Ok, whats everyone reading now, and how are you liking it, would you recommend it?
I am re-reading Stephen Kings' "The Stand", I read it years ago as a young teen, and it went over my head, so I thought I'd give it another shot, now that Im older and wiser(?). Wish Me Luck! S.

I seem to be drawn to obscure old books none of my friends have ever heard of. One of them (a rereading) is a compilation of short stories and essays called "Fantasia Mathematica," compiled by Clifton Fadiman, a brilliant author. Really worth a read! Reply #1522. Oct 28 23, 8:42 PM |

Just finished book #5 of the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries by Elly Griffiths. This is one of the rare series which I loved from the very start. Sometimes it takes me a book or two to really get to know the characters, etc., but not this one. As soon as I finished the first one I could hardly wait to begin the second. Each one seems better than the one before so I'm wondering how much longer can they continue to get 'better'? They need to be read in order for character continuity. Reply #1526. Dec 10 23, 5:03 PM |

After reading this thread, I now have to extend my list of books to read which will probs take years to complete ;D Right now, I'm rereading all 17 books of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series as a marathon . Can't get enough of Harry Dresden's pithy wise-*ss axioms such as "Insecurities, thy name is teenager" or "where they treat me like royalty--Burger King". Planning to go on a different marathon each month, next month's Tolkien. Will have to see if I followed through, or whether the plan followed me through.... Reply #1527. Feb 07 24, 9:45 AM |

Good luck with your plan, BookwromArgh, and keep us updated. I've read several of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, maybe five or six - just checked and I read the first five, then my local library was missing several of them. Meanwhile I got caught up in other series. I also enjoyed Harry. One of the things I especially liked about him was his concern for others. Reply #1529. Apr 07 24, 4:50 PM |

I found Jane Austen Variations some 40 years ago after devouring all of her books in no time at all. There are a couple of FB groups where many of the authors chat with us and even give us freebies of their books or $.99 Kindle deals. I have my favorite authors, but haven't really read anything by a bad one yet. I was really surprised to find how many people love variations and sequels to Miss Austen's novels. I've always loved the classics, but she is my favorite, hands down, and I mourn the fact that she only has six completed novels since she died at the ridiculously young age of 41. We should have been able to enjoy at least double that amount, darn it! Reply #1530. Apr 13 24, 9:25 AM |
