Just started reading the Kyoshi book from the world of Avatar the last airbender
The Testaments; Margaret Atwood.
Not enjoying, but half way through & determined now. :huh:
Rereading The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy by Thomas Sowell.
Explains the very questionable appeal of modern socialism and the dopey people who attempt to peddle it in a Capitalist country.

Ah, George.
My Aunt took me to the Cellar Door in D.C. to see him when I was about 14.
He was so stoned, all he could do was giggle; it was hilarious.
They gave us our money back and we left.
Finally finished "The Testaments; Margaret Atwood" earlier on today. Would have given up long ago if it wasn't for Aunt Lydia's story.Quote:

I am just finishing off re-reading the "Dragonriders of Pern" series as a break from mostly Military Scifi.
It is a great series if it is your genre.
B.V. Larson's "Clone World" (Undying Mercenaries #12) of the Undying Mercenaries Series
(Just finished it last night... It can be a bit hokey listen (audio book), but I like narrator and can be quite addicting if you start with volume #1.) :alien:
I am currently reading Wind book 2. http://cibu.io/cdn/23.png
Kelvin Wright's "A Sky Full of Stars"
(New (to me) a science fiction series "The Askari" Book one... I heard good things about it... sounds good to recuperate on.) :alien:
Introducing my son to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", a few pages every night.
I just got my kids into David Eddings...still one of my favorite authors...its fun passing things down to the next generation.
Same here :DQuote:

Like "The Restaurant at the End of the" and "Life, the Universe and Everything" and so on :)
B.V. Larson's "Glass World" Undying Mercenaries #13
(A pretty funny science fiction volume... again very well narrated and again... very addicting.) :alien:
Warning! Audio Book, start at #1 or you'll be lost.
after watching the four seasons of the Expanse on Amazon recently, I think I will start with the books soon, after I finished my current book "No one's home".
Now with all the measures in places there will be more time for that I guess
Nick Cole's "The Reservist" (Order of the Centurion - Book 5)
(Fast paced, stand alone, great science fiction... KTF!) :) :alien:
Warning!: I think its audio book only on that series. :(
Dean M. Cole's " Amplitude" [Dimension Space] Volume #3
(Excellent Story and Trilogy! Dual Narration by R.C.Bray and Julia Whelan. :) ) :alien:
Other volumes are #1 "Solitude" . #2 "Multitude"...all great! :)
Hmm...
I have not listened to / or read this BUT...
Star Trek - Picard - The Last Best Hope (Una McCormack) 2020 [M4B]
Just as stated above is out there... I haven't watched the show I just scanned though the audio book for quality and completeness,
but a friend said to listen to it BEFORE I started binging out on it. (Just waiting on season end.)
They said it fleshes out some characters, adds new characters and why...anyways... more back story perhaps. :)
Old folks on here already probably already have it... epub's and mobi's??? I don't do, but there are German languages on Usenet.... you guys use you noggins,
switch shite around the author's name Una McCormack ... titles (most are videos), don't have it yet? "Make it so number one", "Engage!" ...Stay Safe!... cheers, mate :)
Tell me Stehle, does the narrator voice/sound effects change the effect compared to you actually reading the book ??
yes. (I have bad eyes, so I can only go by earlier reading.)Quote:

I'm sort of in the same boat except I don't deal very well with fiction audiobooks so I now forego them. Works of fiction in their written form just allow you to use your imagination about character particulars in a way that audiobooks for me at least don't seem to.Quote:

Question to book/novel enthusiast if your eyesight is a bit bad, do those E-Readers help??, me personally my near vision is going a bit off, i sometimes use the over the counter reading glasses , and really for small writing, yet i can see extremely clear long distances..
I did try a friends in Florida, but the problem was as soon as i expanded the words to where i was comfortable , one page ended up 4 or the scrolling was a pain in the ass!!!...

Attachment 184742
(Sorry, me thinks it's only in audio book format.) :alien:
I'm currently reading this shitty forum.
Matthew Rief's "Gold in the Keys" (Florida Keys Adventure #1)
(A departure from sci/fi for me, a good solid series so far... it's listed on Goodreads, (Kindle, audiobook & paperback) so... for those that can or wish to read.) :alien:
Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World"
(Again, revisiting a novel I actually read in the 4th grade. Followed by "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein the 5th grade... perhaps formative years for me and why my life took such a speculative journey. IRDK.) :alien:
Happy Emoji Day! ;)
In the Dream House - Carmen Maria Machado
"Good Samaritans" by Will Carver (Detective Sergeant Pace Book #1)
(Gets your mind off things for a bit. Great local flavor.) :alien:
I'm currently reading this forum..
Adam Nevill's "The Reddening"
(Another Horror novel with UK locales reminiscent of a Gentelmen-ish film I recently viewed, with an added supernatural flourish.) :alien:
Attachment 184979
*Sorry, despite the cover it contains no.. Wherewoofs.
Bump!
"First Strike" by Christopher G. Nuttall
(First of a new series... sci/fi... out of this world naming and alien descriptions.) :alien:
[If choosing audio... Jeffery Kafer narrates.]
"Risk" by Steffen Kopetzky
Also highly recommended by the same author: Propaganda
"Out of the Dark" by David Weber
(Hacking, Iran, Invasion, Aliens... Oh my! Very nice Science Fiction Novel IMHO.) :) :alien:
(Decent narration for audio book form by Charles Keating)
Halloween Fair! ;)
Cay Rademacher "The Murderer in Ruins" / "The Wolf Children" / "The Forger"
Quote:
As a journalist for GEO magazine, Cay was once tasked with writing an article about Hamburg in the 1940s. The idea was to explore daily life in the British-Occupied city. When he began to scrutinize the actions, efforts and records of the police force at that time, the information he uncovered piqued his interest. It wasn’t just the lives of the police during that period that caught his eye but the sorts of crimes they investigated. The most prominent was a murder case that went unsolved and which, once he researched it, Cay Rademacher decided that he couldn’t rest until he had written about.
Writing about an unsolved murder case from the WWII era wasn’t exactly within the purview of the assignment he had been given. So the author decided to explore the murder in fiction. This led to the publication of ‘The Murderer in the Ruins’, the first book in the ‘Inspector Frank Stave’ series. What should have been a standalone story ballooned into a trilogy that put cay Rademacher on the publishing map. The author’s books provide a unique perspective into daily life in the 1940s.
Cay delves into the despair that was rife in the aftermath of the war, the optimism that eventually blossomed as economic transformations manifested, and all the murder that never stopped happening despite the nature of the times.
Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
"Florida Man" by Mike Baron
(Southern Humor... couldn't stop laughing last night!) :alien:
[Well worth the excellent narration by R.C. Bray in audio book format!]
Disgusting political stuffs.
Several books are open in addition to two Kindle things.
Not that it's any of your business.
Im reading forum section of a torrent site.
