What Are You Currently Reading - 2020

[Alan]

I was a bit hesitant to read this as I was very underwhelmed by Final Girls, but 88 pages in and I've been hooked from the start.

[Amy]

Fargo Burns, The Bitter Kind, Anything by Darcy Coates, House of Leaves, have been reading a lot of newly published authors/independents.

[Krystal]

I just finished Flyaway which was kind of eerie and I loved it! It does make me super curious though whether the legend of the Megarrity is an actual legend or if it was created for this story. Anyone heard of it before?!

LOVED this! Hope you do too! I still want to visit Savannah.

I started three!

[Scott]

Even though I've got a half dozen I'm currently reading, these three are the ones I'm actively reading...

[Monica]

I'm also reading and flying through it. Maybe because I didn't know much about it and I want to know.

Regeneration
The horror of WWI. I found this today in a box of giveaway books in the lobby of our condo building—with quarantine I finally have time to read it. Been meaning to for decades!

Sitting in Mount TBR. I'll be interested in hearing what you think, Christopher.

Randy, I liked Regeneration well enough. Certainly it’s very well-written. But I was a bit uncomfortable with the mixing of real characters with fictional ones, though I don’t know why (I liked it just fine in, say, Booth). I also felt the story was a bit scattered. Probably my expectations were too high, given this book’s fame—I was hoping for another Parade's End or The Road Back, but I don’t consider this to be on the level of those books.

Back to genre horror: The Black Carousel.

First time hearing of the Kindle Keyboard, how interesting... I find each reading device to be like a cheese grater, each does the job but in a different manner.. and I do have many microplanes and graters lol.

Kindle Keyboard was the last one to have a “keyboard” under the screen with letters and numbers to push, hence the name. After that I believe all Kindles were touchscreen.

I'm reading The Providence Rider by Robert R. McCammon

It's the fourth installment and I'm hoping it's as good as the first three!

Flashpoint: High Strangeness in Puerto Rico

A fascinating and entertaining read. The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico already had a rich history of cryptid/ufological/fortean weirdness before El Chupacabras hit the stage.

Definitely agree! You gotta hold it to experience the horror, ha.

I spent like 2 hours one night translating one of the letters on a pad and paper instead of looking it up online just for the experience.

[Victoria Carlo]

I have had a little break from horror as I have been catching up with a few classics.
However, I plan to read my first Brian Keene next week. Can anyone make any recommendations of his work?

[Phil]

Earthworm Gods or Ghoul would be great starting points for Keene.

I'm all caught up with that series and it keeps getting better.
Enjoy!

[Victoria Carlo]

Thanks Philip! I’ll take a look ☺️

Did you finish House of Leaves? It was too overwhelming for me. I would need a Buddy Read to truly appreciate it. It is so brilliantly written! It's like a calculus/physics/philosophy textbook all-in-one, and just as heavy. I should suggest one maybe towards the end of the year and see if there are any takers.

My current reads:

[Arthur]

Hi all, just began

[S.]

Kings finders keepers

The Night Circus

[Christopher]

Fevre Dream

[Char]

Christopher wrote: "
Fevre Dream"

That is one of my FAVORITE BOOKS of all time! Say hello to Abner for me!

I started Tales from the Hearse: Thirteen tales of spine-tingling terror

[Christopher]

Normally I’m not very into vampires, Char, but I’m halfway through Fevre Dream and really liking it. In 2020 I may be practically this book’s only reader who can come to it without thoughts of “Song of Ice and Fire” or “Game of Thrones,” neither of which I’ve ever read/seen—epic fantasy just isn’t my thing. Fevre Dream is my first Geo. R.R. Martin.

I wish, started it like 2-3 times and ended up stuck on the same pages haha, but I'm not giving up, one day!!

Just arrived via Kindle from the library!

I'm so on the fence with this one because I love his writing but hate zombie stories XD

it's been an enjoyable read so far. the writing's good and the premise has been interesting. not a huge fan of the main character, but maybe that's the point. or maybe he'll improve. we'll see, ha ha. :)
