Big book fan here! I'm doing my PhD in English so I pretty much get to read all day, which is great. I'm reading four books at the moment:
Rushing to Paradise by JG Ballard
The Mushroom at the End of the World by Anna Tsing
The Hollow Place by T. Kingfisher
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
(Can you tell I like spooky nature things?)0 -

It's a burner and a page-turner, and I believe it's on it's way to becoming a film.
Great book! Tremblay is excellent.0 -

A good fast read, strange story and didn't end the way I imagined it would but all in all well written and kept me entertained.0 -

Recently finished “Imaginary Friend” by Stephen Chbosky. So good!!! Highly recommend.
Now I’m halfway through “The Running Man” by Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) even though I just started it two nights ago.
Also re-reading “Wizard and Glass” (also by Stephen King).
I’ll give you three guesses who my favorite author is 🤣1 -

I'm almost through the new Grady Hendrix book, "How to Sell a Haunted House"
Anything Hendrix releases is an automatic read from me. This one is good, but I still think The Southern Bookclub's Guide to Slaying Vampires is his masterpiece0 -

Just finished Charlaine Harris' Lily Bard series. It was ok, not her best IMO. Good for light entertainment, but didnt evoke alot of emotional connection ot the characters and the mysteries were a little flat.
Reading Verity by Colleen Hoover - its good if you like a stomach clencher type read, stay away if you don't want to experience a really really dark side to motherhood.0 -

I agree about Lily Bard. It was okay. I'm not huge fan of Harris, though I've read a lot of her books. My experience with her work is the only time her characters really evoke much emotional connection...is loathing. Most of her characters are very wooden. The ones that aren't are dumb. I did like the Midnight Texas and Gunny Rose series, but those characters are also pretty stiff. Mostly, I like some of the ideas/world building.0 -
Just starting these0 -
Currently reading "Oona Out Of Order" So, far, so good. It's not like anything else I've read and I'm enjoying it.0

Leo Tolstoy On Life
Northwestern University Press, Nov 15, 2018 - Literary Collections - 264 pages
0 Reviews
In the summer of 1886, shortly before his fifty-eighth birthday, Leo Tolstoy was seriously injured while working in the fields of his estate. Bedridden for over two months, Tolstoy began writing a meditation on death and dying that soon developed into a philosophical treatise on life, death, love, and the overcoming of pessimism. Although begun as an account of how one man encounters and laments his death and makes this death his own, the final work, On Life, describes the optimal life in which we can all be happy despite our mortality.
After its completion, On Life was suppressed by the tsars, attacked by the hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church, and then censored by the Stalinist regime. This critical edition is the first accurate translation of this unsung classic of Russian thought into English, based on a study of manuscript pages of Tolstoy's drafts, and the first scholarly edition of this work in any language. It includes a detailed introduction and annotations, as well as historical material, such as early drafts, documents related to the presentation of an early version at the Moscow Psychological Society, and responses to the work by philosophers, religious leaders, journalists, and ordinary readers of Tolstoy's day0 -
