About 500 pages into Rhythm of War. It took a while, but it’s finally starting to pick up.

I finished The Book Thief last night and am now traumatized.

I blame my sister.

Currently I’m reading a book called “Where Things Come Back” (For a while I thought it was “Where Things Come Back To Die” for some reason) by John Correy Whaley.

So far it’s decent, but I’m less than a third the way through.

Finished Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield not too long ago. It’s a lovely novel to read about a wonderful tale, although it unintentionally had probably one of the worst metaphors I’ve ever read.

Fahrenheit 451 is the greatest book of all time and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Its singular flaw is that I can never think of Faber as looking like anyone besides Christian Faber.

Reading that as my first classic sci-fi book ruined all other classic sci-fi for me. :stuck_out_tongue: I also really love Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Well, it certainly is in my top 10, or in the top 5 of my top 10 but greatest is a difficult award to place. Ironically I read the “graphic novel” first (If you’ve read the book you’ll understand the irony.) But reading the book was next level, out of the many books that explore future society this one feels eerily close in many ways, even if elements like the dangerous activities youths engage in seem ridiculous, the parallels still are there.

A cyber hound is a must do on my Moc list.

I’ve been currently reading 20,000 leagues under the sea, honestly about time as I’ve read most other classic SF and this is a foremost one. What puts a smile on my face is the just the sense of wonder the story conveys, akin to Jacque Cousteau’s documentaries would have. Also the numerous references to “The Creator” are interesting as it just isn’t something you hear of in any modern book. Like many older books though it is mainly a vehicle for astounding sights/events and is not primarily focused on any particular character or theme.

Read Echopraxia by Peter Watts, and one of the characters had a familiar looking name :sweat_smile:
