Started this as there's an HBO adaptation coming soon.

 

[Stig007]

Extreme Ownership - Jocko Willink and Leif Babin

 

[Gordon_R]

Just started The Better Angels of Our Nature - Steven Pinker (2011)

Its 800+ pages, but covers a very wide scope, the history of violence and humanity.

Amusing credit: One of the most important books I've read - Bill Gates

 

[PoppieChoffel]

Stephen King's Skeleton Crew, a collection of short(er) stories. Starts off with The Mist, quite enjoying it so far.

 

[maumau]

Jeffrey Archer Tell Tale. Not worth R180.

Finished this during the holiday built a wall to wall bookshelf in our library now we read a bit there every evening! Totally worth the effort!


Currently reading

Just finished "Going Postal" by Terry Pratchett.
Not sure on what to read next.

 

[Neoprod]

Just started Persepolis Rising, book 7 of The Expanse series.

 

[pedruid]

A Walk in The Woods by Bill Bryson. It’s about his walking the Appalachian Trial. Amusing.

Well here I go, been planning on reading it for some time now.

I found this quite fascinating, read it over ten years ago though so I should probably read it again and see if I still do. I recall having many WTAF moments worth this book, but in a good way.

Just started listening to
On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. Sounds like it could be a good and interesting read.

Nein! Listening is not reading, its like eating is cheating for an drunkard...

Haha I always have two books going. One audiobook for the traffic time I do work around the house and one I sit and read at my comfort. Both have their place.

Another Lovecraft inspired book I really like is Colin Wilsons The Mind Parasites.
Dig the psychology / mind part of the premise.

Thanks for the rec.

I also really enjoyed Victor LaValle's novella 'The Ballad of Black Tom'. It's a re-telling of Lovecraft's 'The Horror at Red Hook'.

Dan Brown - The Lost Symbol

 

[Binary_Bark]

Dan Brown - The Lost Symbol

Read most of his books and they tend to copy and follow the same thing, gets very boring very quickly.
He is like Wilbur Smith, first and second book is great, the rest is just boring as **** and the same thing over and over
