What Are You Reading?

[The Nameless]

Started from a Buick 8, and if I feel like a bit of factual reading I have the wonders of the solar system. If you've never seen the BBC documentary series you should look for it. Professor Brian Cox is like Stephen hawking - his passion for science shows through and he explains things in ways that make learning a joy.

I am starting "the Burning Court". Another John Dickson Carr. The good old mysteries like Christie, Carr and Sayers can be read many times. I have practically everything these three have written in my shelfes. All of them have written some clunkers but their best is still among the best today imo.

Re-read my awesome Dark Horse hardback of The Barry Windsor-Smith Archives vol. II: Conan! Featuring the last dozen or so issues of Conan the Barbarian Barry did for Marvel, ending with the incredible adaption of Red Nails he and Roy Thomas did for Savage Tales--which may just be the finest comic art Marvel ever published. Wanna see a sample? You know you do:

His work on Uncanny X-Men used to be my favourite in the series in the 80's...

I just finished Under The Dome, loved the book. Totally forgot what actually caused the dome to appear. Tonight i'll start 11/22/63. one of my favourite King books.

Finished You by Caroline Kepnes, my goodness, found it hard to learn a woman wrote this, language and such; her head character runs an independent book store and she allotted three pages of compliments of Mr. King's release of Dr. Sleep! Will start Hidden Bodies by Kepnes this afternoon as I have to take my hundred page break from Redemption Road by John Hart. This is a humdinger, fast paced, great characters and lots of mystery gotta read! I also finished If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty by Eric Metaxes, recommend this small book if you want to learn more about the foundation America was created upon.

I'm quite familiar with John Hart and his auspicious literary premiere but I haven't read one of his books. Another writer that I'd like to try is Michael Koryta; I'd often see his books while filing away King, Kingsolver, Kinsella, and Koontz.

Three weeks ago, i'm done reading the book 3 of the secret series by Pseudonymous Bosch and now, i'm on the book 4 : This isn't what it looks like

I'd say it was a good book and damn, you cannot read book 4 without reading book 3. Unlike the book 1 and 2. Book 3 and 4 will never work as a standlalone because 3 and 4 are botn connected to each other.

I have read all Hart's books and they were all good, especially The Last Child.

I have read all Hart's books and they were all good, especially The Last Child.

If I ever whittle down my TBR pile I hope to read Mo Hayder and John Hart. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

[80sFan]

Rereading some Jennifer Weiner books (currently on Who Do You Love). I have too much on my mind to focus on any more complex stories right now.

I just now finished The Girl On The Train. Wow. Definitely a good read. Lots of twisty turns though out and I like that in a book. I have to say though that the last chapter doesn't read like it was written by the same author- it almost has a King feel to it, dare I say? I will be recommending this one to others.

I liked it too, Dan. May I recommend I Let You Go via recommendation from 80sFan? Nice and twisty.

Finished The Burning Court. Also finished The Problem of The Wirecage, another John Dickson Carr, my fifth in a row.

PS. Started Hidden Bodies and after I read page two I decided I will be taking it back to the library unread. No need to waste my time with more of the same.

try So Cold The River, great creepy book...

Thanks for the heads up, will pick it up when I return my last bunch.

Just finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. Very cool story, and one hell of a ride. I could have easily read it in one sitting, if I had had the opportunity to do so. Big scientific ideas formed the backbone of the novel, but it never felt overly science-y or bogged down. It's a very fast paced novel--perhaps even a bit too fast--but it all builds to an exciting climax. It's ready made for the Hollywood treatment. I highly recommend this one.

 

[KJ Norrbotten]

Justin Cronin's The City of Mirrors. This is one of those books, you just won't finish in a night or two. At least I find it that way. But I think I like this final part of the series, certainly more readable than the second book.

 

[AchtungBaby]

Animosity, by James Newman. Great read so far. Indie horror. Check it out.
