I really enjoyed Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell. His follow up to it, Wild Thing, I'm not so sure about yet.

I read 100 years of solitude. Eh, not my favorite.

Yeah, that was my take as well.

Rereading Dune right now.

On the third book of the Gentlemen Bastards series...aka the Lies Locke Lamora series.  It's decent, wasn't a waste of time, but definitely not as good as quite a few other fantasy series I would recommend first.

Any have any great fantasy or scifi series to recommend that we haven't already covered?

[Mrs. Gooch]

I am reading City of Mirrors. The third in The Passage Trilogy. It took a little bit to remember what had happened in the previous books, but it is pretty good.

Have you read any Phillip K Dick?

not series, but lots to choose from.  I really liked Ubik.

Ready Player One by Cline is a pretty fun little read. If you are a video game nerd, you'd like it I bet.

Just did American Pastoral by Roth, not as fun. Interesting dismantling of the American Dream though.

Doing Cloudsplitter now

[Cartierfor3]

Also, Dodgers by Bill Beverly. Crime novel about gangs and whatnot. I've never read that genre but it was ok, if anyone has favs in that world let me know.

A Scanner Darkly is great! Also read his short story collections too

[Brock Landers]

Command and Control by Eric Schlosser, the same guy who also wrote Fast Food Nation.  It's a recap of America's efforts to secure our nuclear arsenal.

The fact that a nuke hasn't gone off by accident yet is probably due to luck rather than human intervention.

Wil Wheaton narrating the audio book is amazeballs.

Do you like true crime, or just a fiction brah?

Either. I've done a few true crime recently (Ghettoside by Levoy, The Central Park Five by Burns,) and I'd be interested in more. Crime fiction is just never a genre I've dipped into

[Cartierfor3]

Ghettoside by Levoy is really good by the way if you want a good read that shows how police departments and murder in the inner city work. Great storytelling

[star seed 7]

Well my fav true crime is mafia stuff

Wiseguy - henry hill story, what goodfellas is based on

Gangland - fbi accounts of their investigation/surveillance of john gotti. Very interesting

I'm enjoying Dune

Tim Geithner's book was OK. The parts about Dodd-Frank were especially interesting to me.

Also reading Sapiens. Good so far.

Sapiens is one I have heard a lot of good things about, but reading the description doesn't make me want to read it.

i have read approximately two chapters of Torture the Artist by Joey Goebel and it has me firmly by the balls. great writing and so far a fanciful and interesting premise. i can't wait to read the rest. is this how this thread works?

[star seed 7]

After two years of off and on reading I'm done with game of thrones. Like 16% done with the available series!

[CHONGS]

Finished Wind Up Bird Chronicle.  I really enjoyed it.

Just started reading a book which is a combination of The Hunger Games and The Bachelor.

[CNS]

That sounds horrible.

was it called the hunger games because the hunger games is basically a combo of the hunger games and the bachelor

In this book women have to fight to the death in order to win a man (because there are so few men). Also, the men are slaves.
