Spoilers What Book Are You Reading?

To me this is similar to "wanting to have sex faster", the pleasure is on the process, not on the culmination. Why would you want to read faster?
I think it's more appropriate to reading study manuals rather than for pleasure (if you get my meaning?).
Just wondering if anyone else has read S. by JJ Abrahms. After my experience with it, normal novels just look boring lol. Found out about it after trying to find something similar to House of Leaves which was another amazing experience!
The title seems so … fitting … right now …Just started:
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
Yes, it does, doesn't it?
Earlier this week, I sought refuge in some fantasy, and Robin Hobb stepped up and supplied the needful.
After seeing the movie (2018) and then reading Red Sparrow (2013), and being hooked, a story primarily about US-Russian espionage with other players, I am now about a third of the way through Palace of Treason (2016) the sequel. Red Sparrow must be read first.
This book is tense and exciting so far. Nate Nash a CIA officer and Dominica Erogova a Russian KVR agent (successor to KGB), have a relationship, a steaming hot relationship. There are a couple of human monsters in this series and this book prominently features Vladimir Putin as one of the characters, and it sounds right on tone as to what I think I know about him. Of interest, as I read this book I picture Natasha Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) as Dominka. Too much Avengers pollution.

After Halo 5 and halo wars 2 and right before the new game.... there’s two books before this one too
The books before Shadows of Reach is Halo Bad Blood (right after Halo 5) and Halo Legacy of Onyx takes place during Halo 5
There is a few wild cards but I’ll give you one spoiler... Atriox was able to escape the Ark (Halo Wars 2) and I think he plans to do something about Cortana
the UNSC and Halsey got their own plans but everything is started to mesh

The Left-Handed Booksellers of London - by Garth Nix has just arrived (and no, not Amazon, from my local bookstore, and sent in the post).
Just finished "Red sparrow" last night. I liked it, it was an engrossing lecture, but the recipes were somehow an odd thing to read, I felt they interrupted the flow of the narrative. After 1 finish with "the prisoner of heaven" I'll continue wit the second book, got all 3 of them.
not a big Abram’s fan, but I also thought House of leaves was incredible. If you think that S is in the same class, I’ll have to check it out
S. is in a whole other class lol. Let me know if you decide to read it. There are a couple of tips to tell that make it easier starting off. I didn't mention it's like house of leaves but with an ARG element to it so it costs a little extra since you are getting so many supplements, pics, cards and letters as well.

Actually, personally, I think that Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin series is a lot better.
I‘ve read both, and like both. But, I agree, O‘Brian‘s Aubrey/Maturin series is a class of its own.
I also really liked the movie that’s based on it, Master & Commander - The far side of the world.
