- muddi900 4y agoThe only Non-fiction book I read through was Fooled by Randomness by Nassem Taleb. I also checked off The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov off my list. I have been on a sci-fi/fantasy kick lately: * The Magicians by Lev Grossman * Binti by Nnedi Okarafor * The Truth of the Divine by Lindsay Ellis Currently working my way through The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. I did read a few essay from Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion, but her work is too much of her time for me to truly appreciate it.
