Next: Not sure, large backlog. Maybe Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
>> No. 415

if you're looking for phillip k. dick, a scanner darkly is, imho, his best, better than electric sheep and better than three stigmata

of course, man in the high castle is probably his most critically acclaimed work

I'll bite, but I'm afraid for me it's more like a graph than a list.

I should, perhaps, explain. I have started all of these and read at least a couple chapters of each. I pick one every night and read more, so they all progress but at uneven rates. I have omitted from the list some books which I began reading but do not plan to read regularly. Yes, I am really reading all of these 'currently'!

I tend to read 5-10 books concurrently, so my "next" list is kind of a big target, as is my "current" list. I include multiple "last read" because I finished them all rather together, although WoT #9 was on Friday and so deserves the true "last" moniker.
>> No. 419
>>418

damn how do you process all those fully

then again, fantasy as a genre isnt about the slow burn of a deep motif
