Ocean At The End of The Lane by Neil Gaiman. It's my favorite book ever, I think. So this is a re-read. I'm writing my dissertation right now and I want to explore the reasons why certain books become favorites. I'm gonna use help from https://domypapers.com/dissertations/ to explore existing studies, articles, and books that discuss the emotional and psychological effects of favorite books. Identify any gaps in the literature that your research can fill. I often use their help to save my time and get good grades in writing.

I just started reading Dune. I’ve never read it before but I always wanted to.
Been reading more than I have been in years lately. 
Read Dune and am now reading Dune Messiah. Also am reading the last book in the Infinity Cycle by Adam Silvera, Infinity Kings. Just got done with the second book in the Legendborn Cycle by Tracy Deonn, Bloodmarked. Looking forward to Oathbound, which is coming out next year.
Both series are good and the latter is a modern day version of the myth of King Arthur.

I finished I'm Starting to Worry about this Black Box of Doom by Jason Pargin last night. Overall was pretty good. Kind of a hard book to describe, but the book is incredibly meta. You can tell this author is actually online and has a generalized understanding of the internet. It actually makes me wonder if this book was devised in concept because of the Reddit Boston Bombing situation.
It was interesting seeing this book talk on topics and share points of view that are discussed by the older guard of the internet; those who grew up with the rise and have a (theoretical) maturity about some of the observations to be made about what has changed over the years.
The ending was a little eh, but it served it's purpose. I think it just tied together a little too well provided the situation. But maybe that was the point, and the focus wasn't on the ending in the typical way one would think.
It's a bit of a long book, being almost 400 pages, and while it doesn't read slow, it wasn't a fast read for me either.
The contents of the Black Box of Doom is incredibly predictable in hindsight and at the same time, not at all. Was funny to learn what it was, and even more hilarious that we've all probably had something incredibly similar.

I'm currently diving into The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It's about a library where each book offers a different version of your life, a bit like exploring alternate paths in Geometry Dash. Each choice, each jump, leads to something new. Pretty cool concept, right?
