Another busy week without much reading done. Just my daily chapters of different web novels.
What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

Just finished “There Is No Anti-memetics Division” by QNTM, and heading to the library now to pick up the second book in the “Old Man’s War” series by John Scalzi. Loved TINAMD, btw. Very creepy, lots of existential dread. Quick read, too - only like 270 pages.
TINAMD has been on my “maybe to read pile”, can you sell it a bit more?
There’s an organization that deals with weird, anomalous stuff in the world; their antimemetics division specifically studies things that make you forget information. Part of their mandate is figuring out how to protect against world-ending phenomena that can’t be remembered… like the one creeping up on them right now.
If you like SCP or the game Control, this is liable to be your jam.
Anything along the lines of Control makes it the next on the to read list. Thanks
The book began life as a series of stories set in the world of the SCP Foundation. If you’re a fan of that kind of cosmic mystery/horror it’s a must-read.
Well - it’s inspired by the SCP Foundation wiki. The guy who wrote it was a prolific poster to that. Some of what’s in the book was actually posted by him in serialized format there; in fact, there’s even a video series covering some of the stories:

If the videos seem like your cup of tea, you should give the book a read.
To my mind the best part is going in blind, cause the ideas are what makes it. To me the first half/three quarters are excellent, then it was just OK.
