Edit: BTW, is that the guy the squid is named after?

Yes: the squid, the current, and various other things...

Now that I'm finally getting to the end of that Putin book (I did read Jimmy Carter's book reminiscing on his life from 90 in the interim), I'm hoping to dive into volume two of Holton's The Reading Railroad: History of a Coal Age Empire.

What are you reading? - Verwood - 02-11-2018

Just finishing science fiction novel ?The Three Body Problem? by Cixin Liu. Such a great novel and I?ve already purchased its sequel ?The Dark Forest? for when I do finish.

I am an avid reader and figured that this page was worth re opening. I am currently working my way through JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion. It is pretty good so far. With that said, I think I like the Hobbit better.

The Hobbit is a quicker read as well :lol:
I'm currently on Ernest Cline's Armada and looking at starting The Last Wish by Sapowski

Not familiar with either Armada of The Last Wish. Will look into both of them.

Cline wrote Ready Player One as well as Armada just to give you an idea of writing style. I don't know what Last Wish is like either but it's supposed to be what the Witcher game series is based off.

Ah, ok. Not a big "Ready Player One!" guy.

Any Brandon Sanderson fans in the community? Brilliant fantasy writer. Currently reading the second book of his Mistborn series.

I'm a big Sanderson fan. I started out with Mistborn, but I've read most of his by now- Stormlight, Mistborn Series 2, Reckoners, Skyward...

And I met him once at a conference. He was a really nice guy, and he took the time to talk with everyone in the signing line.

I'm currently reading from an original print copy of Moby Dick. I purchased it at Shakespeare & Company, which is a store on Paris' Left Bank. It's an amazing store, filled with older copies of books, and it's a tight squeeze to get in. The line was wrapping around the block when I visited, so I was lucky to get in. Completely worth the wait - I just wish I was able to grab more books! I purchased Moby Dick, a 18th century Bible Commentary, and The First Men In the Moon by H.G. Wells.

Re: What are you reading? - Legionas - 11-14-2019

Currently binge-reading Dan Brown novels, finished Origins a few hours ago

Re: What are you reading? - Bears Armed - 11-24-2019

Re-reading the latest volumes of Jim Butcher's 'Dresden Files' series.

Re: What are you reading? - Laeral - 11-24-2019

Reading "Beyond Charlottesville" by former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, describing his perspective on the Charlottesville protests in 2017, and "An Indian Dynasty" by Tariq Ali, discussing the lives of four Indian Prime Ministers of the Nehru-Gandhi family.

Re: What are you reading? - Osirisa - 12-01-2019

I just started "The Tombs" By Clive Cussler and Thomas Perry, it's one of Cussler's Fargo Adventures, first one I've read. I like it so far but my favorites of his are still The Oregon Files series.

Re: What are you reading? - Legionas - 12-01-2019

I'm currently reading 1984 by George Orwell.

Good man! Great book, I think you will really like it.

Re: What are you reading? - Legionas - 12-09-2019

I finished it, was really good

I thought the mid section ran a little slow but the ending was fantastic. Very scary to think about.
