Missed this one

I'm an avid reader... though these days it's in ebook format. Old eyes. I'll read about anything, though. Mysteries, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy, history, biography... just about anything that you might think of. Oh, excepting self help types <shudder>

Currently, I'm finishing up Patricia Briggs 'Mercy' series. Not great, but if you enjoy that kind of thing, they're well written.

One book I like to recommend: John Ross's 'Unintended Consequences'. It's an Excellent read about the 'gun culture' of the USA. Not your thing? Fine, but for those that enjoy that sort of thing, it's worth the time. Long, yeah... and there's some 'not for kids' parts, but it does a great job of illustrating how the gun culture in this country got to where it is, where it might be headed, and one possible outcome. John is a friend of mine. The book was written in the 80's, and he has long proposed a sequel, but never written one. I know for a fact, based on current events, he IS writing a sequel, and I'm eagerly awaiting it.

I was going to reread The Road, but saving that for less troubling times and am starting to read border trilogy again. I think this is my first time reading a book again, I must be getting old

Cormac MacCarthy is a great writer but his works are so depressing.

No, not exactly uplifting...

Why Fish Don't Exist by Lulu Miller

 

[Hugh Mann]

Currently jumping between two series.
Horus Heresy by the Black Library. Written by about a dozen different authors.
Clive Cusslers various series, currently Numa Files

Why going between the two, because both have half library worth of material and it gets to be a slog binging on just one.
Beyond those two, assorted Sci Fi, Fantasy, stuff like that.
While nothing can ever beat having a real book made of paper, my Kobo has logged over 2,000 hours in the last 7 years.

If It Bleeds by Stephen King, though I’ve been in a reading slump for some time now, so I’ve only read the first short.

I'm reading this too...

American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

There was a tv series on the book some years ago (I think on Starz). Saw a few of the beginning episodes but that’s it.

I just cracked this. I’ve read it a couple times. This is a great book for baseball fans, teachers, and any folks that like the small town American win. I can’t say enough good things about it. My copy is signed and it’s well traveled. It’s that good.
