a 17th century East Indiaman ship. I'd read the heck out of that.

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis and Building a non anxious life by Dr. John Delony. The former being fiction and the latter being non fiction. To nobody's surprise, they do not play well together.

1984 and Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass

I guess woke and mad?

Last 2 books are Journey to the west and Seveneves

Either Wukong is going to space or the iss is taking a trip to the west

A thicker book, I just read part one and two of one story ("Human Phoenix" and "Human Man").

Isles of the Emberdark by Brandon Sanderson and The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu

Actually... actually I don't think you'd have too hard of a time combining those two. A wildman from ancient China discovers outer space and aliens?

Very citrusy Sichuanese food.

People remember the last two books they read from the top of their head?

Many Americans read so little that they probably don't.
To many it would probably be Curious George or the alphabet.
- Well, that's kinda sad. I read quite a bit though. some months I'll read 5 books, other months only 1. I suppose that's already quite a lot.
  I think the problem with not remembering might be something personal, my memory tends te be very selective.
I read a chapter a day
If they were recent, yeah.
- For some reason I'm unable to do so, but I could have a look at what books I recently read and have a okish recollection of their contents. Maybe my memory is just bad.

1940s lesbian mystic sells her soul for love and helps Arthur become king while searching for Merlin?

Larian Studios presents their latest CRPG masterpiece

The last two books i've read are my Aerodynamics book for an exam. And Harry Potter and the philosopher stone to help my sibling make a review for English class.

Sooo... Potter will see how his magic fares against a rocket.

The map of your face?🤔

Its been a few months since i read anything lmao but i read the map of salt and stars and the beauty of your face last, tried to read the other zeyn joukhadars book abt being arab and a queer but it was just too much for me😅 i am not smart enough to read that lol

Something Wicked Silencing The Lambs

Do textbooks count? Last two books I touched were Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design and the ASQ Lean 6 Sigma Yellow Belt Handbook. I guess I end up with another reference book about designing parts with process optimization in mind? Actually, now that I say that, that's pretty much just a DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) book.

Archeological evidence explaining Tezcatlipoca and two multi million year old robot space skeletons acting like bickering old men.

Well, if we're allowing the textbook that I'm going through chapter by chapter weekly in college, Legoshi of Beastars fame would probably be learning HTML and CSS so he can properly design a website. Don't know why, but that sounds kinda funny.

Textbooks not included, it'd be a weird mix of Bakuman ( a story about a couple of kids ( starting off near the end of 8th grade ) who wanna become mangaka ) and the world of Beastars, where anthros roam the streets. I wanna say at some point it was confirmed that humans do exist in the Beastars universe but are basically super rare or something like that, so it's not completely out of the question.

The Hundred Acre Wood somehow devolves into a patriarchal dystopia

Uhhh the history of how Labour introduced neoliberal anarchy to Australia and then made it queer???

Star Thrones: A Feast for the Last Command

The Kangaroo Chronicles

That's an actual book no? A German political satire if I remember correctly.
- Yes :3

WWII + Vietnam War = Super mega war??

"Jo March becomes god, Massachusetts is consumed by horrors beyond human comprehension, and everyone dies"

Bakker's Second Apocalypse to Little Women was a pretty jarring transition already..

Honestly they work well together. I get a story about American natives being stolen from a life of relative freedom to serve as chattel slaves for colonizers. Which of course, is what actually happened. My books are "Twelve Years a Slave" and "The Conquest of New Spain"

Tress of the Emerald Sea goes to RandLand to help the Dragon Reborn save the world?

Oh crap...

Dungeon Crawler Carl "The Inevitable Ruin" Book 7

"Fellowship of the Ring" Lord of the Rings Book 1

Frodo and Donut are fighting their way through Moria to throw Cascadia into Mt Doom... Oh and Frodo is wearing boxers with a heart print.

God Dammit Donut!

Emotional intelligence is now an SCP cognito hazard?

Emotional Intelligence and There is No Antimemetics Division

Earth's Children book 2, and Earth's Children book 3. A marriage of nightmares

Whatever unholy abomination that would be created if you were to combine C with Tcl.

Wyrd Pyramid Sisters, by Terry Pratchett

A reminder of how little I read books?

The last two books I think I've read that I can think of are The Martian (partially) and Max, the Bad-Talking Parrot (kids book read to my niece).

So, the story of Braaaaak! Watney being abducted from home, ending up on Mars, and getting back to Earth by using science to survive and cleverly communicating his status and the presence of the burglar to Earth.

The Armored Saint and Hellbound Hearts...

It's going to be bloody.

Children of Ruin Memory
