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.

"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.0 -

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?0 -

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.1 -

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.

Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill0

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?"1

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.1 -

I just finished watching Black Sails and it put me in the mood to read Treasure Island.1

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)1 -
