    Wow really I'm reading the same thing. Actually I'm reading the first book again because it's been a while and I just got a copy of the second book

    @clararandall If I was smart, I would've done that! I'm about halfway through Hollow City and just now remembering who each peculiar is.

    Slogging my way through Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. It is supposedly a life changing classic but I am finding it a bit meandering and plotless

    Skyjack: The Hunt for DB Cooper.

    I have a fascination with true crime and this is an interesting story to say the least

    Just finished Morning Star by Pierce Brown.

    This was the 3rd book of his Red Rising trilogy. As expected, it was fantastic and actually ended satisfyingly good! These books are a nice cross between technological space war and down in the mud fantasy. It's a cross between Peter F. Hamilton and Joe Abercrombie, in my opinion. (...and that's a huge compliment if you don't know those two authors!)

    Here's a top 5 list of books I've read in the past 10 years or so (no particular order):
    -Ender's Game by Orsen Scott Card
    -The Martian by Andy Reid
    -Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
    -Unbroken: A WWII Story by Laura Hillenbrand
    -The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

    ...moving on to a Brandon Sanderson Mistborn book next..

    This is really good to know. I've always felt like I "needed" to read it. But now I don't really feel like torturing myself.

    I'm a big fan of sci-fi, especially of the dystopia or doomsday type, if anyone has read anything lately they would recommend, please advise!

    Also, for any of the books that anyone is reading, would you mind giving a little one-liner to describe what it's about, or at least genre? Please and thank you!

    Missoula by Jon Krakauer-rape scandal in Missoula, MT
    Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel- hard to tell exactly what's going on so far. Apocalypse and art?...

    Both are very good.

    Updraft by Fran Wilde
    Relatively new, having been published about a year ago, but I feel a new fantasy fiction bestseller in this book. It's beyond fantastic, one of the best stories I've ever read, and I've read LOTS.
