I just finished Ready Player One, it was a great read, super interesting story, If you like the 80s and Arcade Games it's a must read.

Ready Player One is a super fun read and they are making it into a movie too!

I just finished reading Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. It is the third book in the Stormlight Archive series. It was a fantastic read and the entire series is totally epic. Sanderson has many different trilogies, novels, and short stories in a universe he calls The Cosmere. If you like fantasy and haven't read any Sanderson, you should definitely check his stuff out!

I'm currently reading "The four hour chef" by Tim Ferris. It's amazingly interesting, as it doesn't only cover cooking but also language learning and other skills. Great book!
