What books are you reading?

Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides.

So far so good, loved Kingdom of Ice.

Also the older I get the more I like non-fiction, which makes me feel older as well :joy:

I read a little…at a time. Word bubbles count!

Considering I’m in publishing you’d think I actually read more.

It’s called the Orthodox Study Bible, should be available through multiple retailers if you search that term. Their is only one. While I am not part of the Orthodox Church, their is a lot of good that I have been pulling from it.

The world leader of my church is reading a Bible in the original Hebrew. He talked about some insight from it in an official address.

Finally getting around to reading Cordelia’s Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. I have read all the Miles Vorkosigan novels (they rock), but never read the foundation series about his mother. Bujold writes science fiction of the highest order.

I just finished a new translation of The Gallic Wars, by Julius Caesar. I got my minor in Roman History, so I find that stuff interesting. I am probably one of those strange people that think about Rome on a daily basis. Probably because I see its history being repeated so often :slight_smile:

And now I started reading to “Way of Kings”. I’d already listened to it in audioform. But reading does hit different somehow. More visceral maybe? Or maybe it’s just that when I listen to an audiobook I’m always doing something else at the same time. And while reading I’m not.

I’ve finished Death’s End by now.

While I loved the Dark Forest…Death’s End truly blew my mind.

The whole series has been a succes for me. I love each book, and loved each book after that even more.

So glad to hear someone else feel that way about 3. Technology I never considered could exist. The fate of humanity… Yeah, ■■■■ blew my mind too.

I’m glad you liked it! That’s the wonderful thing about books, each of us sees something different in the same text, so there’s always someone who will enjoy any book.

Cool. I read em all. Louis Lamour is awesome. William A. Johnstone writes westerns and is worth checking out and a lot of his books are like westerns set up in modern times. His books are addictive.

I like the lessons that L’Amour teaches in his books. A lot of the growth his characters experience can be applied to real life

I just started Mort, book 4 of the Discworld series. The first 2 were good, but the 3rd was MUCH different, and I liked it much better. So far I’m really digging this one.

Just finished Shift (book 2 of the silo series) by Hugh Howey and Dune Messiah (book 2 of the Dune series) by Frank Herbert. Really loved Shift and how it tied into Wool while further developing the world they take place in. Howey does a great job of making you FEEL the discomfort throughout the books without dragging things out.

I’m still working on a fun book called You’re Not Listening by Kate Murphy and then just started the classic sci-fi book Hyperion by Dan Simmons.
