The Three Body Problem is good. I still have to read the remaining two in the series.
same with me as Joe stated. I read the three body problem and stopped after that book even though i really enjoyed the premise and the book itself. Part of me thinks that i just read too damn much and my tastes and wants of the "read next" pile are fickle and change on a whim. i feel like i enjoyed the sci fi parts of the three body problem more that the communist party/ historical backstory that was interspersed through the novel, but i eventually got used to that too and kind of thought it was interesting. i put the trilogy down simply because i never got the next book from the library which is how i read a lot of stuff that i dont own. I have a set of the Sub press s/n le's, so i guess i better finish reading the trilogy.

I encourage you all to continue the series. The first is good, but it's really setting things up for the later volumes. Personally, I thought the second book was the strongest.
Glad to hear you're reading it, Kris. Stay with it; it's worth it.

Finished up a couple of books recently. A Season With the Witch about Salem in Oct. Enjoyed this one and I'm curious to check out some of his other books now. I saw he has one centered around Poe, so I might seek that one out. Also just finished Mexican Gothic. I enjoyed it although I do wish it was creepier. And currently listening to the audiobook of White Tears by Hair Kunzru.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
So I've been on a Halloween reading frenzy. I had a stack of books set aside that I planned to read, but then of course switched gears and started reading books that took place on or around Halloween instead.
Harvest Moon by James A Moore - 5/5 Loved this one, great Halloween read, highly recommend
A Season With the Witch by JW Ocker - 4/5 Made me long to return to Salem for a visit, hopefully next year I can make it out there.
Apartment 5 is Alive by Russell Atwood - 5/5 This one is by a local author who also happens to run the best little bookshop in our town, It's about an apartment that has a fondness for Halloween. Perfect little Halloween read.
Torments by Lisa W Cantrell - 5/5 Sequel to The Manse which I read last year, great follow-up. Not quite as good as the first one, but still a great Halloween read.
Now to decide what to read next...

You're killing it, Heather!
I'm over halfway through Rosemary's Baby. It's been a very quick read so far and Ira Levin's writing style is extremely accessible and readable. It's not as overtly scary or horror-ish like I was expecting, though (I guess the second half will lean more into the horror aspects). I'm enjoying it a lot, but it's not quite as good as The Stepford Wives (one of my favorite books).
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Great to hear, I'll probably start it soon, maybe right after Halloween.
I just picked up Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge and started that one last night. Only 20 pages in but so far so good.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Just finished Perdido Street Station.
Now reading The Time Machine.

Has anyone read The Nickel Boys? I thought it was an amazing book. Very timely too. It's a quick read too.

My move to Texas has slowed my reading down but I’m currently reading Replay by Ken Grimwood and enjoying it.

Discovered Stephen Donaldson, and his Thomas Covenant Chronicles, way back in the late '70s - and I was floored! Loved the trilogy in spite of the fact it was not an easy read and Thomas Covenant himself was, well, less than likeable, but the Land, its people and creatures - awesome.
I was thrilled Donaldson published a second trilogy - devoured the books. And then, not even that long ago, the Last Chronicles - four books!
Hope you'll enjoy visiting the Land as much as I did.

Thomas Covenant Chronicles has been on my TBR pile for too long.
I just finished Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. It absolutely floored me. One of the best books I’ve read in years and I agree with King’s observation - Chandler meets The Exorcist.
I meant to reread Dark Harvest this Halloween. I really enjoyed it the first time I read it.
I loved it! I'll definitely read it again some Halloween.I meant to reread Dark Harvest this Halloween. I really enjoyed it the first time I read it.

Started Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Somehow missed it back in the day and since I have Ready Player Two arriving soon I figured I should read it now. I didn't care much for the movie version but was assured the book was much better.

I’m reading RP2 now - also listening in audio. Liking it so far.
I managed to pick up a signed copy from B&N over Thanksgiving, too, which I’m pretty stoked about.
