*waving to Sinny and Mona* Hi girls!

Riles - do you have a favorite genre? Do you have any strong dislikes?

Hey Tinks!

I don't have a favourite exactly, I'm pretty much willing to try anything. But it has to fit the time and concentration level I can dedicate. Right now, nothing to heavy as I'm reading during night shifts where the whole place is near dark and silent other than the sound of O2 machines and breathing.

That said, I'm not much of a sci-fi fan - books or movies actually. They tend to freak me out.

christopher moore has a few really funny books, i'd recommend "fluke" and "lamb".

"into thin air" is a pretty riveting non-fic about an ill-fated group climb up mt. everest. very well-written

"catch-22" is a classic, funny but also poignantly anti-war in its own way

i could recommend more, but it helps to know a bit about what you prefer, n stuffs.

I like the Thieves' World series.

Great thread! I'm writing a lot of these down.

I just finished 'The Martian', and I reccomend it. A good mixture of survival, sci-fi, and tech.

Fangirl and Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell are both recent favorites of mine. I can't wait to read her newest, Landline. And Wild by Cheryl Strayed was fantastic.

I listened to a podcast about that climb and meant to get the book but forgot, thanks for the reminder!

anything by James Lee Burke

I have a lot of his books. They are pretty good, but I got tired of the constant alcoholic angst. The main character also seems to lose SOs at a high rate.
