    I have been on a Gaiman kick for a few years now. He tells a really good story and is pretty clever with words.

    This is only the 2nd book that I have read from him and I plan on reading more. I agree with you, very good with words. I really like his style, very captivating.

    I'm reading An Edible History of Humanity. It's an archaeological and anthropological look into how basically the entirety of human society has been shaped by food, farming, food availability etc. It's really interesting and informative and not overly formal so it's a really accessible read. I highly recommend it.

    I’ve read and listened to American gods several times and the ocean at the end of the lane is one of my favorite stories.

    Does anyone read around here? Besides the threads of course... this is what I'm working on now.. it's wildly interesting, I'm nearly done.

    That’s one of the greatest books ever.

    I’m currently reading Principles by Ray Dalio.

    I just picked up Templar by Jordan Mechner and LeUyan Pham. Great graphic novel.

    I'm also reading Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.

    Finally gave in and read the inescapable 'Where The Crawdads Sing." Meh. I almost bailed midway from boredom but slogged on until the much-telegraphed ending. The author's publishing agent deserves a major private island bonus for propelling the book into the literary stratosphere.

    I'm reading The Choice by Dr. Edith Eger. Such a great book! I may have to buy my own copy.

    This is a good one. Also Games Criminals Play, which is not by the same author but...similar content. Mostly because criminals are...(wait for it!)....PEOPLE!

    I'm waiting for the the buzz to die down/off so I can have more reasonable expectations.

    This may be one of the rare exceptions where the film is better than the book.

    The Silent Patient
    Such a good book with an extraordinarily unexpected twist at the end.
