[daydreamer206]

In a complete reversal I’m considering DNF of Katabasis…

welp, that really took a turn

(but I stand by my Babel rec)

 

[F3x0r]

A classic,The old man and the sea, after The diving bell and the butterfly and this, I'm going to need something light I think.

I'm (ambitiously) attempting to read the Wheel of Time series... there are 14 books total (not counting companion/prequels)

I read most of those when they were coming out, then there was like ten plus years before the next one came out. I’d forgotten enough that I would have to start at the beginning and just… couldn’t. Couldn’t get into them again so you’ll have to let me know how it ends!

I'm currently on Book 4... it really is an effort.
Robert Jordan was definitely from the same school of writing that George R.R. Martin was from: pages and pages of unnecessary detail.

They are the novelist equivalents of "It could have been an email"

Still one of my favorite authors. I will and it book 5 wasn’t that good

I found the series right when book 2 was first published. I was at the book store the day every other book came out!

In keeping with the sci-fi genre, any fans of Dan Simmon’s Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion?

 

[barefootgirl69]

The First Witch of Boston by Andrea Catalano

 

[Scareltt]

A classic,The old man and the sea, after The diving bell and the butterfly and this, I'm going to need something light I think.

If you’re looking for something light give Tell Me Everything by Amy Hatvany a chance.. I enjoyed it, but it’s a cautionary tale.

 

[OralDave]

The House in Paris, by Elizabeth Bowen

 

[Scareltt]

A coworker just watched the movie, said it was an amazing story!

I read the YA version with my daughter. We both enjoyed it.

I've read Hyperion but not the second book. It was a great book but a little dense and hard to read for me, but I think Simmon had some very neat ideas that could turn out to be pretty prescient, especially around AI.

 

[barefootgirl69]

The Last Thing She Ever Did by Gregg Olsen

 

[barefootgirl69]

Almost finished with The Girl in the Picture by Melissa Weisner.

 

[Scareltt]

A City On Mars by Kelly Weinersmith and her husband..

Also a cautionary tale.. but interesting and funny!

 

[GraiceeGirl]

The Meaning of You - Jay Hogan

 

[barefootgirl69]

The Murder Within by Darren Galsworthy.

It's about his daughter being murdered by his step-son. Gut wrenching.

Stieg larsson

The Girl Who Played with Fire

Great trilogy. The books that came after, less good
