animelover20 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My favorite book of all time would have to be the "History of Love." The writer, Nicole Krauss, style of writing is so intricate and deliberate. All the character stories just draw you in. I am currently reading the "New Jim Crow."

SpazzyMcGee Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Anything by Brandon Sanderson. Cosmere related or otherwise. Currently listening to Oathbringer again. If you have an interest, the original Mistborn trilogy is a good place to start then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Been reading the “Southern Reach Trilogy” by Jeff VanderMeer. Where the movie “Annihilation” came from. Really really good so far. TheGhostOfRandySavage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just finished Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Really loved the world building, probably one of my favorites in the sci fi genre. Trying to make my way through the second book now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Finished the Southern Reach trilogy (Annhilation, Authority, Acceptance) a couple days ago. I really enjoyed it! Just started reading the Doom Patrol colic collections, and I'll be reading Siddhartha along with them shortly. Trying to get myself back reading regularly. Anybody keep track of things they've read on Goodreads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm reading TMNT Urban Legends. It rules. next up: Papergirls. If you've never read Saga it's amazing. It's half done and they're on hiatus right now though. I pretty much only read tpb collections or omnibuses though. Too lazy to collect and store floppies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paper girls tabs have been well priced on eBay recently, Saga has the huge omnibus that covers the entire first half that is out now too. Both solid pickups.

Han Solo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Working through the Epic of Gilgamesh right now. Its really cool to read the world's oldest piece of literature and have it still have meaning and application to modern times. Previous to that, I read The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston, The Orestia by Aeschylus, and Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. You guys should download the Goodreads app if you don't have it already! It makes it so easy to keep track of what you've read and what you want to read. I've got really good recommendations through it as well, and you can add your friends to see what they're reading. Basically Discogs but for books.

I used to keep track years ago using Goodread's via the website. Lately I've been reading books on music. Read In Defense of Ska not too long ago, and now I'm reading Hell of a Hat. Interesting perspective's on the ska scene in both. Also picked up Dave Grohl's book but I've been holding off on starting that one.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I just ordered a bunch of new books hoping it will make me start reading more than comics again. Got some decent use book deals on ebay. Picked up The Road, Blood Meridian, No Country For Old Men, Chronicle of a Death Fortold, Love in the Time of Cholera, The Silmarillion, The Virgin Suicides, and The Ocean at the En of the Lane. Ran me under $25 shipped, which was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His books are also usually a very quick read for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 This just got in last night, hoping to get reading tonight if time permits. Ozzi co-wrote Laura Jane Grace's book, which was pretty enjoyable. smailtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been meaning to read more Gaiman but have yet to read anything but Ocean and Neverwhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read Neverwhere, American God's and Sandman, so I'm looking forward to this one. Each of the ones I read had some things I wasn't crazy about writing-wise, but overall I enjoyed each of them. I'll probably start with a McCarthy book, but I don't have a reading order set yet but they haven't arrived yet either. edit: I actually tacked that on to my order because the last copy of Neuromancer sold out when I was trying to check out and it was buy 3 get one free, but im still excited for it.

I have American Gods sitting on my shelf, just haven't gotten around to it. From what I remember Gaiman's themes, tones and atmosphere were FANTASTIC but something about his writing style in certain spots was jarring, for lack of a better word. That is so WEIRD. I almost added on to my last post that I am in the middle of reading Neuromancer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 As of last night I'm officially more than halfway through Discworld! I started reading them in 2013 and was keeping a pretty good pace, but when Terry passed away books started getting hard to request through my local library system and it kind of killed my momentum. iwokeinrelief 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly my favorite series of all time. I think i've read every one of them like 4-5 times and they really never get old for me. If you're reading in order you've got some really amazing stuff in front of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
