Does anyone regularly read nonfiction? It's not my usual go-to, but this year, I've read Atomic Habits by James Clear, Save the Cat Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody, and @garethlpowell's About Writing.

@Turning_Pages7 Usually I like middling books with 300-500 pages, but occasionally I pick up a longer one like I recently read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.

Forgot I finished Animal Farm by George Orwell earlier in the week. It was definitely entertaining in a comic but dark way at the same time. It read like tongue-in-cheek 1984. It was interesting how some of the themes and power dynamics in the story are still so relevant today. https://t.co/SntP4JW6Ao

@BenFromEtcha I've so far read as far as Chapterhouse Dune. It gets dense, for sure, but still worth reading, I thought. I also read the Legends of Dune prequels by Brian Herbert, which were interesting backstory.

Already finished reading my second book of 2023, Rosewater Redemption by Tade Thompson. Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this series and though the world/character building was a lot in the first book, once I got my head around it, the second two I couldn't put down. https://t.co/baPmODiOUF

Scientists ran an actual climate model of Arrakis, and Frank Herbert actually got it mostly right. #Dune #DuneMovie https://t.co/XBDWaY2dxT
