I'm still being cautious despite both inoculations. So over the last year I've read quite a few good books and I'm always on the lookout for good ones. Currently reading, Land of Big Numbers, by Te Chen, Wolves of the Calla, Stephen King for the umpteenth time. I always have a Stephen King on the go. I read about five books at a time. Also reading the Minuturist, Jessie Burton and Tokyo Year by David Peace, I think his name is.
I jump around as my mood suits me.

Used to be a reader way back. Only just started reading again as I've had to wait for transportation after med appts.
Reading Twilight book 2 in the series. I know, silly, but I've liked the vampire genre forever.
I did use to read Stephen King. How that man could dream up all those scary stories ...

I am a huge fan of Marie Force. Chic lit to some extent but she has multiple series in which the characters are very well developed and enjoyable to follow. Two are based in RI, one in VT, FL and another (my favorite ) Washington DC and a bunch of stand alone. She engages with her fans all the time on social media.

I read the Twilight series as well. I thought the books were really good.

Just had a look and I am afraid I draw the line at romantic fiction. Twilight was as close as I got because of the vampires ?

35 Books Every Man Should Read in His Lifetime
Most of the books, I was unaware except for the Invisible Man which I read in HS 50yrs ago and didn't understand --time to re-read it.
Pachinko looks good. Just ordered it from the library.

Has anyone read American Gods? I like the TV series but I'm interested to see how it compares to the book. I keep hearing it's a good read.
ETA: My daughter reads any and everything by James Patterson.

Are you talking about the one by Neil Gaiman? If it's that book, it's brilliant. Actually quite a few of his books are really very good.

Yes, Gaiman.

It's a great book. I also really like his children's stories. He's like a mash up of Terry Pratchett and the The Golden Compass author.

Interesting selection. Have only read 2 of the 35: Krakauer's "Into The Wild" which I did enjoy, and Arundhati Roy's "The God of Small Things" which absolutely has to be read.
Intrigued by his wine themed books, on which topic I would recommend this Nina Caplan's "The Wandering Vine"
An absolute delight for wine lovers.
Have just re-read for the umpteenth time my favourite books, Agota Kristof's "The Book of Lies" trilogy (comprising, "The Notebook," "The Proof" and "The Third Lie") Sometimes publised as "The Notebook Trilogy" - a very honest and horrifying work revealing just how depraved human nature can be. Definitely a must-read.
