What book are you reading?

[Diomedes]

Checking back in, you catch any friends from Scadrial in The Way of Kings? Any familiar-sounding (if not familiarly-spelled) names? Hint hint. Also, as you get into Stormlight Archive, be on the lookout for allomancy and feruchemy.

Okay current read is The Lies of Locke Lemora, which, not far into it yet, but I'm really enjoying so far. Just finished Neighborhood Defenders, which is about housing policy and specifically community involvement in planning and zoning meetings and how it generally prevents housing from being built. Let's see, did How the Word is Passed last week, which was a fantastic and thought-provoking read about the legacy of slavery in the US (and not just in the south), and also The British Are Coming, which was a solid first entry in a forthcoming nonfiction trilogy on the American Revolution by Rick Atkinson (who did a well-regarded trilogy on WWII).

I'm reading this right now. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm some regards, it's pretty well done. In others, it's pretty terrible. Lol. The technical stuff has definitely not aged well. I'm a little more than halfway through it.

Edit: Went back up, and it looks like you already covered Warbreaker, so you're good. In for a treat with this installment. Possibly my favorite of the series. Maybe. It's hard to pick.

Read Warbreaker before Words of Radiance! No, really, you're gonna want to read Warbreaker first.

Skin in the Game by Nicholas Tassim Taleb. Loved The Black Swan and this one is also really interesting. Very dense, chewy reading (and re-reading since it takes me a bit to process!).

Currently reading "Hot Springs" by Stephen Hunter. It's meh. I'm about halfway through. It's entertaining, but not amazing. The guy can write macho without coming off as cheesy, which is great. But the story is bland and predictable. I'll probably give another book or two a shot before I complete my opinion on this author.

The Hunt for Red October is my current read. I read it probably once a year. My favorite book of all time.

On standby (I jump in and out of books halfway through) are: Pioneer Bush Pilot -Story of Noel Wien, In the Shadow of Eagles (another bush pilot bio), and Carrying the Fire (Michael Collins, Apollo astronaut bio). My tastes run mainly nautical and aeronautical history and biographies.

The Cosmere marathon continues. I’ve completed The Way of Kings and I’m now on to Words of Radiance. As for recurring characters, I Felt that concept had a bit of Wit to it, don’t you think?

When I was a teenager I started reading my dad's John Grisham novels. Saw "A Time For Mercy" on the grocery store rack the other week and picked it up. It's pretty good, not exactly a sequel but it picks up with the same attorney and setting as his first novel "A Time to Kill" (of "Yes they deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!" fame) five years later

Currently reading "Kill-O-Byte".
It's about a VR video game. I think it was from 1993.

I've been reading stories that do weird things with time. So like The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, which was fantastic and basically Knives Out + Momento + Edge of Tomorrow; All You Need is Kill, which is the book Edge of Tomorrow was based on, it was good, and I'm just about to finish Piranesi, which was...weird but enjoyable.

[Diomedes]

OH you're in for a treat. Just remember to be patient with The Way of Kings. You're gonna get plopped down on Roshar and have no idea what's going on. Don't be in a rush to have every question answered, and make sure you pay attention to the epigraphs. And be on the lookout for familiar names and faces.

I finished “Endurance, Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage” by Alfred Lansing. I like polar exploration books and this one was very good. It is amazing to read what they lived through.

I’m starting Apache Wars now
