I'm reading Double Feature by Owen King. The books is okay, but for me it's somewhat hard to read and follow. Double Feature is my first read by Owen King. Maybe the more I read it the better in following the book for me. I think I'm passed the halfway mark of the book.

I just finished reading "The Martian", and can easily classify that book as one of my all-time favorites. During my masters degree in space systems engineering, we studied the steps required to survive on Mars, so to read all those same steps and more in a novel was extremely gratifying. I can't wait to watch the movie.

I just got the 5th game of thrones book in the mail and I am SUPER EXCITED

WranglerMichelle, if you enjoy that book, check out Marcelo in the Real World by Franscisco X Stork. It's also told from the POV of an autistic person. I enjoyed both these books.

Thanks for the recommendation, @PaytraB! I'll have to add it to my list. It might be on there already . . . I can't keep 'em all straight. But I'll definitely check it out!

I am currently reading The Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski.

NOSSMF-I just finished reading "The Martian"

Read this last year, loved it! was on the edge of my seat the entire time..too bad I loathe what's his face, the actor, in the role..

the 24/7 blogging by Matt of his entire life and thoughts is trendy… the joke is that Matt Damon has been rescued like 8 times in several movies..including Interstellar, which came out last year.

so yes. the book is better

Watch this review…droll and snarky!

I just finished The Lower River by Paul Theroux, which was really good. I've now started Saint Mazie by Janni Attenberg. It's too early to tell about this one yet.

Currently reading my life with Jacqueline Kennedy by Mary Gallagher

I'm so happy to see new posts on this thread. I do love books.

Recently read The Millionaire and the Bard. It has a slow first chapter or two but then it picked up and I really enjoyed it. It was an introduction to people I previously knew nothing about. I have requests into my library for a couple of Paul Theroux's travel memiors. And I will soon be reading Herman Wouk's The Lawgiver. I have high hopes for that one.

I am currently reading The Night Circus by Erin Morganster

I read this a couple of years ago. It was certainly engaging. Kept me thinking. I enjoyed it. But I must confess to being a little confused at the end. It must have been a little over my head

Currently reading The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency book 1 by Alexander McCall Smith.
Very light reading. Set in Gaborone, Botswana. Enjoying it so far

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, and Tortuga by Rudolpho Anaya. Both very good so far. I'm starting my own kind of happiness project & its been very good for me. Tortuga, I love magical realism in Latin lit & this does not disappoint!

@PaytraB It was on BookBub recently so I got it for a steal! I loved Bless Me, Ultima, & I'm glad I picked it up.

Bindi… more amazing science fiction with so much heart you want to hug the protagonist. Can having the world's thickest dreadlocks brings two totally alien cultures together?

An African tribal girl whose people coat their bodies and hair with red clay goes off to space adventures because she is a math brainiac…and thru her compassion may save two planets from more war…so beautifully detailed culturally it could be 500BC, instead of 3900 AD/galactic period. LOVE LOVE LOVE the tenderness and warmth this character shows to another alien culture, looking like jellyfish…I am now reading another book of hers, she's an English professor in NY, Nnedi Okorafor American born, of Nigerian heritage. won many awards, Bindi is more YA, but I loved it as an adult reader.

Currently working my way through Writing 21st century fiction by Donald Maass
