Do you read for pleasure?

[msc545]

If so, what sort of books and articles do you enjoy reading? I have been known to read the labels on dish detergent and toilet paper if nothing else is available. I use a Kindle now since I ran out of room in the "library bedroom" of my house and storing books in a bathroom seemed a bit inappropriate. In total, I have about 9000 books, not counting the academic and professional ones.

Do you have any recommendations for fiction you really loved?

[dustybiker2]

I read everything. All my vehicle manuals from front to back too. I've gone up to people who own my truck and start commenting. They never knew their truck did half the things you learn only in that book.

Any recommendations for fiction?

[dustybiker2]

What do you enjoy? How far into creativity?

Dark Hunter series is good
Black dagger brotherhood series is good

[msc545]

I will probably like anything you like. Lately it has been good military fiction. Check out the author Marko Kloos, who writes in a very human and realistic way...

[dustybiker2]

I will add it.

My sister just sent me a kindle gift of the book set C. S. Lewis - The space trilogy. And demanded I read it. So those are next.

[Agape93]

Yeap. Horror, apocalyptic, post apocalypse, some fantasy, alt history, religious texts and so on.

[msc545]

Any recommendations (not horror) in fiction?

[Agape93]

The lord protectors Daughter and the sequel The lady protector (modesitte)

Lady of devices series

Sunfall trilogy (by Gideon)

This would be paradise (Iverson)

[msc545]

Thank you!

I have read the entire Lady of Devices Series and loved it. I wish Adina would write more of this but she seems more into romance now.

The rest that you mention I shall have a look at as you seem to have great taste!

[Agape93]

Anytime. I've got like 4 bookcases of shit lol those are just some favorites.

[msc545]

Check Shelly Adina's website - looks like she has some new stuff...

[Agape93]

Will do

Currently reading "Ghost Rider" by Neal Peart, drummer for Rush, written after he lost his daughter and his wife within a year. I'm about 100 pages in.

[msc545]

Thank you!

Fiction? Try "A Great Deliverance" by Elizabeth George, the greatest British mystery writer ever. She lives here in Seattle.

[msc545]

Thank you, I will!

When I used to have vacations I would buy 5 or 6 books to read at the beach. Mostly fiction, Sci fi and historical stuff.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

[Sevenpointfive]

the obvious one to me is the star wars library.

[Anonymous]

Yes I do. I like fantasy, science fiction, adventure and horror books. I also read encyclopaedias.
