I've put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It's mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I'm going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading.

Here is last months post. What are you Reading? (July 2023)

At any rate, what are you currently reading or plan to read in August?

Happy to talk about Wheel of Time. Did you make it all the way to the end?

I’ve read the whole series twice, once when the last book was finally released and again during the pandemic.

If you’re still on Reddit, there was a great sub for WoT memes

I'll talk about wheel of time all day - somewhere around a dozen rereads its been a comfort staple my whole life man, now my wife is on her 2nd listen through, 3rd book, and I still enjoy the ride every damn time.

What's up with all the boob talk?

Gender and identity are critical components of their works and magical system. So there’s an abundance of such talk, especially as our protagonists move around the world from one culture to the next

Also, the author was a horn dog
