What If is on my wishlist, but haven't gotten around to getting it yet. Never heard of The Planiverse before, but the concept sounds pretty interesting, will check it out.

Yeah, some of the books in the middle are pretty slow. Things get better from Book 10 though, or was it Book 11?

The magicians

Lev Grossman's? I read it a long time ago, and while it wasn't a quick read, I remember enjoying it. Haven't read any of the sequels though. Have been thinking about rereading the book and then getting the sequels.

dresden OP Mod , 2 days ago

From Manufacturing Consents to Sodom and Gomorrah to The Riddler. That's a nice combination 😀

Which one are you liking the most?

dresden OP Mod , 22 hours ago

There's a fourth? Isn't it a trilogy?

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Oh, I saw the book at shop recently and got it because of Jasper Fforde. His Shades of Grey books is pretty interesting, have been waiting for a sequel for a while now though.

Do share how you like it when you have finished the book.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Yeah, really liking it so far. Started much darker than other books though.

Good luck with reaching your reading goal!

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Ah, I like Tim Cain, guess I'll have to read it too now.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Also. Some of the chapters are written by a cat.

Okay, let me put everything aside and order the book right now.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Never heard of Simon R Green for some reason, but he looks pretty prolific writer, will look up some details...

What kind of books are Buy Mort? They are labelled as Shopocalypse Saga, and that has intrigued me.

dresden OP Mod , 10 days ago

Ah, cool. How are you liking the book vs the movie?

dresden OP Mod , 10 days ago

Sounds interesting, will check it out.

dresden OP Mod , 10 days ago

Yeah, so many books, so little time. I have books in my wishlist for more than a decade, and even some in backlog for a very long time.

dresden OP Mod , 10 days ago

I started it a loooong time ago, soon afte LotR, and gave up after 50 pages or so, and never visited it again. I have heard it becomes it own things in later novels.

I like Terry Brooks' other work, so glad that you are enjoying it!

dresden OP Mod , 10 days ago

Just looked it up, apparently it's not a cook book...

How are you liking it so far?

dresden OP Mod , 9 days ago

lol. Well, if you like something, there is no need for any rationalization, just enjoy it.

dresden OP Mod , 3 days ago

The title seems familiar, but I don't recall hearing about it. Going to check it out.

dresden OP Mod , 3 days ago

Oooh, that's great!

Though, it did take him 15 years to write the sequel, so I am going to wait and see if the story is finished, if not, going to wait for it to finish before I jump back in.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Ahan, thanks for the recommendations. Will check them out.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

I just got 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter' today, reading the secret projects in order, so should be getting to The Sunlit Man soon after that.

Assuming you have read the all four secret project books, which one did you like the most?

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Well, I have only read first two yet, and they were both pretty good. Though yeah, the writing style and vibe of Tress was much more enjoyable.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

It's interesting when people forget actual name of the series, like "Game of Throne series" instead of A Song of Ice and Fire. Didn't know Three Body Problem series have a name.

Yeah, while people generally like the books, it's generally agreed upon (at least in this community) that it's a bit of a slog to go through.

How's the LingQ app? I am just using Duolingo these days, but have been looking at starting to read some long, actual text. Don't really have enough proficiency yet, but it's supposed to help you increase your vocabulary and languages skills much faster.

For a long time I confused The Stand (which I have read) with the Shining (which I haven't read), and when everyone would talk about how great the Shining is, I would respond with my opinions about The Stand, which are it was an okay book, but could've been better if it was half the length.

I recently gave him another chance and read 'Sleeping Beauties' and liked it well enough. Planning to read some of his famous work, like IT, The Shining, Pet Semetary, and see if I like those or he just isn't for me.

I actually have Eyes of the Dragon in my backlog, got it in 2007 (just checked my LibraryThing entry for the book). Maybe I should finally give it a try.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

I loved the Ender's Game, but not rest of the series that much. Second book wasn't bad, but it was very different from the first book, I wasn't expecting that.

Murder bot series is getting lots of recommendations here these days. Would have to read them soon enough before they release it's show and people spoil it for me.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Ella Minnow Pea sounds like an interesting book. Will have to check it out.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Someone else mentioned Nuclear War, A Scenario a few weeks back, they described it as the scariest book they have read. Have already added it to my wishlist.

dresden OP Mod , 11 days ago

Ah cool.

You can message me the referral link. If you need my email or anything, let me know.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Murderbot Diaries are our most recommended books these past few weeks, maybe I should mention such books in the post...

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Checked the synopsis before checking the genre, and was like, "this seems like a perfect setup for a rom-com". 😀

How are you liking the book? And the series overall?

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Crazy Rich Asians sounds interesting, how are you liking it so far?

The Butcher of the Forest is a dark fantasy because of horror theme? Or because author is very sadistic with his characters? I don't mind horror, but not in a mood for the latter right now.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Last Argument of Kings is nice, and it also brings the trilogy to an end, so that's always a good thing. 😀

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

TIL what echopraxia is.

How are you liking the books? Look interesting.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

I have heard a lot him, but haven't gotten around to reading any of his work. What would you recommend the best starting point should be?

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Thanks for the detailed answer. I'll take a look at Blindsight.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Yeah, I am not a big fan of genre, but it's sometimes fun to read something completely different. And I do occasionally enjoy the rom-com movies, so having some of these around can be nice.

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Thanks, will check it out!

dresden OP Mod , 18 days ago

Cool, thanks for the info. Will check it out.

dresden OP Mod , 1 month ago

Well, Alex Verus has finished so there's that.

I remember that The Way of Kings was a bit slow to start, but didn't realise it was this slow. I have been planning a re-read in anticipation of the 5th book, so nice to adjust my expectations.

dresden OP Mod , 1 month ago

Expeditionary Force series look pretty interesting. How are you liking it?

dresden OP Mod , 28 days ago

I am also reading Dresden File, finished Dead Beat a little while ago, going to start Proven Guilty soon.

How are you liking Dune so far?

dresden OP Mod , 28 days ago

Didn't know the anime was based on the book, and that there are sequels to this too. Going to check them out.

dresden OP Mod , 28 days ago

Oooh, Stargate is one of my all-time favourite show, so this just pushed the series to top of my to-buy list.
