    Give American Gods a try. That one is a page turner, no matter what you like. 

    The Ocean at the End of the Lane is another one—and it’s very short, less than 200 pages.

    Ocean is such an amazing read.  He really is a special writer.

    I have a singed copy of AG that an Awesome person here gifted to me.  :)

    Despite pressing on to about 1/3 of the way through, I gave up on Seven Years in Tibet. How that got chosen to be made into a movie staring a popular actor is beyond me.

    So now I'm giving this one a shot. Not my favorite topic but it's Krakauer so it can't be bad!




    it’s great. one of the brothers passed away in prison a couple of days ago.

    for me, give me the dirt!

    Still this one. read 50 pages. 

    And also:


    @spiri@Spiritual_Chaos is this your first time reading The Dark Knight?  I remember when this first came out and Miller turned the comics world upside down and we got to see some truly great writing in comics going forward.

    What did you think?

    Mind you this was groundbreaking 30 years ago.

    Ocean is a great book. I always wish his stories were a bit longer because I love them so much.

    Thankful for this thread for turning me on to Neil Gaiman. Happened upon the following at a second-hand shop. Fantastic! Read it in one sitting.

    Yes, that book was killer. 

    Just read this:

    In the middle of this -- saw the trailer for the HBO series based on it (starting in Jan) and it looked badass, so I moved this up to the front of the line -- "Good King" thus far:

    Just picked up this on recently.  I loves Pete's autobiography but 40 pages into this I'm feeling like it's just so-so, so far (cool cover though!):

    Flea’s new book! Loving it so far, so kooky! Never realised how insightful he is. 🤔
