sci-fi, drugs, buddhism, dark humor, fantasy, everything hi-grade and politically incorrect best possible way!
I will be seeking some of his books out!
I also recommend zlibrary for ebooks and pdfs

Now Reading The Book of The New Sun omnibus by Gene Wolfe.
Its categorized as sci-fi but the first 3 books are solid fantasy. These are classics and a fun fantastical read. Some of the reviews about it on YouTube are down right stupid...too wordy too philosophical the theme of a guild of torturers is too much...I don't think they read the same book I did\am. There are a few scenes of executions and torture but they aren't too explicit or over the top and it's not the main theme. Again not sure what candy land crap these people read before this series but if they cant handle this I don't see how they can even handle Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit.

My TBR stack is mountainous.
Just read one called Rosewater that was really good.
It’s an alien invasion story but told in an unusual way.

I've been catching up on the massive pile of zines I've bought over the pandemic.

Night Science VI, all the TQ zines up to date, Black Panels III, a bunch of art/photo zines and Special Interests 12. Theres a new SI apparently, and also Noise Receptor 10 about to hit the shelves too.
