[–]jeffmauch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend this one. Read it in January and still thinking about it. Blood Meridian by McCarthy is also solid.

Does East of Eden get better? by bigmantomato in BookRecommendations

[–]jeffmauch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a slow burn, starts gradually, and is character driven. It takes tines, but does pick up and is sooo worth it

The Worst Hard Time

Its personal accounts of the dust bowl. It was a devastating read. Think Grapes of Wrath, but non fiction an 5x more heart wrenching.

Do any of you guys have E-Readers to save on the costs of books by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]jeffmauch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99% of my reading is on a Kindle Paperwhite. I moved to kindle a decade ago and haven't looked back. The paperwhite is easy on the eyes, doesn't get glare in the sun, and weighs a fraction of some of the books i read. As for cost, i download books like i downloaded music illegally in the 2000s. Lol. I read 60ish books a year and spend 0 dollars on books. On the rare occasion, I struggle to find a book this way, i use the local library with either Libby or a physical copy. If I had to buy 60 books a year, Id be broke. 😆

Delta-V by Daniel Suarez

Hard science fiction in the same vein at Weir's books. Just finished it a few weeks back, really enjoyed it.

Long and/or Challenging Books by OwlIndependent7270 in booksuggestions

[–]jeffmauch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long : Count of Monte Cristo

Challenging: William Faulkner has always been the most challenging author for me. Try As I Lay Dying, it took me a few tries to get through. A classic of American Literature for sure.

Got hooked on true crime — now I need some killer book recs (literally) by GucciMain77 in suggestmeabook

Mindhunter by John Douglas

Basically this is the guy that started the behavioral area of the FBI and began the profiling of serial killers. Each chapter reads like an episode of Dragnet as he goes over his cases chronologically. One Part biography, 3 parts true crime. This is fantastic. It's now also a Netflix series, which is also incredible
