Care to share the title, author, and short synopsis of your current read? Would you recommend it to others?

I'm reading DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larsen. It's about the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the serial killer who preys upon unsuspecting visitors.

It's really well written. It isn't solely about H.H. Holms (the serial killer) but also about the men (and women) who helped design the fair, and an unrelated murder.

I would recommend this book to anyone who like history, especially American history. It's also a great True Crime novel for those who enjoy that genre.

I am about halfway through the book. Will post more as I read more.
 
Red Sparrow.

Cold War styled spy novel by ex CIA officer set in modern Russia.
 
 
RED DRAGON by Thomas Harris

The first of the Hannibal Lecter series.

The back cover of my first edition jacketed hardcover of Thomas Harris's Red Dragon on unmarked page 349 which is the 352 page of the book not counting the hardcover of an actually 355 page book (359 w/cover not counting the jacket, which is 2, but 1 thing) has the following quotation:

"And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit."
-Ecclesiastes

It's Sunday.

The book opens with the following quote on page 9 (w/o 2 for the cover and 2 or 1&1/2 for jacket) and un-numbered page 7:

"One can only see what one observes, and one observes only things which are already in his mind."
-Alphonse Bertillon

Am I to find that coincidental?

Manhunter came first. I'm not sure it might have been one of those direct-to-video movies.. Starring the guy from CSI. Then came Hannibal which was based on the second book I believe. Hannibal was so successful they did a prequel which was red dragon. The two screenplays are nothing like each other they both borrowed from the book in completely different ways. Red dragon borrows liberally from the screenplay from Hannibal making it even less like the book the book is quite good.

Manhunter is more about the guy chasing red dragon then red dragon itself.

Manhunter was about Will Graham, as was the Red Dragon, the book. It's written from Graham's perspective. The movie Red Dragon is.... Well, more about him (Hannibal). Silence of the Lambs , book 2, was transformed into a movie first, then Red Dragon (book 1, Hopkins Movie 2), and then finally: Hannibal (book 3, Hopkins Movie 3). There's a prequel to all of these with a younger Hannibal, Hannibal Rising, made way, way later. But I think it was a MAJOR flop.

Very true on Hannibal. They made the Hopkins character into some sort of a "super hero". Much like they did for Jason, in the Friday the 13th movies sequels.
 
^I liked the books better, as is my experience with most from-book-to-movie adaptations. Although the best adaptation of the Hannibal series, I think, is the tv series. Deviates on most accounts, but makes Hannibal's character believable; less manic and more deliberate.
 
The Martian by Andy Weir which is about a guy that gets accidentally left behind on a manned mission to Mars.

and

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline which is about MMO's and 80's pop culture (before my time but still fun to read).
