The Passage by Justin Cronin has become pretty interesting. I am around 60% done, which is about 500 or so pages. Just focusing on that for now.
Was also reading Your Money Or Your Life: 9 Steps to Transforming Your Relationship with Money and Achieving Financial Independence by Vicki Robin, but it’s on pause for till I finish The Passage.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
The Sandman adaptations/audiobooks by Gaiman. Fizzling a bit on the later books, first was solid.
Currently reading: Planetside by Michael Mammy. I’m only 17% of the way in but it seems to be a sci-fi set military mystery. It’s readable enough so far, but we’ll see how I feel when it hits the mystery
Will Save the Galaxy for Food by Yahtzee Crowshaw (the Zero Punctuation/Fully Ramblomatic guy). This series rocks. He absolutely scratches the same itch as Douglas Adams did. Funny, Irreverent, and specifically I love that both will spend a whole page explaining a concept for the payoff to be a third of a sentence joke
Just Finished: Starter Villain by John Scalzi. Like a lot of other Scalzi work, it’s funny, doesn’t belabor the stuff you don’t care about, and isn’t fishing for a trilogy. A great vacation read
I think someone mentioned “Will Save the Galaxy for Food” before, but even if didn’t, any comparison to Douglas Adams immediately puts that book in my wishlist. Going to check it out.
John Scalzi, as I may have mentioned before, is a weird writer for me. I have been following him on different social media for many many years, but I have never read any of his books. I should rectify this soon. Thinking about ordering his Old Man’s War series soon.
The Jacques Mckeown books have been very entertaining so far. I’m irritated that Audible is paying him to make them timed audio exclusives, but what can you do? Douglas Adams was my favorite author so I don’t use the comparison lightly. Slight complaint, Yahtzee loves the word nacelle
A personal Scalzi recommendation would be Kaiju Preservation Society. It’s short, shows his humor pretty well, and should give you an idea if you want to start his books. Personally I didn’t find Old Man’s War to be his best work
The Desert Spear, book 2 in the Warded Man series.
Finished The Stars, Like Dust by Isaac Asimov yesterday. The book is from 1951 and it feels like it - which I love.
I haven’t read that one. According to wikipedia, Asimov called it his worst novel, what do you think?
Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind. Its book two of the Sword of Truth series. And so far just as engaging as the first.
