What Is Everyone Reading?

What is everyone reading right now?

I just finished ‘V For Vendetta’ by Alan Moore & David Lloyd. It’s very good, though I was unsure of how a few plot lines wound up. It’s nothing like the film, and I’d recommend it you’re into dystopian narratives and stories about the mechanics of power.

Prior to that, I read ‘The Glass Pearls’ by the great filmmaker Emeric Pressburger, which is about an escaped Nazi fleeing justice whilst hiding out in 60s London. Definitely recommended, especially if you’re into psychological thrillers and moral dilemmas

Still re reading all the Discworld series. Currently on Hogfather.

When I'm done with that I'll re read all of Neil Gaimans books.

Reading new stuff is great but sometimes when life is a bit stressful it's great to read stuff you love. Bit like meeting an old friend for coffee.

Mrs is usually reading something that involved gruesome murders

Hogfather is the book that got me onto Terry Pratchett and is one of my favourites in that series too. I like all the ones with Death in. Currently reading Celeste Ng - Our missing hearts.

Peter James - Left you Dead.

Roy Grace is a brilliant character.

Saw someone above say the discworld series (Terry Pratchett RIP) , reading these to my small human as a bedtime story. Great books. Wyrd sisters at the moment (basically Macbeth but in a Pratchett esque take !)

"Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky."

I came to say this! I'm on the second book now: Children of Ruin. Such an unusual take on sci-fi, I think the author has a background in zoology and really explores what non-human intelligence might be like.

I also really enjoyed the Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin recently, again a really novel approach to alien life and how it might interract with humans (not well in this case!), and of course the Chinese context added interest.

Outside of sci-fi, I've just finished A Far Cry from Kensington by Mutual Spark, a very funny slightly cruel story, set in the publishing world of post-war London.

@vintage princess - 'Severed' sounds really interesting, if a bit gory for me! I really like that kind of thematic history.

Haha, I've actually never finished any of the Gormenghast books. Tried when I was younger, but couldn't make much progress. The name always stuck with me though.

The first two (Titus Groan and Gormenghast) are really brilliant, well worth you going back to, but the third (Titus Alone) is a bit flat and disappointing."

He wasn’t in full charge of his faculties when he started the third, never finished it either, it was kind of stitched together by his wife I think I to something g passably publishable. I read it once, but now I just stop at the end of book 2 when I reread, which is fine as it’s a perfect conclusion right there.

Last book I read was when I was in cells for the weekend and I genuinely can't remember the name of it but they had hired a Scottish detective to help catch the killer and am sure was a blind woman that ended up taken the killer of the cliff, if anyone knows the name based on that vague description please let me know as was an awesome read

I’m on about book number 7 this year, which is Upgrade by Blake Crouch, it’s pretty good so far, very much his style of thing. If you liked Recursion or Dark Matter by him then give this a go. There’s been a couple of mediocre books but 2 very good books already, The storied life of AJ Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin and Love and other words by Christina Lauren, both of which I loved.

"Safe to safe you've already read Titus Groan OP.

Haha, I've actually never finished any of the Gormenghast books. Tried when I was younger, but couldn't make much progress. The name always stuck with me though.

Probably a bit of false advertising on my behalf.

The first two (Titus Groan and Gormenghast) are really brilliant, well worth you going back to, but the third (Titus Alone) is a bit flat and disappointing.

He wasn’t in full charge of his faculties when he started the third, never finished it either, it was kind of stitched together by his wife I think I to something g passably publishable.

Yes, I agree, they are brilliant. I have a collection them on a BBC dvd.

I saw these before reading any of the books. The short stories are perfect for this format and this is what the BBC have been historically good at.

Whether something's interesting has nothing to do with the subject and everything to do with the writer, I reckon.

Even if something sounds as if it would incredibly tedious, a great writer should be able to make it interesting.

Completely agree.

If the reader is good, it can add so much (sadly the inverse also holds - a bad reader can completely ruin it). I’ve only listened to a few only as audiobooks, but what I’ve thoroughly enjoyed doing is revisiting books I read many years ago.
