What are you Reading now ..... other than comics ? 7 7

I've decided to go back to my Michael Moorcock/Eternal Champion Sequence read-through, after getting abandoning it a few years ago when I reached Mother London (I just...absolutely could not get through that book. At all. And I hate not finishing books). Skipping that and re-starting with the next book, King of the City...which...is not going very well either, lol.

I just finished Frank Herbert's Dune and currently reading Dune Messiah

I keep starting and stopping "House of Leaves" by Mark Z Danielweski. I keep getting sidetracked, but I like the first 50 pages so far...

I also just read The Scavenger's Guide to Haute Cuisine by Steve Rinella - if you enjoy cooking, hunting, eating game, etc., it's a really interesting read and Rinella's narrative style is great. Non-fiction; the author finds a 100-year-old cookbook and sets out to find all the strange ingredients by hunting and gathering so he can cook an epic multi-course meal from the cookbook. My neighbor recently got to do a bear hunt and shared some of the meat with us, and I made an awesome bear stew based on one of Rinella's recipes.

One Christmas I got my Mom and Dad a combination Field Guide/ Cookbook for wild mushrooms. I wish I could remember the title. It even showed pictures of the poisonous ones that you DON'T want to eat. GOD BLESS....

The Queen's Gambit-picked it up at coffeeshop on a lark-thought it would be boring but one of the best books I have ever readed.  Highly recommend.
Turns out he also wrote the man who fell to earth, the hustler, and the color of money.

Re-reading "The Lord of the Rings"

[Black_Adam]

For a change of pace I grabbed A Tree Grows in Brooklyn from the library and can see why this novel is an American classic.

Just starting Unsettled (What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, & Why It Matters) by Steven Koonin.

[Gaard]

Just finished Depraved by Bryan Smith. Ever see the movie Wrong Turn? Kinda like that. Normally, I would've stopped when I found out how much sex was in it, but it's about cannibals ... so stopping was not an option.

 

I cannot recommend highly enough the Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin. By far, the best apocalyptic book(s) I ever read.

Finally finished the 2nd book. 

About 1/4 thru the 3rd (pictured below).

Huge fan of the actress.  If sidney sweeny doesn't play black cat, this is my second pick.

Reading two books right now. Allow Me to Retort: a Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution and The 1619 Project. Both amazing.

Currently reading The Three Investigators in the Mystery of the Silver Spider. LOVED this series as a kid, and just as enjoyable as an adult.

That is a blast from the past.  Really enjoyed those.

I'm reading Robert Kaplan's Adriatic.

I'm a big Kaplan fan - he's usually an excellent mix of history, strategy and geopolitics. In this instance, though, he's writing a sort of literary history of the Adriatic region, and portraying it as the cultural birthplace of a new European identity. I've spent a fair bit of time in the region, and his argument isn't always convincing.

Overall, the book is OK, but not up to his usual standard.

Been listening to-

The Galaxy's Edge Series by Jason Anspach , Nick Cole on audibles... most narrated by RC Bray... prequels are a must... lots of massive battles on ground and in space... well written...I have been enjoying them very much!
