I just finished Old Man's war by John Sclazi - AWESOME !!! A MUST !!!

Has anyone read The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson?



I know that it's set hundreds of years after the Mistborn series... my question is, do I need to be informed of the events of the series to enjoy Alloy?

A Spell For Chameleon by Piers Anthony.

Just finished Ilium (Dan Simmons) and The Martian (Andy Weir). I am supposed to read Simmons' Olympos now but I don't have that one yet so I started a Mo Hayder thriller (after finishing Ilium I needed something that requires less brain cells anyway )

Yeah, Dan Simmons can wear you out. What did you think of Ilium? I loved it, and its sequel, Olympos. At some point you should get a copy of Muse of Fire - wonderful space novella by Simmons. How was The Martian Way?

This is on my (relatively) short list of books to read. Maybe I should bump up its priority.

Currently reading, THE MARTIAN, by Andy Weir, and loving it.

I'm just finishing up a 1000+ page book and then I'm going to decide between Armada, The Martian, and because of Shac's recommendation, Old Man's War. Right now I'm leaning toward Armada.

[ladysai]

Armada was pretty good. I liked Ready Player One better, but both were enjoyable.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
~Neil Gaiman

I really do want to check out some Dan Simmons that everyone has suggested, but I'm assuming they're gonna be some pretty heavy reads, based off the descriptions/reviews. I figured I'd hold off until I'm ready to commit to something that's not a light read.

[WeDealInLead]

Just finished Bird Box by Josh Malerman. Incredible and chilling read. Started The Night Film by Marisha Pessl.

[zelig]

Bird Box sounds interesting. I finished World Without End by Ken Follett today. A long read at 1025 pages but was really good. I have just started The Martian by Andy Weir.

Hint, hint Summer of Night Not a heavy read at all, and it's a good one to read in the summertime.

How's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I started that one forever ago, but didn't get too far into it before I put it down. Should I go back?

I've been really lucky with some of my most recent reads: A Head Full of Ghosts, Bird Box, and now Night Film. I chose them strictly because of word-of-mouth and went into each of them cold. All very satisfying reads.

Southern Reach Trilogy.. man oh man I am fighting finishing this. First book was AMAZING... the second a total fail and the 3rd not far behind. I would not recommend this to anyone Looking forward to my first Dan Simmons book (Summer of Night) which I just bought... up next!

I just started the third book. I agree about the second one though. Ughh, what a horrible, horrible book. The third one I'm enjoying much more. I'm only maybe about a hundred pages into it though.

I just ordered this last night. I wanted it awhile ago, but it wasn't on sale at B&N. It was $10 cheaper on BN.com, plus I had a coupon.

It IS BETTER than the 3rd. For sure... I am 40 pages or so from the end. I find it a hard read compared to the first but more entertaining. The first was awesome though... I would tell folks to just read that one.

I liked Ilium a lot but it took me a while to really get into the book, or rather, to get into all three storylines (at first I liked the Moravecs the best). I do look forward to reading Olympos but I need to find me a copy first. The Martian was an entertaining read but I guess it helps if you're a bit of a science geek (which I am).

Night Film is pretty good! I read that last year after Rahfa recommended it somewhere on here. I also got a copy of her first book but did not read it yet. I'm going to try and remember A Head Full of Ghosts and Bird Box.

I'm following the masses right now and reading Ready Player One. Liking it so far.

My recommendation for today is The Ritual (Adam Nevill). Did any of you guys read it? One of the most intense horror novels I read in a long time!

Meh, to be honest, I just though it was alright. I ended up finishing it in less than 24 hours so I could start something else. I guess I just wanted more from the story than it delivered.

And here I said I didn't want a heavy read, but then turned around and started The Tommyknockers. Nothing says light read like a two-inch think book.

(What can I say? I was craving some Stephen King)

[Ricky]

Why don't you go back to The Long Walk? You loved that one!

[Girlystevedave]

Never!

Yeah I was having a really hard time getting into it. Is this your first time reading The Tommyknockers? I've been wanting to re-read that one for quite awhile now.

Yeah, it is my first read. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I did some reading right before bed,

Spoiler:

and I was past the part where Peter's eyes started to glow. I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that I had tossed my pillow across the room because, in my mind, my pillow was the item that was causing the problems (like the saucer or whatever it is buried in the ground).
