I read that many many years ago in junior high, quite liked it.View attachment 2483231
Well this one just jumped onto my "Faves" list!
I actually read it in one day. I just finished!
178 pages so it wasn't too hard to do...
Just started "The Stalin Affair. The Impossible Alliance that Won the War" by Giles Milton. One of my favourite authors.
That looks like it will be interesting, thanks for pointing it out. Be sure to let us know what you think after you finish!
Two related books I liked:

The Deadly Embrace
“So firmly based upon a close reading of the secondary literature and printed documents, as well as upon archival soundings and interviews, and told with such a sense for the essential drama of the story, that it is easily the most comprehensive and the most interesting history of the...

The books were enjoyable and that show has been following along relatively closely to the books, which is strange as normally TV and Movie writers think they have a better vision for these stories then what the author had.I started reading the 3 books that the Silo series is based on. I understand it will take another 2 years for the final conclusion. I do not want to wait this long
True. I found the same. I am in the middle of the first book.
Started reading The Morning Star by Karl Ove Knausgård:
It's the first in a series; 3 have been translated into English, but Knausgård is apparently already working on the 6th. The basic premise is a strange star appears in the sky and is accompanied by unexplainable and menacing things happening in the world. The book follows several characters as they observe and react to these things. It's bizarre, unsettling, and I'm liking it.

I highly recommend this novel
the plot/subject has not happened yet,
but the story was written very real as that did!
Just finished The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell. He is probably better known for Cloud Atlas, and there is definitely a common style between the two novels. It was very very good. It follows a women from adolescence through old age. It includes many fantasy elements and it does have a bit of a dystopian feel to it. At a times, it’s a bit challenging to follow the shifting perspective of the narrative, but well worth the effort.
I gotta be honest, that is the single most confusing reader review I've ever seen...
thanks!
ummm the novel is based on advanced future AI
set in today's world.
the book is incredible as all his others.
I'm not saying I'm not intrigued ...
Just started reading Confederacy of Dunces. 4 chapters in and it is probably the funniest book I have ever read, and the story of how it was published is amazing as well. Really well written and the author brings everything to life, a shame he died so young and that it took his mom getting it to someone to read before any publisher would touch this masterpiece.
The writing itself or the characters? I can see not liking the characters, they are certainly not good people.
