Hotter than your average...

I really need to get cracking on some of the books I bought and haven't touched yet. Top of the list is "Armada" by Ernest Cline. If it's anywhere in the ballpark of how good "Ready Player One" was (I know, I shouldn't have such high expectations), I'll be pleasantly surprised.

I need to check out that Ready Player One. Been intrigued by it since you first mentioned it. |

It's by far the best book of the post-millennium that I've read, at least from a fiction standpoint. (My reads tend to gravitate towards autobiographies, memoirs, and sports/pop culture history, so I freely admit I'm not the typical "well-read" type.) |

At some point I'm going to check it out...I have a ridiculous backlog on my iPad, though. Talking 20-30 books. Haha |

I love the song of ice and fire series. But I really like GRRMs' Wild Card series as well. |

I am a fan of Black Library which produces the Warhammer 40k books. I am a fan of author Dan Abnett writer of the "First and Only" Guants Ghost along with a few others, though Abnett's my favorite. |

Stephen King's Dark Tower series is one of my all time favorites. |

I told Joyce this the other day, but I'm a MASSIVE Stephen King fan. Picked that up from my mom...inherited her collection when she passed away and have continued it in the seven years since. I own every single hardback book he's ever written. Tim - Absolutely agreed. Although I wasn't really a fan of inserting himself into the series. |

Maybe its the kid in me or my interest in Greek mythology but I enjoy the Percy Jackson/heroes of olyumpus book series. I read them through at least once a year and I'm due. |

Totally missed this, lol. For anyone that doesn't know already, I've self-published several indie horror novels/collections over the past year. Check them out at www.facebook.com/JMHorrorFiction And in terms of what I'm reading now, just recently finished Bird Box by Josh Malerman. I'd highly recommend it for horror fans...creepy/atmospheric story. |

And along with him, I know Tim was working on a book. And Joyce knew, but I'm also working on two books. |

I've been working on a book in my head for six years. I doubt it ever gets past that stage though. Haha |

I've been reading Game of Thrones for about 8 months now. Partly because I only read it while getting my every 6 week treatment... though I should read it more frequently. Just been lazy. |

I'm now reading two new books: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski...just finished it. Absolute mind twister. Loved it. And now I'm working on The Troop by Nick Cutter. It's great so far. Edited by Indrid Calder, Feb 3 2016, 10:52 PM.
