Recreational reading is back on the agenda.
Finally gonna get around to this one:

I'm reading some of the classics I missed. I read 'Flowers in the Attic' in a day last week. It was ok, but once I found out the author wrote other stories with simila premises it really cheapened the book quite a bit. Still was ok.
I just got 'The Tommyknockers' and 'The Shining,' which I have never read. Somebody can have an impact on my real life telling me which one I should read first.
Endurance was a great story but a kind of boring writer imo. Good read but not nearly as good as it could have been.
How was it? I read all the books he had out around 5-6 years ago and liked all of them. Kind of forgot about him though.A Little Hatred, the new book in Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series.
I recc'd that one, cool that you read it. That's actually the most exciting read in my little library of polar exploration...their voyage on the James Caird to South Georgia was edge-of-the-seat for me.
I recently finished In The Kingdom of Ice, another polar survival story, but it basically goes from boring to depressing as most of the crew dies long, slow, painful deaths.
I'm waiting on a biography of Captain Cook to arrive, re-reading Flatland by Edwin Abbot in the meantime.
