What book are you reading at the moment ?

[faniebraai]

Finished this 2 days ago and really liked it, then immediately started with The Line Of Polity (Agent Cormac, #2) by Neal Asher. This is one is longer, and already I can feel this one has a lot more dimensions than the first one...

Finished this yesterday. A lot denser than the first one, really liked it, but I felt the ending was a bit rushed. Saw it coming early on. Will still give it a 4/5

Started with Brass Man (Agent Cormac, #3) by Neal Asher

World War Z

Quite a interesting take , seems the whole book is accounts like interviews etc. Am enjoying it.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared

I needed something light after the bloody SARS book...

World War Z

I like the submarines bit, you'd float due to air in lungs.
Watched the movie after reading it and was a bit confused as to why it has the same title, but I'm all right with it, both were good.

Re-reading knife of never letting go while waiting for chapters of the translated novels to pile up.

Have recently read a lot of translated novels.
- Release that witch

And some MMORPG (the translated stuff sucked me into this genre):
- Shadow Hack
- MMORPG: Rebirth of the legendary guardian chapter

Not translated:
- The dragon's wrath < sadly the author died I think, he wrote under a pen name but no updates since end of 2016

To read:
- The shaman trials, also an MMORPG type book, not translated.

Finished all of the above except shaman trials, at book 4/7.

After this series I am going to go a bit more dry and finish off some books about algebra and stats for IT. Need it for my project.

Yah, the film was very different. I'm going to try the survival guide next as well.

The audiobook gets high praise. Has a full cast that fits well with the format. Might be worth a shot if you're enjoying it.

My wife also listens to the audio books I buy. I've had "Ready Player One" and "We are Legion, we are Bob" thus far and want to get something less sci-fi.

We both enjoyed "As the Crow Flies" by Jeffrey Archer. But don't know whether I want to get one of his Chronicles. Any recommendations along those lines?

Against satanboys advice I started with Fall of Hyperion.
About 7% in and eh. It flicks between observations of war strategies and a narrative like: "Brawne Lamia sits on a rock and looks at the child". Not really feeling it.

Hmm. I don't recall having that feeling. I enjoyed the more conventional structure and seeing the story from Hyperion unfold. The book has some great scenes. The one with Ummon, especially.

Apartheid:Guns and Money. Had it for a few weeks and finally got going with it.
Should be interesting.

Would be nice if they could make an audiobook bookclub where we could share recommendations.

I'm not finding Audibles recomendations good at all, they will almost always recommend books that I have already read (and own) even if they are earlier books in the same series.
They never recommend book 5 as I finish book 4. Its a bit silly.

This thread is way more valuable in that regard. Most of what I'm listening to at the moment came from here.

About a week ago, I was casting around in my paper library for something to read.

I eventually took down this book:



but it sat unopened on my nightstand for a couple of days. For some reason, I was unable to pick it up and read it.

Then he died.

I still haven't opened it.

The Infinite Future - Tim Wirkus

What a waste of time. A book within a book... 1/5

 

[R13...]

Final book in the Iron Druid chronicles out.

Completed- This Perfect Day: 3/5. Not as good as other dystopian novels I've read. Also has a different ending than most of the type. Never mind that the ending feels a bit like a sudden drop
