I just finished the 18th book in the Dresden Files series which came out a couple of weeks ago. It was kind of different from the previous books. It didn't have a main story line with a few side plots. It was more about how the main character is recovering from everything that happened in the previous book over the course of a year. It was almost like a collection of short stories as the main character slowly recovers.

12 months wasn’t originally scheduled either; was supposed to go right into the final trilogy but he didn’t like the handwaving away of the trauma after he had had a bad couple years.

Agree it was really different and had some odd pacing but I liked the concept more then I thought

I'm glad he didn't just move on from the death of a character that was in the previous 17 books. As a fan, I was grieving too!

Working through Atlas Shrugged.

How is it? I'm apprehensive to read Ayn Rand because of the current popularity among a certain type of person.

I’m reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, just finished the first book. Anyone else read those?

I’m on book 8. Love them.

I'm currently working through, "Is a River Alive?" by Robert MacFarlane. 2025. The premise is that natural resources like rivers should have legal status. Interesting.

I have a bunch of books on my shelf I'd like to get to this year, like hundreds actually, but Lonesome Dove, Endurance, Shadow of the Gods, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter and Red Rising to name a few.

Red Rising is on my list.

 

[Beerbrat]

Red Rising is on my list.

The first Red Rising book is really good but may be the worst of the first trilogy. The series just kept getting better

I think you should make your own conclusions

I think you should make your own conclusions

Sure but I don't want to waste my time on propaganda. I have so many other books I'm planning to read. I know it's a classic so I'll get there one day. Just trying to decide on it's order of priority.

I am currently reading Gideon’s Corpse by Preston & Child. Very good in many aspects . I have plans for (free download) Moby Dock and Don Quixote. I hope these are as good as the Russian classics.

I should give Moby **** another shot. Read it my late teens and it kicked my ass. I hated it.

For the non-fiction readers, my go to is John McPhee. Love all his stuff. Picks a subject and finds an expert in the field. For the sports fans:

A Sense of Where You Are is about Bill Bradley and his basketball days at Princeton.

Levels of the Game describes the semifinal match of the 1968 US Open between Arthur Ashe and Clark Graebner, alternating between progressing through the match with stories about each player's life and how they came to meet at this match.

Quick reads.

Cold Storage by David Koepp. Screenwriter of Jurassic Park and some Mission Impossible movies. Virus about to get loose thriller.

I'm on my who knows how many times through The Lord of the Rings. I've read at least five times through on Kindle, and have or have had several sets of the books

I’ve read The Lord of the Rings well over twenty times. I usually start in the fall, finish in the spring. Always at a bit of a loss when finished.
