The Orchid Thief was a pretty quick read. I just started The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin.

I just started The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin.

I _loved_ this book. I recall it being a bit disorienting in the beginning — if you find it to be that way too, my advice is don’t give up!

Thanks for the heads up! I only got a few pages in today and it was different lol. I'm intrigued now.

Lock Every Door - Riley Sager

"The Flight. Confessions of an Argentine dirty warrior" - Horacio Verbitsky

 

[Ezeerider]

The Great Glorious Goddamn of it All - Josh Ritter

Hah, me too! I'd just stopped in to post that when I saw yours.

Besides some truly lyrical writing in there, well, how the hell are you gonna resist a title like that?

Sounds like some of my days!

"The Chaos Kind" by Barry Eisler. A John Rain mystery.

Soul Deep by Lora Leigh.

Highly recommend anything by her. She writes some very steamy and detailed sex scenes.

I’m going to re-read Dune. I don’t like it. My dad made me read it when I was 12 or 13.
So many people I love, love Dune.
Another shot, 40 years later.

I reread it last year. It's not so daunting as it's reputation. Actually quite light on the hardcore sci-fi, but a convincing setting. Definitely a product of its time though. Be interesting to hear what you make of it.

Dream Girl - Laura Lippman

Same book as a month ago
I need to stop coming to Lit!

 

[Sundayschild]

Well. I’ve already read it and don’t care for it. So. Doing it again because yada yada yada not going to repeat the post I just made.

I merely meant that after 20+ ahem years had passed you might have different opinions now. I changed my mind about it after a mere 5 year gap. It's such a remove from the classic Heroes' journey I'm actually surprised that it's been made into 2 movies (and a series).

I audiobooked it…wish I had the newer edition book with me to keep track of names and relations/religions

Dune that is

I am currently reading Greg Hendrix books. On “My best friend’s exorcism” right now.

Re-reading one of my all time favourites for maybe the 15th time; City of Joy by Dominique Lapierre.

Sounds like you really enjoy it.

Sadly, I didn’t notice the pun until after I posted this.

"Three Minutes to Doomsday: An Agent, a Traitor, and the Worst Espionage Breach in U.S. History" by Joe Navarro

I don't like his style of writing. Reads like a diary without being one.
But I am interested in the subject so I'm reading it.

A Head Full Of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay

Very Stephen King-esque. I like it so far.

 

[OxfordJack]

The Throwback - Tom Sharpe

 

[Orchidea73]

I Complici - Lirio Abate, Peter Gomez

"Three Minutes to Doomsday: An Agent, a Traitor, and the Worst Espionage Breach in U.S. History" by Joe Navarro

I don't like his style of writing. Reads like a diary without being one.
But I am interested in the subject so I'm reading it.

Quit reading it at the 3rd chapter. Bad writing style.
