What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[Speed Demon]

I'm currently listening to audiobooks. The Empire series (eight) by Christopher G. Nuttall.
An excellent author of science fiction.

The Mayor of Casterbridge, Thomas Hardy. Has more twists and turns than I thought possible. Willie

Yeah Willie, well done that man!
The obvious tip in literature is never to become a hero/heroine in a Hardy novel - you'll just get a sh*tty end!
But hey, they're a dang good read. 

Not sure if you can make them out - my Hardy hardbacks.

Trying to get back into reading after a layoff-
I find if the first chapter is boring I just throw the book aside--
One thing I learned years ago -If the so called experts recommend a book -it's going to be pretentious crzzzzp
I the one I just finished -One Shot by Vince Flynn-same  type of hero as the Bourne books

I used to read Sci-Fi books for me dinner and tea-cant understand how the world as we know it Jim is still up the Swanee----

Working in Warehouse/Retail you don't get much chance to do anything between Oct/Dec/Jan each year apart from work/sleep - but I was recently able to pick this up (after a couple of favourable reviews), and look forward to getting stuck into Bruce.

I'm currently reading The Book of Lost Tales by J RR Tolkien. I can only read a very few pages at a time before I get brain overload but it does give good background information to The Hobbit etc.   Willie

just finished reading the Altered Carbon trilogy by Richard K. Morgan, great cyberpunk science fiction, apparently netflixs are gonna turn it into a tv show. personally i don't think it is remotely possible to turn it into a tv show. cos in the novel's somewhat dystopian world, human personalities can be stored digitally and downloaded into new bodies, called sleeves. the lead character Takeshi Kovacs  changes sleeve practically every chapter, still the same person but in a completely different body.

I've just finished Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin  - not as absorbing as the other books of hers I've read.

I've now picked up a John le Carre I've not read before; Single and Single. So far so good, in a predictably noir-ish le Carre fashion.

Other than tons of reading for work (linux, bash, and shell scripting - not enticing to most people, nor frequently even to me), I've been dipping back into Conan Doyle's macabre short stories, mixed up with snatches of stories by Bram Stoker, H.P. Lovecraft, and Sheridan Le Fanu - you know, fun stuff!
