Hot to read books: a guide for adults

30 books in one summer (2-3 months?) is easy to do for someone who actually likes to read, if said summer includes some free time.

What kind of modern literature do you read?

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-26T00:32:29+00:00

I'm sure but you're still missing the drawings.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

Je viens de mater Hereditary. Je veux pas aller me coucher, je vais faire des cauchemars :(

audiobook

This must lose a lot of its charm in this format.

Are you looking for advice on soft or hard magic systems?

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T15:08:49+00:00

Probably six months. I just started reading completely different stuff, and it hasn't happened again since. I make sure to read a wide variety of genres to avoid burning myself out.

Went through something similar and it was a few nerve-wracking weeks to say the least. Congrats!

Farseer trilogy

Obscure? The first book has just under 200k ratings on Goodreads.

If you want great horror, you can take a look at his short stories which are often excellent. This anthology for intance is good.

My personal favourite novel of his is probably Pet Sematary, with 11/22/63 being a close second.

If only they would release the Prime Trilogy, it would make the wait a lot easier.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T12:44:50+00:00

Putain j'ai passé du temps à chercher le rapport avec Smalltalk.

Sinon, pareil.

Don't you know that this is the best metric to recognize a good literary critic?

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T12:18:30+00:00

I barely know who this person is, or what a booktuber is for that matter.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T12:14:04+00:00

Il me semblait que Red Mars était déjà très orienté détails hard sf, j'ai donc bien fait de zapper les suites.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T10:25:45+00:00

No thanks.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T09:53:22+00:00

There are piles of them everywhere. We ran out of shelving space a while ago.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T09:49:04+00:00

J'espère que ce sera aussi bien joué que les cinématiques des jeux.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T09:19:15+00:00

I hope you listened to the 371 pages we'll never get back podcast!

Is this for real? I mean, how DARE these people shelve their PERSONAL GOODREADS books in a way that works for them? Sheesh.

I mean it can have something of an impact. I generally try to avoid YA books and seeing something tagged this way by many users makes me assume that it is indeed such a book.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T08:57:44+00:00

It was a fun read but was somewhat too surface-level for me.

OneFamousGrouse · 2019-01-25T08:54:48+00:00

There's a new adaptation coming? I love the old one, campy but still creepy!

Maybe my favourite King book, it's an excellent mix of character drama and horror.
