  • Read any Good Books Lately?

    I got a ton of great suggestions from this thread back on the mane. Since at least half of that thread was about Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time I thought it I should bring it back with Amazon releasing the WOT trailer. Bezos told his people to go find the next GOT. They may have pulled it off.

    It was ok, a little over the top on the blood and gore but a good story.

      Reading American Tabloid for I think the 4th time. Ellroy at his peak, just amazing stuff.

                I spend so much time reading for work that I really don't read for pleasure much. I'd rather vegetate with YouTube.

                Last book I read was "Centennial", which was fine but didn't leave much of an impression.

                    Have you tried audio books? They have basically replaced music for me. If I am alone in the car or at the gym or walking the dog it is usually an audio book in my ear.

                      I think audio books are too slow, compared to reading. I drive so little and when I'm riding or walking, I don't use headphones (gotta be able to hear) so audio books just don't work for me.
