I'd like to be reading Johnny Rotten's (Lydon) new book "I Could Be Wrong, I Could Be Right", instead of sitting in front of the computer, but the UK limited edition is bl**dy expensive. We're in the process of moving, and the township and buyer inspectors are going thru the house today. If any spare change is left after we move, I plan to pick up a copy.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten. This is the story of Johnny Rotten.
Sorry! I could not resist. This is an expensive and limited edition book. Gets good press though. Sounds like a fun read.
BTW, I do not seem compelled to keep reading The Overstory. I do not know why. I was liking it. I assume I will naturally get around to finishing it and promise to report when I do!
love all ofSanderson’s stuff. Can’t wait for his next Stormlight book!!
Ashley's Book of Knots
Never made it through W&P. I find Tolstoy boring (didn’t finish Anna Karenina either). It isn’t the length, it is the story.
Exactly. There's no rule that says you have to finish every book thar others deem great. If you had to take a test on it it, you could always bluff your way through with the notes. (Anyone remember Cliff and Monarch Notes?)

in the early 2000s, as the last WoT books were being published, I would do re-reads of the detailed Wikipedia entries for each of the previous books before diving into the new one.
Open Season (Joe Pickett #1), by C.J. Box.
The Ecology of Freedom, by Murray Bookchin.
Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert. Finally read Dune for the first time back in February, and it was tremendous. Enjoying the second book so far.
I set myself a modest goal of reading an average of 2 books a month for 2020, and while I slacked off a bit, I made up for it over the summer. This is book #22, with two months to go!

After putting my mind to it, I finished Hilary Mantel’s Beyond Black. I must say, it was one of the best books I have read in years. Totally original, compelling and a page turner to the end. It is also very dark, as the title suggests, and deeply disturbing in so many levels.
I’m moving on to Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.

Just curious, have you read her Cromwell trilogy? I read the first two, but have not gotten around to the latest one.
I also read the first two and am waiting for the third to be issued in paperback.
Just got Lee and Andrew Child's new Jack Reacher book The Sentinel. it is getting some reviews along the lines "of this is not the Jack Reacher I know and love, too talky, too touchie feelie."
I am about 1/3 of the way through already. I am loving it. So far more than the last three or so Reacher books. Plenty of action.

I need to start posting here, as I read a lot. Currently reading New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color, an anthology of short stories of science and speculative fiction. Edited by Nisi Shawl, authors include Indraprimat Das, E. Lily Yu, Rebecca Roanhorse, Anil Menon, and more. I'm a little more than halfway through and the stories have been excellent.
you intrigued me so I looked it up. Holy moly! There’s like 25 books! Guess I better get started.
I've been meaning to read that one, but haven't opened it up yet...for fear I'd be tied up for hours!
Good to hear..., I'll pick that one up this at the library morning.
Currently reading C.J. Box' Savage Run (Joe Pickett #2). Almost two books in and it's great series so far.
^ That's a good read.

Got the new Jack Reacher book The Sentinel and read to the half-way point today. A great read so far.
