Books

[multi-useless]

I went through a big phase of post-apocalyptic fiction books a few years back. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, but they're hard to read a 2nd time when you already know what's going to happen. A few years before that I was on an H.G Wells kick for a short while.

Then there are a few books I've read over and over. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is probably at the top of that list.

Just finished animal farm for the 5th or 6th time. Still one of my all time favorites. Amazing the differences that a decade has made since the first time I read it

I love post apocalyptic earth stories. I'm on book 2 of the Divergent Series (Insurgent) and I absolutely love it.

There is something to be said about someone that reads only post apocalyptic stories. It's as if I won't be happy until the world comes to an end.

We are all equal brother, but some of us are more equal....

That series just bummed me... Youll see, lol. Good stories though.

I'll usually reach for SciFi/Fantasy, but I'm about done reading Jean Le Carre's A most Wanted Man with the evening smoke.

This came in the mail a few days ago. His earlier book, "Two Wheels Through Terror" was a great read.

Here's a book that I'm still reading.

I'm with Angry Bill, I read the Bible every day and I am a voracious reader across all genres.

I'm a huge R. A. Salvatore fan. The Dark Elf series especially. Also John Scalzi (mainly the old mans war series) and Steven king (dark tower series especially was masterful!) I've been trying to crack into the wheel of time series but not much time lately. Then there's sword of truth series by terry goodkind which is captivating as well. And lee child's jack reacher. (I got on a kick for a while where I'd rip through a book every few days before I started my painting company. The time just doesn't seem to be there any more

Finished Insurgent, it was very enjoyable. Started on a sample of the third book, had to put it down.

Since I've read Artie Lange's Too Fat To Fish. It was good but not what I expected. Now I'm about 90% through Hunger Games.

I'm reading Stephen King's Doctor Sleep right now. Finished Tom Clancy/ Mark Grey's Full Force And Effect. Gonna try to pick up the new Tom Clancy (that was written by some one else) Under Fire next week.

Mockingjay is such a snoozefest, I didn't even bother to finish it.

I like the hunger games series. But I read them before everyone was influenced by the movies. The movies seem a little silly to me.

 

[welder572]

I watched the first hunger games movie with my daughter in law. I haven't read the book (and probably won't) but I would guess the book would have to be infinitely better than the movie. The movie was a waste of two hours of my life.

 

[Sirspanksalot]

The first book was really good, also read it pre movies.

One book to movie I feel they really screwed up was Enders Game, they could have made that into such an epic movie

I liked Scalzi until I saw how he went after Larry Correia. Larry is a stand up guy and Scalzi tried to ruin Larry's name and reputation with out right lies. Now I can't read Scalzi. I just can't separate the man from the material.

On that note, I recently finished up American Sniper and started Half-Resurrection Blues by Daniel Jose Elder.
