Gary | 229 comments Lord of the Flies by William Golding,

Stephen King writes a lot about this book into his stories.

A classic, I first read that in high school.

Michael | 30 comments Have you ever wondered why there are so few black characters in American Westerns when there were actually quite a large number of black cowboys? I put together a list here and added the books of the Gunslinger where Susannah Dean figures most prominently:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

I know so many of you have diverse reading experience. If you can add more books to the list, I would be much obliged. I tried in the Western & Romance group, but it's kinda dead.

Note: In case you are wondering... I haven't finished the DT series yet, which is the reason I haven't added the last two books. ;-)

Thanks for your help!

This one is really great, had a lot of fun reading it. The follow-up is also quite good, although not as good as "Kings of the Wyld".

I just started ready "Cruelty" by Edward Lorn and so far I can say that he has a very twisted mind. In a good way.

Hans, have you listened to the song playlist that goes along with books? My son found it on Spotify, I was pleasantly surprised!

Interested to hear your thoughts on The Indifferent Stars Above when you finish reading it. I've owned it for a while, but haven't read it yet.

Erin, how could you not warn me about how disgusting The Troop is?! Nevertheless, I'm enjoying it. About 1/3 the way through now....

I loved this one so much. I took a break from my Hugo reading to submit to John Bolton's horror. My review is here:

Now back to the wonder of Alix E Harrow's 10000 Doors of January. I still have 3 more novels to go by July 15.

"he just comes off as a monstrous, spiteful, warmongering chickenhawk" LOL ! That's pretty much what I've concluded just from watching/listening to him over the past week or so. Ugh. The WaPo interviewer asked him why, if things were so awful, he didn't testify before the House -- and he proceeded to blame it all on the Democrats. Very twisted logic.


message 7946: by Kandice (new)

Kandice | 4387 comments I just started Let's Go Play at the Adams'. It feels as if everyone else in this group has read it and I am behind. It's, so far, a better snapshot of life in the 50s than a picture of violence, but I'm not very far yet.

Andrew✌️ (andrew619) | 335 comments I'm reading The Tower of the Swallow. When I'll finish this one, I'll only have one book left. Not every book is so good and going forward with the series, the story is too long.
