The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Someone mentioned the book on Lemmy and I guess I got curious. It's been pretty good thus far, but it is on the long side.
I just started Dan Abnett’s Warhammer 40k Inquisition series, starting with Pestilence.
I have Dan Abnett's Eisenhorn trilogy ordered, going to be my first Warhammer 40K book.
Same here. First Warhammer anything for me.
Ah cool, do let me know how you like it.
Where did you order it from? I only see it for crazy marked up prices
I just finished Raising Steam, and thus have completed the Discworld novels, bar the Science of thr Discworld books. What an adventure. I wasn't much of a reader going into it and it took me years to finish them all, but I am so glad I did it and proud I stuck with it all this time.
Just finished "The Lesser Dead" by Christopher Buehlman.
WONDERFUL vampire horror book.
I just finished two books by him (between two fires and blacktongue thief) and really enjoyed both. I'll add this one to my TBR list!
Deathlands as per usual, just did a couple of books this week.
I'm also right at the end of Mr Mercedes by Stephen King, it has been a pretty good read and a departure from the usual King I am used to being more of a detective novel but I have enjoyed it.
I'm going to start Flux, the third book in the Infinite series, tomorrow.
Still reading There Is No Antimemetics Division by qntm. It's taken quite the cosmic/eldritch horror turn in the second half, which is great.
I love the scp wiki and had not heard of this before, definitely going on my list. Thanks!
Still on the Brandon Sanderson train. After finally catching up with Stormlight and reading his excellent secret projects, I'm a little over a book in to mistborn.
Pretty far into death's end - the third part in the three body problem series by Cixin Liu. One of the few series I've read where I consider the sequels to be better than the first book.
I finally finished The Wheel of Time series! I took forever to get through the last book, longer than with any of the slog books, but I'm so happy to be done. I do wish the last book was more satisfying. It just felt very different in tone from the rest, partly I think due to Sanderson running out of source material. But there was still a lot I enjoyed across the whole series, so I don't regret putting the time into it.
I finished I Am Legend by Richard Matheson last night. My copy of the book contains a bunch of short stories by the author as well, so now I am reading through those. He is very effective at writing short, impactful horror.
Mr. Monk Goes to Hawaii by Lee Goldberg
Taking another crack at the Silmarillion. I picked up the "Illustrated by the Author" editions.
