What have you read recently?

Amps

Homegrove I’ve toyed with the idea of rereading them all again… something of an undertaking though. I assume Hollywood has been told to fuck off when it comes to adapting his work? Feels like rich pickings for an industry devoid of any creativity.

Amps

Amps Also, @Homegrove I reckon a guide to them would be worth a read, might swerve a few and a some of the overlapping bits get lost when you’re on the 8th tome.

Homegrove

Amps Amazon was going to do a Culture TV show, but it fell off. Could not think of a worse place really.

Dubman

JonQPublik

That’s definitely going on the list.

Amps

Homegrove Yeah, massively not interested in it being a tin pot tv show full of speeches and ‘alternate’ characters. Needs to be a fuckin huge production with all the nasty shit in it.

Homegrove

JonQPublik Ninth House was fan-fuckin-tastic.

She’s supposedly writing a sequel now. I’m going to reread it next. Just a great book.

JonQPublik

Homegrove Saw that too. I welcome it. Alex is an extremely fascinating character. Such a great smartass. If Ms. Bardugo continues to write her well, she’ll be far more interesting than Katniss Everdeen.

Nina Simone’s Chewing Gum is a great read.

Dubman

Enjoyed Steven King’s - Billy Summers.
Next is ‘The Dope’

Dubman Next is ‘The Dope’

Finally getting through this. It’s really good. Goes all the way back to the early 20th Century. Really puts things in context.

Homegrove

I get a real kick out of knowing I have my next 5 books lined up and ready without needing to buy them.

Homegrove I might speculate the high is perhaps, short-lived Hannu.

Mad_Cyril

seanc80 Could possibly be prolonged with Vicks and poppers?

Homegrove

seanc80 three of them are rereads so I have some idea what they’re like. 😃

Hursty

Half way through the Arnie book, cheers for the recommendation.

What a life, love the 20th century, easily the best time to be alive, post WW2 especially

MC providing relentless Hi-NRG bants to the board nowadays, like someone plugged him into the mains or something.

Homegrove

All clubs closed at the moment. So unless you do it at private parties it’s a bit difficult.

JonQPublik

Billy Summers wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be… I don’t get the hype. Certainly not my favorite SK work. Also, some of it felt like recycled plot points from Doctor Sleep.

Really enjoyed K.S. Villoso’s The Wolf of Oren-yaro. I do seem to enjoy a lot of Asian fantasy. Have ordered the 2 other books in the series.

Just starting James Islington’s The Shadow of What Was Lost.

JonQPublik I do seem to enjoy a lot of Asian fantasy.

Me too. Although not of that sort you describe.

Wasily

JonQPublik Agree, was very disappointed with Billy Summers. Very slow plot development which was fine but ending didnt really do it for me

bosstrabs

I have recently read War and Peace and Hugo’s COVID Musings, the latter being the longer read.
