I started the first The Wheel of Time book, The Eye of The World, last week as preparation for the Amazon Prime series' premiere this Friday.

Reason for Hope by Jane Goodall

 

[Owain Taggart]

Reading The Sweetness of Water by Nathan Harris, and I'm kind of struggling through it. It's so slow moving. As something that's supposedly character-driven, the characters are paper-thin and only really exist to serve the plot, which is a shame because the period of history directly following the post-emancipation, deserves to be explored with more respect.

My husband and I were told by some friends that Discworld books were good. Right now we are on: The Wyrd Sisters and the Pyramids. We are reading them in order. Have any of you read them? Did you like them? Are friends are just crazy about them. So we are reading them so we can understand what they are talking about!

I love the Discworld books, they are a blast. It's been a while since I read my last one, Guards, Guards! and I really should get back to them some time. I've had Men at Arms sitting on my Nook account for a while, but haven't read it yet.
I'm still working my way through The Eye of The World and I've also started Cold Days, the 14th book in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series.

[Gingerbread Demon]

I don't like the tv show Outlander but are the books any better or worse?

 

[GalaxyClass]

The Every by Dave Eggers, I found it quite funny.

 

[dupersuper]

I'm still buried in comics. I'll get back to novels one day...

I like the first one, but haven't read the others yet. I've seen a bit of the BBC movies.

Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake. I didn’t ‘get’ it in my 20s, but reading it in my 40s and I think it’s sublime.

Just started The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield. A space thriller written by a former astronaut. Basically, he imagines what an Apollo 18 mission might have been. Complete with lots of intrigue. And Russians.

1973: a final, top-secret mission to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny spaceship, a quarter million miles from home. A quarter million miles from help.

NASA is about to launch Apollo 18. While the mission has been billed as a scientific one, flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis knows there is a darker objective. Intelligence has discovered a secret Soviet space station spying on America, and Apollo 18 may be the only chance to stop it.

But even as Kaz races to keep the NASA crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals, a deadly accident reveals that not everyone involved is quite who they were thought to be. With political stakes stretched to the breaking point, the White House and the Kremlin can only watch as their astronauts collide on the lunar surface, far beyond the reach of law or rescue.

Full of the fascinating technical detail that fans of The Martian loved, and reminiscent of the thrilling claustrophobia, twists, and tension of The Hunt for Red October, The Apollo Murders is a high-stakes thriller unlike any other. Chris Hadfield captures the fierce G-forces of launch, the frozen loneliness of space, and the fear of holding on to the outside of a spacecraft orbiting the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour as only someone who has experienced all of these things in real life can.

Strap in and count down for the ride of a lifetime.
