    Check out "the adventure zone" podcast if you like the fantasy stuff! Any terry prachett or gaiman for you?

    I second this!! I just finished it up last week and it was really, really good. I liked it so much I supported the show by buying a Taako shirt, lol. :D

    "Intensity" by Dean Koontz. I started it about 20 years ago and got bored, so I didn't finish it. My Dad has been hassling me about that ever since because he thinks it's the greatest book ever, so I finally picked it back up this week and started over.

    It's not boring me this time, but it's not the greatest book ever, either.

    I can't believe you thought this was boring! This book had me in a sweat the entire time. If this is boring, then I would really love your recommendations for thrillers. Please?

    LOL! I can't explain why younger me was bored - I think it was more to do with the writing style than the story. The story is definitely an edge-of-your-set kind of thing, but the characters just don't do anything for me. If I think your main character is contrived and stupid, I don't really care if a psycho killer guts her, y'know?

    I have heard the movie was good, though. It's rare for the movie to be better than the book, but once in a while, an actor gives a character a little something that the author just couldn't. I'll probably watch this one after I finish he book.

    I really wish they'd put one up with Merle on it with the flowers in his beard and his Extreme Teen Bible. Just a warning, be prepared for onion ninjas toward the end of the campaign. I'm not an emotional person, but I bawled at the end.

    Just sayin'.

    Y Is For Yesterday by Sue Grafton, Making Money by Terry Pratchett, The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde and one of the Inspector Morse books I can't name just now. Can you say "short attention span?"

    1Q84 by Haruki Murakami

    I bought a used hardbound copy of this for a dollar.
    I'm looking at it right now. It just sits on an end table in our family room.
    Great author with great cover art.

    I believe the cover art is by a gentleman by the name of Chip Kidd; he's the best in the business.

    Dense is a good way to describe it.

    Just finished The Handmaid's Tale and have now started the princess diarist and anne of green gables. (I just watched Anne with an E on Netflix and I never read them as a kid, so I'm weirdly excited about it)

    Also for the kindle vs book conversation, I'll say it takes getting used to, but I went to the Peace Corps and there was just no way I was going to be able to take all the books I would need to keep me reading for the 2 plus years, and now I love it. Mostly for convience factor. I also LOVE the overdrive app, which lets me borrow books from the library instantly on my kindle. It's saved me so much time/money in the past few years. (Only book I bought was the cursed child, which.... I want my 20 dollars back)
