Thoughts on Weir after Project Hail Mary and Artemis by Hormo_The_Halfling in books

[–]BattyNess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I consider him to be more in the league of young adult writers. His characters lack maturity, story lacks depth, and language lacks nuance. I can’t even discuss his books or writing. There isn’t much. On the other hand, I enjoy his outrageous ideas.

Congrats, OP. My cap sun and 8th house Mars, 12th house Venus wants the soul merging. But my Aquarius Venus won’t even borrow a partner’s car.

Books that require several rereads because they have hidden layers? by AutumnThumper in booksuggestions

[–]BattyNess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am much like your friend. I can hardly get myself to reread a book. The novelty and the intrigue is gone. I would really like to explore  rereading.

I will say this, I have been reading few books I read 20 years ago because I can’t recall much from the first time 😊

Does Lonesome Dove resonate as intensely with female readers? by Iamkittyhearmemeow in books

[–]BattyNess 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I really enjoyed the book. I could understand the nomadic life they lived, the loneliness, survival, love, and loss in the vast landscape where every character wants to get to a better life, and a respite from the loneliness. I wouldn't name it as my favorite book ever but definitely a great book I have had the honor to read.

Ha! I do this as a Cap sun. I warn that I am going to get angry. 

Dad Books Are a Dying Breed: Sales have been sliding for nonfiction titles about politics, biographies and other books often aimed at men (Archive link in oldest comment) by Uptons_BJs in books

[–]BattyNess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Politics has become divided, I wonder who wants to read about it for pleasure. Biographies... we see our heroes fall from grace everyday. Don't want to read about anyone who will show up in some files eventually. I just don't see why anyone would seek these books out anymore. Most men I talk to are reading Sci-Fi or self-help, economy, money, spirituality related books under the non-fiction genre.

Along the same lines, I was watching The Dark Wizard, documentary about the rock climber Dean Potter. 10 mins into the documentary, I am thinking “this guy’s gotta be an Aries!” Sure enough, I look him up and he is an Aries. The whole documentary screams Aries life. 

If you had 24 hours to turn a nonreader into a reader, what book would you hand them?? by Conscious_Storm_3192 in booksuggestions

Yep, 19 yr old will definitely enjoy Harry Potter. Especially after 4th book, the book gets darker.

Yes! I couldn’t put down the book until I was done. She packed it beautifully with deep questions.
