August 21, 201213 yr I just finished the Dream Team book. Lots of cool personal ancedotes about the players and it was entertaining to read about their interacting with each other and constant s***-talking.
August 21, 201213 yr when on road trips i google "top reading lists of 2012", and sometimes they dont' convey what a book is about. Anyway, "Penolope" is an awful book. I feel embarrassed that I bought it.
September 8, 201213 yr QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:24 AM) It was very, very tough to put down "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Until the end. That's the quickest I have ever read a book. I ignored sleep and other entertainment just to finish it. That book was the f***ing s***. I finished it an hour ago.

How late were you up? Honestly, the book grabs you like 2 paragraphs in and spins you around for 400+ pages. It's very hard to put down.

It's very hard to put down. About 2. Just had to go read two more chapters during my lunch break. This book may not live to see tomorrow.

September 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 12, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) That sounds about right. I have very little to do today at work and my kindle is just sitting on the desk asking to be read.
September 24, 201213 yr Just finished "Billy Lynn's Long Half Time Walk" by Ben Fountain, which had been very well reviewed as the "Catch-22" of the Iraq War. I liked the "Catch-22" of WWII a lot better.
September 24, 201213 yr Well it'd be hard to top what's usually considered a top-10 20th century American novel.
October 7, 201213 yr Amazon has 14 Phillip K. Dick novels on sale for $1.99 today. Anyone have recommendations of his novels, I was thinking about picking up one or two of them.
October 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) I'm reading the President's Club right now. Not too shabby. I just finished this and thought it was good.
October 23, 201213 yr Picked up a Kindle Paperwhite today at lunch. Can't wait to go home and do some reading on it.

October 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 23, 2012 -> 04:57 PM) Calibre + Google = freeboox Duh. Have had a kindle for 2 years now. Just upgrading. Edited October 23, 201213 yr by kjshoe04
October 30, 201213 yr Currently reading "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson. Loving the new kindle.
November 11, 201213 yr Has anyone here picked up Tom Wolfe's "Back to Blood" yet? I've enjoyed all of his novels, but each one less than the one before.
November 11, 201213 yr Going to check out the Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy here since apparently it's sexcellent.
November 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 11, 2012 -> 11:26 AM) Going to check out the Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy here since apparently it's sexcellent. Read that about 10 years ago. Kinda slow, but not bad.
November 15, 201213 yr Just finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. As a child of the 80's and a slight geek, this was right in my wheelhouse. There were a couple of references that I didn't quite get because I hadn't played the game or watched the movie but I enjoyed it overall.

I adored that book.
November 15, 201213 yr Highly recommend This Book Is Full of Spiders by David Wong. It's the sequel to John Dies At The End. Off the wall horror-comedy. I don't even know how to really explain it except it involves a paranormal psychoactive drug that allows users to travel between universes and time. Needless to say bad things happen as things from other universes find their way to ours.
