I'm only reading it because my English class is making us do a book project and my school library didn't have anything interesting to me (I'm really not into books) but I wanted to look more into The Elder Scrolls lore, so I picked up The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City by Greg Keyes. It's pretty interesting so far. Not anything that's completely blown me away but it's definitely a very good read if you just want to get more immersed in the universe of The Elder Scrolls like I did.

This is a sad, but all too common, commentary on the modern world.

I guess? I've just never really cared, though I haven't read many books either. Maybe I just haven't read the right ones? I did enjoy reading The Great Gatsby a few years ago for school. I thought the details and stuff were awesome and it wasn't super corny and cliché like the other books they usually make us read.
Of course less people are reading these days, but I don't really see it as a negative. Maybe I'm just biased because I'm young and wasn't around when reading was more of a popular thing.

This one is long and dense but worth it.

One of the greatest books I have ever read. I recommended it here a couple of years ago.

Currently I just finished re-reading "Darwin's Radio" by Greg Bear (and the sequel "Darwin's Children") and they are just as good as they were 20 years ago.
