Whatcha Reading /chat/?

I've been looking through this, off and on, kind of skipping around. It's a 'guidebook', so I think that's allowed. Pretty cool stuff. Mostly it feels like it's just Winglets again, but that's also a welcome influx.
And in the between you get nice worldbuilding details, albeit mostly stuff already known or a little surface level.

The Necronomicon

Currently I am alternating between the Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear and Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf light novels.

Why are Japanese people obsessed with elves?

I mean elves can be great. I've been starting to go all aboard the elf train myself after reconnecting with the Night Elves in WC3, but why is the Elf a creature that the Japanese are so obsessed with?

Speaking of Night Elves, it's pretty refreshing to a see a race of Tree Elves that actually have their own unique flavor to the whole "We used to be immortal druids, but now we're not" themes. They actually pull it off well without coming off as fags. The dryads are also really cool. The walking tree building people is also really fun to watch. I think WoW put a bad taste in my mouth when it came to night elves because everything felt too "LOTR pretty elves with no real struggles"

Never bothered with the Quran, but I will always say that the Old Testiment is worth reading if for nothing else than the stories being genuinely entertaining.
Jonah is still one of my absolute favorites.
Guy is an insanely charismatic figure, but doesn't know it. And his attitudes are likewise amazing.
Man decided to be spiteful to God at the end of it.
To the point God set out a lawnchair, and said "Aight, wait here all day, see if I care".
And then waited so long God got fed up with it, and pulled said chair out from under him, and he STILL sat there.

Absolute legend, that man.

Honestly, I just don't have time for books these days.
Part of what made me enjoy this Guidebook thing. I could pick it up and read segments at will.
But it's been a nightmare setting aside some time to just sit and relax with a good novel.
Best i get right now is short fanfictions on my phone at work.

But, all this said, I am certainly not opposed to any interesting recommendations.
Alas, I can't really share any good dragonbooks, since frankly, there are none.
Wings of Fire isn't good. It's kind of a trashy children's/YA series, and the only reason I got in to it as much as I did is because it's one of if not the only fictional series I've come across where it is explicitly a dragon's world.
Most at the very least have humans as an equal power, if not the main focal point or plot drivers.
Alas, such is life for a scaly. Pain all the way through.

I've not done any reading lately though I was thinking about either reading some more H. P. Lovecraft or 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas.

Have you listened to some of the audio stuff on youtube? A few of those videos even come with a slide show of comic book art. (Or lovecraft art related to the story.) It's pretty neat, and the way my brain works, it can be a little easier piecing together some of those long words through context alone. (Sometimes reading is easier, but other times it's nice to have the audio.) I just listened to Dagon. Good stuff.

Not really to be honest. I usually read the regular old books. I got a big one with every bit Lovecraft has written, but I'm barely half way through.

Dagon was okay, but I expected more really. The last story I read was The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

I like to read similar books like pic related. Doing deauthentication attacks on my own devices was the most fun I've had with Linux when I first started.

I thought it was very theatrical. I also really liked the Rats in the Walls, and The Thing on the Doorstep.

I haven't read the Dream Quest. I'm gonna take a guess and say it has to do with the Dreamlands, which is a bizarre place in of itself.

I read the Fall of Cthulhu comic back like 12 years ago, and it takes place in the dreamlands quite often.

Rats in the Walls was pretty good. I haven't read the Thing on the Doorstep yet.

Generally I like his short stories; they are often just... well, too short. I think they are a great foundation to build upon though.

Dream-Quest is pretty much the big adventure in and detailed description of the Dreamlands. He mentioned and established them much earlier though in other works.

Fuck yeah, that sounds like a good read. Also the Thing on the Doorstep is essentially about a wizard who becomes something sort of like a spirit lich. I really recommend that one because the ending was really satisfying. It was ominous and foreboding, but a nice ending for the story.

Last light novel I belive I've read was Vainqueur the Dragon.
Pretty great series, honestly.

I do also have this guy I still need to read. It's a manga, though, so a mite different

Sounds good, I'll be getting to it eventually. Dunwich Horror is also supposed to be good. Alas, it has to wait. The stories in my book are in the order he has written them.

Elves are just the in-thing this year I suppose.

It's probably D&D's fault though.

I've got about a dozen manga I picking away at presently. Notable titles include: Killing Bites, High Rise Invasion, Dungeon Meshi and The Hero Took Everything From Me, So I Partied With The Hero’s Mother!
I like to tackle a chapter or three whenever I have some free time.

Which compilation do you own? What's the title called?

I own the Necronomicon.

I should really start up another online campaign when I get the chance.

I thought about getting a fancy version of the Necronomicon too, but they are a bit too expensive for my taste.

The compilation is simply called "The Complete Tales of H. P. Lovcraft".
