"The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde...Finally started it and highly recommend, if you are a lover of mysterious stories.

I bet that is good. Dorian has been portrayed in movies and TV SOOO many times (hits and misses) and his is an interesting tale.

I agree. Pass on Alan Quatermain, though

Space Opera

So I finished all the Herris Serrano/Esmay Suiza space opera stuff.
What's a good horror genre book that doesn't involve children?
I hate child abuse.

Nothing?

 

[Dngrsone]

Nothing?

I don't read a lot of horror; maybe Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

I've read some Dean Koontz and enjoyed it. What's Odd Thomas about?

A young man who sees ghosts, and also demons who gravitate toward people who are about to die. He is melancholy, and sometimes unreliable as a narrator, but the story is a good one. Koontz has something like eight books in the series plus a bunch of novellas

Interesting synopsis @Dngrsone. Thanks.

Northworld Trilogy - David Drake
From the 90s.

 

[Dngrsone]

Just finished Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. Very interesting, and amazing what one man can accomplish. I was thinking about starting Machine by Elizabeth Bear next, but I am listening to Elizabeth Moon right now in Audio, so maybe I will go the fantasy route instead... nah. I will start another non-fic: Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch

Never listen to your favorite authors. They will disappoint you.

[Milo Williamson]

Picked up and been editing the crap for today's modern English, for Merchant of Vinnce, Shakesphere,
still on Dr. Sleep, keep re examinging the pages as well, picked up Fairly tale a few novels, also Attack on (of) Titan (I call it off, since I do not know if it a city named Titan though, I just keep it in my head as of since it is titans who are attacking)

 

[Milo Williamson]

Finished Attack of titan, also will finished up my two Farily Tail novels pretty soon too, the one that I cannot finish is Tokyo Goul... Just no thanks.

 

[NightAngel79]

Decided to read The Hobbit... It's been a minute

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn, 2021
Awesome book about three women who worked at Bletchley Park. If you're a WWII history fan this a great, fictional story from a U.K. point of view, with parallels to actual war events as they occurred. It also brings up very insightful aspects to the Official Secrets Act, a lot of people had to make very profound personal sacrifices.

 

[NightAngel79]

Jumped into last book of Mistborn Era 2 (Wax & Wayne 4). LOVED this series in a way that surprised me.

Now I've started Secret Project #1 from Sanderson, Tress of the Emerald Sea.

 

[Milo Williamson]

Right now, just jumping into the Watchmen franchise with Before Watchmen, Silk Specture and Minute men is pretty amazing.

 

[olbriar]

I'm reading everything offered about WWII on Prime Unlimited at around three books per week clip.

 

[NightAngel79]

Just started the Jade Empire (Green Bone Saga)after hearing about it from booktubers and so far it is rather good, a bit different fantasy that I'm used to though.

You bought my autobiography~! Thanks!!

The Batman that laughs, part two on google books currently!!!

 

[Milo Williamson]

I did read a few Satanism books, one of the guide throughout all different kinds of it, (It is about mind trickery not the devils themselves, and yes we do have cake and ice cream, cookies and milk time too, so yeah we know how to relax too) And I kind of switch up from the stones of Levayism to different aspects of it as well. Stil I was reading through Dr. Sleep and yes, it is taking me ages to re read through eveerything.. One of those mistake purchases I thought it was of my ex fiance, you all know by now, who I am taking about.. But that just sort of fizzled out throughout that letters too. But after re reading Dr. Sleep a half book complete, it is more enjoyable this time around..
Hopefully the movie and t.v. show will be a lot better..

I'm about a third of the way through 'Kristin Lavransdatter set in 14th Century Norway. Apart from following the title character through her life from childhood, it shows the uneasy relationship between Norway and Sweden, also how pervasive the church's influence was in all things.
