I have made the executive decision to drop all but four of the books on my currently reading list, not because I don’t plan to read them, but because I need to finish these ones first before I can move on to the other ones. Specifically, I need to finish The Fourth Turning, which may be the most important book I read this year. I’m doing a really deep dive on it, underlining and making notes, which is why it’s been taking so long to finish it. But I think the end result will be worth it.
The other books I’m keeping on the list are The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, Endowed with Power by C. Robert Line, and Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson. But of those three, the only one that I’m really actively reading right now is Gardens of the Moon. I’m about 60% done with The Way of Kings, and Kaladan’s story is such a downer that I need to put it on the back burner for a while. As for Endowed with Power, that book is more for Sunday reading, so I guess I’m still actively reading it, but only on Sundays.
