The Last Juror by John Grisham
im reading slobberknocker by jim ross. very interesting behind the scenes of the wrestling business
Just finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It made me go hug my partner very tightly.
The Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. Great story, easy reading, relatable characters, and soon to be made into a series. There are 7 books so far, but rumors say there might be up to 10 eventually.
Finally got around to the Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan and it’s more relevant than ever. It absolutely predicted the world we’re in politically now and has some insight and analysis as to how and why and what to do to help. Definitely worth a read or reread if you haven’t read it or it’s been a while.
I own this book. I’ve read it three times now. I think I will read it a fourth.
I’m currently reading Anthony Beevors ‘D-Day’… But I’m also in Normandy, so I just read that book whilst sitting on Omaha Beach, which is pretty special.
I’m reading Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series. They fit modern fantasy into a British police procedural framework. What makes them exceptional are the characterizations, plus the wit and snark of the dialog. They are both good stories and a lot of fun to read.
Rereading Berserk Manga(it’s a book😤)
The Wild Robot Protects
Not quite as good as The Wild Robot and The Wild Robot Escapes, but the entire series is an excellent set of children’s novels.
Kangaroo apocrypts.
Yes. They are fun. BUY THE KANGAROOS! JOIN THE A-SOCIAL NETWORK! Spread the Jo-jos!
Moon of the Crusted Snow and the sequel Moon of the Turning Leaves. Post apocalyptic novel following an Anisinaabe community. Well written and captivating stories.
For the past, idk, one or two decades I have only read books very sparingly and if I did, it was fantasy. Right now I am devouring The Expanse books and having a great time. I watched the tv series first (awesome) but was somewhat bummed by the ending.
I read primary scientific literature for work. If I am reading for leisure, fantasy is the absolute best. I can’t waste my time reading nonfiction.
Love those books. Extremely easy to read and reread and set the standard for modern hard sci fi.
I just finished Oryx and Crake the first of a trilogy by Margaret Atwood, I quite enjoyed it. It’s a short of dystopian sci-fi. I was put off by her at first because I was forced to read her in high school but I’m glad I gave her another chance.
I’m starting Les Misérables in French in the hopes of improving my written French.
Also working my way through Weapons of the weak which is about forms of peasant resistance.
“Seeing like a state”. It could be half the length without losing anything, but it’s a very interesting perspective on states and central planning that I haven’t thought about before and am enjoying.
I’m reading the Percy Jackson books with my kid right now and I have to say, they’re very well written. For kid/teen literature, i’d say there’s a lot to like in the series, fun dialogue, characters with a lot of personality a fascinating and magical, yet recognizable fantasy world. I’m certainly enjoying it much more than I did the Harry Potter series.
Also the percy Jackson TV series is great too. The movies are hot trash though, wouldn’t recommend them.
