    I have never read Dickens, what's a good one to start with?
    I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

    A Christmas Carol is quite short and will go easy on you if the style (dense but not fatiguing) isn’t what you’re used to.

    I recently read A Tale of Two Cities for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised at how readable it was, how well written it was, and how much it was ultimately about individuals as much as broad history.

    Just finished Full Throttle and I enjoyed it immensely. My favorite stories would have to be Faun, All I Care About Is You and You Are Released. The only story I had an issue with at first was Twittering From the Circus of the Dead but by the end I thought it wasn't as gimmicky as I first found it to be.

    Started reading The Wide Carnivorous Sky & Other Monstrous Geographies by John Langan.

    I'm about halfway through, so we'll see how I feel by the end of it, but right now I'm enjoying it way more than The Haunting of Hill House.

    Both are timeless classics but I too would give a slight edge to Castle. Like, 1%.

    The wisest course of action is to read both and then finish on a high note with The Lottery.

    I'm going to pick up Borne from the library. I know nothing about it but I loved Annihilation.

    Just the first one. I've read reviews that sequels aren't as good. Annihilation had a satisfying ending so I didn't really think I absolutely had to have all the answers.

    Do you think I should read all of them?

    I plan to read The Lottery next. I read it ages ago so dont really remember it aside from the basic premise.

    And let me know what you think of Borne. I've had it on my shelf for awhile but haven't gotten to it yet.

    Nor I. The 3rd one is total trash. I could not believe how bad it was AND the only book I have not finished.

    I too only read Annihilation after hearing how bad the other two are. Works perfectly fine as a standalone story.

    I'd also recommend stopping after Annihilation. I loved that book so much, but hated 2 and 3.

    Finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Absolutely loved it! My favorite read of the year so far.

    I was just searching through my shelves and came across Hangsman by Shirley Jackson. Have you read this one, and is it good?

    Not yet. I'm on a mission to read every book I own with only a few exceptions that I just can't resist.

    I was just thinking the same thing last night. I was going thru some of my shelves and there's all these books there that I haven't read, and a lot of them I had forgotten about. That's where I found Hangsman which I didn't even know I had

    Finished my second read of The Stand. What can you say about that book that has not already been said. Started CDs This Dark Chest of Wonders: 40 Years of Stephen King's The Stand and my first read of I Am Legend begins tonight.
