Read that book a few years ago. Never saw the movie though.

I was mesmerized by both the book & the movie. If you liked the book, you won't have problems following the movie. Check it out

At present:

- Sovietistan - Erika Fatland (really enjoying her travel books of late)

- Lonely Planet Nepal

Currently on the 8th book in the Gray Man series. Listening to the audio books and the narrator is super talented, guy does voices for women, children, African, Arab, Asian accents.

It’s like listening to a movie.

Loving The Gray Man series myself. Currently on book 6, also doing audiobooks.

Just started the first jack reacher book. Killing floor. Bout 70 pages in I like it so far

I really hope the series is good. My mom works at a library reselling store. She sent me maybe 20 or 30 or more of the reacher books. I like to read one author/the same character back to back to back so I'm hoping this is the next few years of reading for me.

[I Am Legion]

I just read Dean Koontz's 2023 offerings, House at The End of The World and After Death. This dude still writes page turners. I am also in Paul Trembly lately.

This one I wanna read!!!

Shatner wrote both Star Trek Memories and Star Trek Movie Memories around the same time. I read Movie Memories first.

Spoiler

It turns out that Harve Bennett, although a great mind for Televison and cheap movie magic, made certain that (much to the chagrin of Gene Roddenberry) none of the Trek movies (after The Motion Picture) were epic. In a roundabout way, Bill blames Bennett for sabotaging Star Trek V and compromising Nimoy's vision in III and IV by acting as a minion for the studio executives. Nimoy was also quite chapped at Nick Meyer for dicking him around on the Star Trek VI story and for not putting respect on Roddenberry's name.

TMNT: The Last Ronin

I saw there is a movie coming out so I thought i'd give it a try even though I'm not into comics. Really enjoy both the story and the art work, already read through it twice. I got the hardcover on Amazon for $17 and it's a great looking book. I recommend it.

I've read most of them and enjoyed. The latest ones are written by Lee Child's brother under Child's name so I've passed on those.

Not reading much lately but last time I was on holiday I read Into thin air, by Jon Krakauer. About a bunch of deaths on an Everest climb. Brutal stuff.

I've been trying to read Training essentials for Ultrarunners but struggling a bit.

Blow

Seem the movie many times, never read the book.

Book/real life George Jung is considerably less sympathetic and much more of a creep than Depps portrayal of his character.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

Last few weeks I read "Borne" by Vandermeer (writer of Annihilation) and Tender is the Flesh. Yesterday I finished Parable of the Sower.

As for manga and comics, at the start of the year I read Vinland Saga volume 12 and 13 and Incal + Before the Incal.

I have read these books several times since a teenager, and they are among my favorite ever ones to read.

If you havent, GET ON IT

I'll probably skip the ones the brother wrote too. I don't like when writers do this. Stephen King I think did that with his son, cowrote a book or two and I feel like I remember them sucking

I picked up one in the shop the other day after slogging through one written by Andrew Child and was thinking , Andrew can't be as bad as I thought ...he was worse , even reading 4 or 5 pages...


Anyway

Raymond Chandler The Big Sleep.
Neil Spring The Lost Village.
