What book are you reading at the moment ?

Ringworld by Larry Niven

Sci-Fi. Sometimes sounds childish/simple....strange.

Gave up after chapter 7. It comes across as a children's book (at times).

 

[satanboy]

Recently finished it and the ringworld engineers. Must say the characters are entertaining. The Speaker and Nesis dynamic was great.

Don't agree. I feel that I can write better. The characters come across as children in adults bodies.

The other book sucked because you came from awesome!

now reading, "Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett". It's a really excellent read - amazing how about which is supposed to be about the building of a cathedral can be so long, full of drama and amazing.

It's an incredible book.

Agreed, a must read.

I'm rereading The Postman while waiting for books to arrive. Its still a compelling and interesting read the second time. Too bad about the movie though

 

[C4Cat]

It's an incredible book.

The audio book was very good too, very enthralling

By the way, by "read" I mean "listening to" lol. I should really replace my lost kindle at some point.

First time reading one of his books. Has a slight cheesiness / pulp quality to it, dunno...see what happens the next few chapters.
Kurt Vonnegut - The Sirens Of Titan.

2nd time reading this because I just bought the 3rd book and wanted to reread the first two. Enjoying it as much as I did the 1st time around!

I read as much as possible but also go through a load of audio books on the way to and from work.Passes the time in the traffic nicely.

My absolute favourite author. If this bounces off you please try Bluebeard. It has less of the pulpy sf which turns a lot of new readers off prematurely.

The Sirens Of Titan is one of those bizarre books that can be very divisive.

 

[DisasterRelief]

Started reading The three-body problem, Cixin Liu. Interesting so far.

 

[Solarion]

Dick Francis - Triple Crown

Just got it!

 

[CliffMastr]

True Riches by Jeff Lestz ... just started.

I'm not known for finishing books, but will give this one a shot!!

 

[OrbitalDawn]

The Last Days of New Paris is brilliant.

Guilty pleasure time.

Slaughterhouse-Five is essential reading, imo.

Still need to read more of his stuff. Only read Revelation Space (which I really liked)...
