What Are You Reading Now? Pt 2. Showing 3,401-3,450 of 10,433

[Cody]

Started The Girl who Played with Fire last night, got about 160 pages into it. I like that Lisbeth is more prominent in this one, she's a fascinating character, I enjoy getting to know her a bit more.

[Scott]

I recently read Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia and The Last Kind Words. I highly recommend The Last Kind Words.

Now I'm reading Cat's Cradle.

[E.]

Almost finished with Let the Right One In (found on Amazon under the title "Let Me In"). Absolutely great, creepy, disturbing. Elements of classic vampire but clearly a cut above what's been done before.

Love this book! I knew they titled the American movie Let Me In, but didn't realize they changed the book title too. Kind of a bummer since the name was part of the homage to the 80s.

Great book.

That is a fantastic book. If you want a similar film experience (classic tropes, great new twist), check out A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT.

Started the girl who kicked a hornets nest, I had completely forgotten what happened in the previous book but it's coming back to me slowly

[Kandice]

I've been reading Vurt by Jeff Noon for another group and it is a crazy book! It's labeled cyberpunk, but I'm unclear what that really means even after looking it up.

Has anyone read it?

I love Jeff Noon. I reread Automated Alice when our daughter, named Alice, was born earlier this year. I need to reread the entire Vurt series at some point. I read them back when I devoured a bunch of cyberpunk, like William Gibson's books and Snow Crash.

[Andrew✌️]

I'm reading The Hero of Ages, last chapter of the Mistborn trilogy.
And a couple of days ago I started The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.

Reading Infinity Gauntlet Omnibus

[Andrea]

I just picked up Mucho Mojo: A Hap and Leonard Novel by Lansdale....

[Doreen]

Just started reading Life Had Other Plans by Munish Dhawan. So far so good.

[Kenneth]

Finished Ravenous by Ray Garton. A fantastic werewolf tale with an updated view of the mythology. 4.5 silver bullets out of 5.

Finished The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King. It is a huge step up from the previous book in the series and feels like vintage King with an action-driven plot and memorable characters. The plot though much more ambitious in scope than its predecessor is more focused while the writing is not only evocative but also economical (unlike a lot of late King books which plead out for a good editor). There is some dark humor (Roland's adventures in the modern world drew some pleasant unexpected smiles from me), a great gunfight (a series dedicated to gunslingers was calling out for one)and nice character development (which the first book was sorely lacking); all of which add to the enjoyment of the read.

However it still gives too little information about the titular Dark Tower for my liking. If the books it sets up are as good as this one I would bump the rating to 5 stars but because as of now it's an incomplete story, my rating - 4/5.

It is, I too hated The Gunslinger.

I liked it. The story is intriguing and there is a deep analysis of the characters But, there are so many twists that I understand why some people are disappointed. There are more point when the author could have written the END word, given a different tone to the investigation.

[Holly]

Thanks for your thoughts; I'm glad you liked it.

[Cody]

@Kandice
I'm really enjoying both the artwork and story, and it's my first e-comic!

[Charlie]

Just finished A Little Brown Book of Burials by Laird Barron. Currently reading Dark Hollow by Brian Keene

[Patrick]

The Ignored

The Ignored by Bentley Little.. actually a re-read but my favorite book of his. Awesome and extremely thought provoking horror, fun too! Next will be Outer Dark by Cormac McCarthy, then ordering The Border by Robert McCammon.

[Gavin]

Finished Kick-Ass 3 #1 today. Reading Sin City, Vol. 7: Hell and Back

[Ron]

Just completed by Hugh Howey and can't say enough good things about his series. Getting ready to finally read next.

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished The Alloy of Law, a wonderful book in the Mistborn world. Now I'm continuing the Dune series, reading God Emperor of Dune. Nice, but too many reports and few facts.

[Erin]

[Gabriel]

Currently reading:

- The Best American Short Stories 2014 collection
- Andrew Schwab - Fame is Infamy
- Ernest Hemingway - To have and to have not
- a short story collection by Jules Verne
- Mr. Bones, by Paul Theroux (short stories)

I guess I am set on short stories this month. They are standalones and don't force me to stick around a thick book right now.

Peace!

[Marnie]

Trigger Warnings by Neil Gaiman. A little apprehensive about starting one of his novels so thought I'd give short stories a try. I really want to like his books - the descriptions always seem amazing - but something about his style is a little off-putting for me. I'm not usually a short story reader - not enough time to bond with the characters - but these are interesting, and a few beautiful.

[Sara the Librarian]

Marnie the short stories are a great place to start. Also not sure how you feel about graphic novels but he's got a wonderful fantasy series called "Sandman" that's all out in graphic novel form now. In terms of world building and characters there's honestly nothing like it.

I am currently reading more books than I should be. I'm about to start "Finder's Keepers" the second in the "Mr. Mercedes" trilogy, am disappearing into the depths of John Connolly's latest Charlie Bird novel "A Song of Shadows", Jean Hegland's "Into the Forest", and "Star Wars: Aftermath" because along with everything else I'm a Star Wars geek.

[Marnie]

Sara, you're a kindred spirit, clearly with an interest in at least several genres. I can tell you that I loved Finders Keepers. (I may not be the best judge, however, since I love all things SK)

[Kandice]

I think almost everyone has a bit of "Star Wars Geek" inside. Mine is just a hell of a lot more than a bit.

[Kandice]

But you chose Chewie as an avatar!

[Nick]

Finally finished A Discovery of Witches, check out my review. Half way through Sole Survivor and almost ready to start talking about it. Just about top start a re-read (actually this time a listen) to 'Salem's Lot, already one of my favorites.

[Nick]

I'm glad you are joining us for 'salem's Lot!
