    I have a book on blues guitar and another on how to make electric guitars sound great. I'm learning how to do my own guitar maintenance.

    Hi there Devestator, We seem to have a couple of similar interests, having just seen your comments in another group on my recent conversion from rice cakes to avocado. Nice sense of humor (yes?) :naughty:

    Well I play guitar really badly (the neighbors love me), I'm learning Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry which I always thought was a great tune, and I am doing low carb because I'm so fat but I'm losing weight again. :) The sense of humor is a work in progress, I'm actually reading a comedy writing book on my kindle that I received as a gift.

    I just finished an advance copy of a book coming out in summer called I Am Still Alive. I loved it and would definitely recommend it for anyone enjoyed Hatchet.

    I am currently reading the short story collection The Starlit Wood. Very nice. There are plenty of books of reimagined fairy tales out there, but most of these take it a bit further and get a bit weirder with it. Like re-imagining Hansel and Gretel as a near-future sci-fi about the roommate of a drug manufacturer semi-adopting a pair of abused kids who wander into their apartment and start sampling the goods.

    I've just started William Gibson's The Peripheral, trying to get back into his writing style.

    Currently reading Artemis by Andy Weir. I love it, though I'm not as hooked straight away as I was with The Martian.

    Tearing my way through The Dark Tower; currently about 25% of the way through Wizard and Glass. I was inspired to finally pick it up after a hilarious rant from my girlfriend about how *kitten* the movie was. It’s been her favorite series of books since she was a young teenager.

    Normally I can breeze through Stephen King books, and I enjoyed the Dark Tower books, but I had a really hard slog getting through this one.

    Wizard and Glass was a long slog for me, too. I thought I was the only one who didn't love it. Most say it's their favorite of the series.
