Started this today, awesome

Could not take losing another round of COD

The Outsider

Now an HBO limited series starring Ben Mendelsohn! Evil has many faces…maybe even yours in this #1 New York Times bestseller from master storyteller Stephen King. An eleven-year-old boy’s violated corpse is discovered in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of...

The miniseries was quite good, but heard the book is better in its own ways. The TV version took creative license and deviated from the book in a few places, like the ending.

Last read for me was two books, alternating. First is Mustache Shenanigans by Jay Chandrasekhar. Then also Always Look On The Bright Side by Eric Idle.

Both quite entertaining.

I dont know if you could technically consider them "books" but i did finally read thru the first 2 walking dead compendiums. Now i just need to order up the third one.

forgot about this thread. I have since bought and read the third and final compendium. I really enjoyed it, and actually like how it was ended as well. Something the TV series will never do.....end.

If Spivitz hadn’t bumped the thread I’d have never known about it,

I've read a bunch, been a while

 

[Spivitz]

Current library, I've read most of them, intend on all. I try not to buy anything else until all are done but, well, you know

 

[IDAFC21]

Oh yeah, I've also done the audio version of the The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck, and I did start a digital version of Jenson Button's Life To the Limit book wayyy back that I really need to get back to.

Got that book, read it you slacker. I have Hobbo's book as well. Another fine read.

I'd add a photo of my "library" but the books are stacked 2-3 rows deep so you'd only see 1/3rd or 1/2 of what I have.

Do have the full Mitch Rapp series by Vince Flynn, all the Scot Harvath series by Brad Thor, all the Pike Logan's by Brad Taylor, all the Jack Reacher's by Lee Child. Then to round things out I also have all of Joe Lansdale's Hap & Leornard novels (none of the novellas though), which are much better than the series. However if I hadn't seen the first season on IFC I'd have never known about the books. Although the series was really good, it has nothing on the novels.

Then a TON of biographies, autobiography's, bunch of stuff on the moon landings (Gene Krantz "Failure Is Not An Option", Eugene Cernin "The Last Man On The Moon", etc).

I usually do not read a book from start to finish. I usually start a handful of books and read them all. Sort of like flipping through TV channels I suppose. Here are the last books I recently finished. I really enjoy the short history books on towns I have interest in.

Just finished Ready Player One by Earnest Cline. Have Armada by the same author pre-ordered. http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/0307887448/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432245315&sr=8-1&keywords=ready+player+one
I think I'm going to start on The Martian by Andy Weir until then.

Need to get back to Terry Pratchet and Douglas Adams one of these days

Yeah, I forgot about this thread. Thanks for bringing it back.

Ready Player One is much more complex than the movie (as always). It's a good book. Unfortunately, Armada is not.

I recently found one book in the Pratchett series that I, somehow, didn't own. Got a used copy from Amazon for a few bucks. Really enjoying reading Pratchett again. R.I.P.

I was reading the "The Expanse" books until Corona hit. Will pick up book 6 eventually.

I'm ramping up for the next two books in the series coming out this years, so I reread Cold Days and am starting Skin Game. They're part of The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It's a fantastic series about a wizard private detective who lives in modern-day Chicago.

Also not sure what I was thinking yesterday, but the 4th compendium is the final one, which I've also read.

Haven't really read anything new. I do need to find new audiobooks to listen to. Just finishing up Ready Player One on audio for the 20th time in the last couple years.

I keep buying books and them not reading them. I really need to change that.

I had a couple thousand books I collected over the years in my "library" in Frankfort. Gave most of them to Frankfort Library when I moved down here. Smaller home and no room for the books. I had a 2,000 sq. foot basement in Frankfort. No basement here, just a shed.

 

[sickmint79]

i gave away a chunk of mine, others are on the bookshelf i didn't take out with the house expected to be sold soon (hopefully this week) and some others i did put in a storage facility.

last one was one a friend gave me that's in my traveling bag now, the diversity delusion
