Lunacy What Are You Reading?

So many books so little time,
I've been Diving into a short series called Nameless by Dean Koontz on Audible, creepy.
What are my fellow VA Inmates reading?

"WHAT A PLANT KNOWS" Its a book that explains a plants sensory systems. It's a easy to read and understand book about plants. How they react to stimulus and each other.

I'm a mystery buff. I've just started 'Turning Angel' by Greg Iles; an author a very good friend turned me onto.

@Helios I've read a lot of Dean Koontz's early stuff. Do you like Stephen King as well?

Another author I read, back in my Koontz days, was Clive Barker. 'Weaveworld' was my favorite of his books.

Do you like Stephen King as well?

yes, it's,hit or miss with SK, some books he loses me on, The Stand was Prbly one of my favorites. Gunslinger was good too. Mr.Mercedes he lost me on after his first of the series.
yes! Weaveworld was awesome! Love CB. Read 'Great and Secret Show' amazing story. Scary too. I got to meet him in the 90's, cool guy.

The Stand was Prbly one of my favorites.

Mine too! Again; I liked his early stuff way more than the later works. Once he started actually writing for screenplay it lost me. I think the Dead Zone was probably the last book I enjoyed of his.

Brandon Sanderson fans, he's come out with 'Skyward'
it's more Sci-fi from his normal fantasy Epics.

Skyward (Skyward, #1)

Defeated, crushed, and driven almost to extinction, the remnants of the human race are trapped on a planet that is constantly attacked by...

2020 goal is to read at least 2 books a month, just picked up Blake Crouch new mind bender, ' Recursion' about false memory syndrome, this author is truly out there. I would also include for those curious his other book 'dark matter'. Fast reads, 1-2 sittings.

I'm reading, "The Great Leader" by Jim Harrison. My favorite author who recently died. RIP Jim.

A lot of geographical references to my home state, Michigan. It's about a retired detective chasing a cult leader (the great leader).

Ted Chiang 'Exhalation'
A collection of short stories.. Outside of box thinking with hints of Sci fi exististentionalism. Interesting reads no doubt about it.

Einstein by Walter ISSACOV? Decent read

Einstein: "The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Many scholars consume CANNABIS?

Currently reading "Into that Darkness from mercy killing to mass murder" by Gitta Sereny.

An absolutely fascinating study on Operation Reinhard during the Holocaust. Based on perpetrators & survivors interviews with the author & historical records it is not an easy book to read but essential reading for anyone interested in the subject.

@Stevenski interesting.
Reading 'City of Thieves' by acclaimed GOT writer David Benioff, surprisingly funny, yet dark at grim realities during the siege of leningrad. Highly recommend for folks who like WW Historical fiction.

I read more than most!
GEORGE ORWELL JAMES JOYCE, CARL SAGAN come to mind! (The list is long not to Bragg?)

80% non-fiction 20% fiction + CANNABIS 2-B reading fast however understanding the content!
Is Gitty Serenity a important read?
Bernard LEVY (geo-politics) grew up in NORTH Africa (I like his content) live’s in PARIS, FRANCE & MANHATTAN, NY - USA)

The siege of Leningrad was absolutely brutal. My book reading tends to heavily lean towards non fiction.

Next book up is called "A handful of hard men, the SAS & the battle for Rhodesia" but I love military history & biographies most of all.
