Currently reading Mustaine, the memoir by former Metallica guitarist and driving force of Megadeth, Dave Mustaine.

This is the 16th book I've read this year so far.

I am reading this intellectual stimuli, it's a very enlightening experience.

It can be quite intricate and highly detailed at times but it still is a very satisfying experience over all.

Nose mythology by Neil Gaiman.

Not reading out loud as my throat is a bit thor

 

[Dngrsone]

Currently reading the Frontlines series by Marko Kloos and listening to The Ringworld Engineers by Larry Niven during my long commutes.

 

[Unforgiven]

Bitten again by the horrid search feature on this site...

I not only look like an elephant, but I have a memory like one too. No worries.

 

[Dngrsone]

Well, I've read something like twenty books since the last time I reported in here...

Recently finished Ready Player One, which i guess has been turned into a movie, and currently reading about Paper: Paging Through History

Also picking my way through some Jack Reacher (I have the first six books in an omnibus), and a couple "Jack" Daniels books by J. A. Konrath.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Starting the "Ring of Fire" series by Eric Flint over again. I've read all the "Grantville Gazettee" books that are currently available as a adjunct to the series so I want to see how it reads with that info in my memory. If Baen Publishing ever combined all this content into an omnibus series I'm pretty sure it would be bigger than the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan.

Sci-Fi/Cyberpunk genre, and vastly more readable than William Gibson.
Think they also turned it into a Netflix TV show.

Recently finished The Three Musketeers, which was not pleasant. I am now reading Fuzzy Navel, a thriller which involves a cop, her very retired cop mother, a complete psychopath, and a trio of rogue snipers.

Just finished 'Joyland' by Stephen King. I enjoyed it. Before that I read 'Finders Keepers', also by SK, it's the second in the Bill Hodges trilogy. I'm waiting for the third to be available to borrow from the library (on my Kindle), I'm third in line lol

 

[Dngrsone]

Honestly, my TBR is so large, I will likely never get through all of them, and yet I continue to add titles. Kinda sad, if I think about it...

 

[Clementine_3]

yet I continue to add titles

I've downloaded a bunch of the free monthly offers Amazon sends, I've read about 1/4 of what I have. I try not borrow or buy anything unless I have time/desire to actually read it and I go on binges (on one now) so yeah...so much for THAT plan!!

 

[Dngrsone]

LOL.

I've had to teach myself that it is okay to give up on a title if I'm not really into it.

The reason I finished The Three Musketeers is because it was a book club read. Otherwise I would have tossed it out a third of the way through and had an extra week and a half of reading something more pleasant.

The book club thing is nice, though-- gives me a chance to expand my horizons a bit and read things I normally would not have or keep putting off in favor of more accessible stuff.

I absolutely loved the Netflix show. Hands down amazing. I would be interested to know how someone who read it first liked the show. Acting and production were stellar.

Alexandre Dumas?

Alexandre Dumas?

Yes

 

[dontpanicbobby]

That's like 300 years old. Reminds me of Japamese cinema. Never a happy ending.
Extreme nastiness.

Oh I absolutely plan to watch the show. I purposely avoided knowing anything about it while reading the book.

Fair point... I'm expecting an update once you watch it!

Just watched the first episode. The actors are perfectly cast in their roles. Kovacs is just how I imagined him, and the whole feel of the environment is exactly how I expected. It captures the style of the book very well. Looking forward to watching more.

Just finished up to volume 13 of the Overlord light novel series. Awesome read IMO.

Season 2 was recently confirmed (with casting), can't wait.
