I'm first in line for it, but they don't have the copies in yet. I like the series. I have some issues with the writing, but it's very creative. Very good series.

titansNvolsR#1 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Trying to read more nonfiction so I'm going back and forth between The Fiery Trial by Eric Foner, but I'm still getting my fiction in with Annihilation based on the trailer @Starless posted.

The Gnat Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Listening through Ready Player One as wife and I road tripped this past weekend. We're on chapter 33 out of 40, I believe. So we're into the third part of the book. I thought that the story got off to a little bit of a rough start, too much info dumping, but then it picked up steam really well. I'm hoping they stay very close to the story because it seems like it'll translate into a movie very very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something with a riveting dark plot that'll blow my mind. hrm. i love house of leaves but i am not so sure that i have ever read one much like it. Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James was part gang war/part cold war/part drug war/part reggae and rock and roll novel and it was pretty messed up. also won some awards. get ready to learn jamaican slang though (not a bad thing, just the same idea as reading the first chapters of clockwork orange being hard) I really liked American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis- I thought in text it was much more apparent that it was a satire. OH One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey- a million times better than the novel There's also Cormac Mccarthy's the Road- good for a nice pre-winter deppressive bout of angst Edited November 15, 2017 by mistakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a trip of a book. Like The Twilight Zone meets Soviet Moscow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
