Just finished Falling Angel which was quite the fun read. Starting Suffer The Children by John Saul since I received a CD ARC of it and it is something I never thought about reading before.

Red Dragon, by Thomas Harris. It’s a reread, but I’ve only read it once about 25 years ago. I remember liking it, but there are a lot of details I’ve forgotten. The writing holds up.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through now, and it's *very* good. I remembered it being good, but not this good.Read it last year for the first time and I really enjoyed it.

More Better Deals by Joe Lansdale. He is one of the best writers of dialogue going and his stories aren't too shabby either!
I finished Bag of Bones. It had some of my favorite King writing but definitely nowhere near my favorite King story. Good ending.
Finished Gone To See The River Man by Kristopher Triana. I loved it.
Finished Three Body problem, and The Dark Forest, Halfway through Death's End by Cixin Liu. The best Sci-Fi trilogy that I have read since The Passage.
Although I guess The Passage is more horror than Sci-fi.
Looking for Pierce Brown Red Rising #557 from Subterranean Press
Finishing up The Five by Robert McCammon. Very solid story, one of my favs by him so far.

Started House of Leaves. I'm enjoying portions of it, but also hating portions of it so far.
I'm also continuing on with my winter horror reads with The Eleventh Floor by Shani Struthers. Has anyone read any of her books? I read another around Christmastime that I loved, and another one that I didn't care for as much. Enjoying this one so far, and thinking of checking out some more, just not sure what ones to pick up.

I read the first two books. The first one was great, but Dark Forest was amazing. I keep putting off Death's End because I've been focusing on horror. But I can't wait to read it.Finished Three Body problem, and The Dark Forest, Halfway through Death's End by Cixin Liu. The best Sci-Fi trilogy that I have read since The Passage.
Although I guess The Passage is more horror than Sci-fi.
I finished The Girl Next Door (Jack Ketchum) and Full Brutal by Kristopher Triana.
Girl Next Door was good. Obviously a horrendous story. I didn't love the sympathetic main character.
Anyone else read Kristopher Triana's books? He makes Bachman seem like RL Stein (in terms of violence/sex/gore). I heartily recommend Gone To See The River Man. It was fantastic. I really liked Full Brutal too -- although it got so extreme that it dilutes the impact a little.
^^ This.

Sidhartha by Herman Hesse - I try to mix in some old classics every now and then,
Just finished The Bank by Bentley Little and loved it 'til the end. The ending was weak. Altogether though this is my third Bentley Little book and I like his style.
Next up might be a King re-read, though not sure which one - plenty to choose from, but for sure will pick one I've only read once!

Dark Matter is excellent, as is his latest Recursion, which I think is even better. Plus alot of his earlier books are really good. Honestly I don't think you'll be disappointed in anything you pick up by himI hear that Dark Matter is pretty excellent. It's on my list.Feev you should read Summer Frost. It's nothing new idea wise, but I think it's one you would really enjoy.
Garrell, I don't know if you ever read on a kindle, but a lot of his older books are available on KU. Also there's a whole slew of short stories based off of the world he created in Wayward Pines that build on the story. They're all written by different authors. I've read a handful and some were pretty good. They're all available on KU as well.

Just read the synopsis on Amazon - SOLD! It's in my cart, will in all likelihood be my next book
Just finished my first reading of The Colorado Kid in anticipation of Later. I'm not sure how to feel about it, lol. Stephen King said you'll either love it or hate it, but I'm truly in the middle. I can see why people like it, just as much as they might hate it. We'll see how I remember the book with the passage of time
I feel somewhat ambivalent about the novels written during King's "novels don't need a satisfying ending" kick. CK was one of those, I think.
