DID WE ALL FORGET TO CARRY ON READING BOOKS?

Oh boy. Is this because you eschew books that only have pictures?

I'm getting back into reading fiction for the first time in several years, I've just started in on Mistborn after having it recommended by a few people. So far I'm really enjoying it.

The Brandon Sanderson series? They are very good, I think they get even better after the first trilogy when he moves on to a sort of wild west fantasy world.

Brandon Sanderson is so popular he set off a bunch of fraud triggers on his recent Kickstarter.

Enjoyed Bob Mortimers debut, The Satsuma Complex. Looking forward to reading his second.

I saved that in my to buy folder when I have another spazz attack and buy another bundle.

I have just finished reading Gideon by Russell Andrews. It's a thriller from 1999 that just happened to be gathering dust in my library when my mother on her visit picked it out for me to read. It was totally pulpy and rollicking good fun. A Metaphor for Media Companies having too much power and influence wrapped up in a political thriller. Complete nonsense and I enjoyed it greatly.

I am trying to diversify and read lots of different genres and am now picking up "Born A Crime", the Trevor Noah biography. Should be an interesting read.

Chicago: On the edge of my seat.

Thanks also for the recommendation. I finished this earlier in the week - incredible read.

So I have finished Trevor Noah's book and am about to embark on Say Nothing. I know Karl Mark has read it and highly recommended it but should I read the book first and then watch the Television series or vice versa? Anybody have some views on that as I am more inclined to wait on the telly and read first.

Chicago: Umming and Awing.

Book first. Adaptations are always different, but often provide more closure. I watched The Night Manager on TV before reading the book; very different endings, but then Le Carre likes to end his books with a lot of things unresolved.

Currently reading The Odessa File. Haven't seen the movie, so will give it a go once I've finished the book.
