One of our local libraries had a huge book sale this weekend and I got 5 (practically) brand new books for $6.25 total (retail would've been about $45-50). I got: Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Alive (for free, since they couldn't sell it because it was an advance reading copy), The Grownup (Gillian Flynn), and In a Dark, Dark Wood (Ruth Ware). All of these have been on my to-read list for awhile now, so I was happy I got them. I found a ton of books that I had already read, which stunk because I could've gotten them dirt cheap.

The Lost World is amazing. Oh, how they butchered that book with that film.

[Mattrick]

I promised Heather I wouldn't give up on The Terror, so I'm still reading that. 200 pages in.

one of my favorite books; I don't think I'll reread it any time soon, but it definitely impressed me like few books did

currently (re)reading: Demons, by Dostoyevsky (hi Mattrick)
love it immensely

I've yet to find a copy :/ I finally bought The Double though

Yeah, I didn't like the movie so I was torn on getting the book. But at $3.00 for a hardcover first edition, I couldn't pass it up.

I just got the white sand manuscript that the graphic novel is based on and I'm really excited to read that after I finish mistborn. I really just want to read the whole story at once

Awesome! Love Jurassic Park and the Lost World. And don't worry, the book is very different from the movie for the later. I also just read In a Dark, Dark Wood recently. Let me know what you think of it. It wasn't bad by any means, but I wasn't enthralled by it either. Don't let that deter you from reading it though.

My fiance read in a Dark Dark Wood and really enjoyed it but would give it a 7.5 out of 10. Given she also read Behind her eyes and loved it so you might give that one a try as well. She is really into that creepy horror mystery stuff (given that's from a guy who reads Misery and Rage...).

I'm worried that 2017 is going to be a crap year of reading for me. I already gave up on one book right near the end of it and now I'm struggling to not give up on what I'm currently reading. I hate being a quitter, but I also hate thinking of all the stories out there that I could be addicted to right now.

Maybe I'll just put the current book in the "finish later" pile. Aka the "set aside until I trade it in at the bookstore for credit" pile.

[WeDealInLead]

Maybe try a lighter read? I've given up on probably five books this year and I find a novella or maybe even something YA oriented normally break the slump. I'm currently reading The Palladin Prophecy by Mark Frost (of the Twin Peaks fame) and it's exactly what I needed: a quivk-paced and interesting YA/light read that's not offending my intelligence.

Also, I'm still reading the Best of Gregory Benford. Some of the science is impenetrable but the stories are very intriguing.

I re-read Ready Player One recently. Such a fun quick book to read. For anyone that has lived through the 80s should give it a shot.

At least you'll have a professionally edited version of The Need soon, and The Limousine in a few months

Hey guys, just about to read Hearts by King from Suspension.. is it about his life in school playing cards? lol Worth it?

[Mattrick]

Hearts is one of my favourite stories he's written.

I haven't read anything in a while, too depressed. I need to find something to get me interested again.

I've been reading the graphic novel series Providence by Alan Moore.

I'm not a graphic novel guy, and have only read a few Lovecraft stories, but I'm really enjoying this story. The illustrations are amazing and there's obviously been a huge amount of research that's gone into weaving various HPL stories into the Providence story line.

Might I suggest something light, like Discworld.

Haven't heard of it, I will check into it. I've never read any Prachett before.
I did just pick up the latest JCO from the library the other day. It's a 14 day loaner. Hopefully I can make it through it on time. Certainly not light subject matter. Nothing she does it but gosh I just love her.

[Girlystevedave]

Started Robert McCammon's Boy's Life last night.
I've had it on my to-read list since someone around here suggested it and finally decided to give it a go. I really enjoy McCammon's writing style so far. It has a great flow to it.
