And there is always something new to discover little buried jokes in his books.


Although the basic storyline remains the same, the differences in character personality and physical descripton, sequence of events, and ending allows those who have seen the movie version to thoroughly enjoy and often be surprised reading the original books.

Primo Levi's If This Is A Man/The Truce: Hachette Essentials - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4961379055


The setting is a European village near Strasbourg in the early 16th century. Women start dancing non-stop and are subsequently persecuted by the city council. I thought the setting was well done but character development was a little simplistic. I didn't think the novel was as good as The Mercies by the same author.

I am not to sure what kind of scam this is, but I have not read any books recently. I deleted a previous list of books that I had read, as I was informed by another goodreads user that I had recommended some of these books to her - which I most definitely did not. I think this is scandelous.
Can someone at Goodreads give me an explanation?

get for free on amazon leave a honest review im still new and would like the truth please
thank you.... this is my first day on here

Next on the list are some non-fiction and self-help centric top-rated books.



It has been 10 years since the 5th. book of the originally intended 7-book series was published and Mr. Martin has yet to publish the final 2 books, so I doubt that they will be forthcoming. I did watch the TV Series based upon the books. The producers created their own final installments and ending. Whether or not it was based upon the one originally intended by George R.R. Martin we may never know.


The Vacuum of Space


Am about halfway through Babel by R.F. Kuang, MPhil, MSc. She is doing a PhD in East Asian Languages now according to the author description at the back of the book. interesting story not sure where it is going...yet. Cerebral rather than bang, bang shoot em up, but enjoyably so.
