I bought Hyperion a few months ago and have it on my shelf. Everything I talked to says it is one of the best books they have ever read.

the sequels not so much...but Hyperion is a must.

It's a must-read for anyone into sci-fi/fantasy.

The first book is like Canterbury Tales. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Excellent. Been jonsen for some sci-fi since completing the Expanse (which might be my favorite series of all time).

If you're into Sanderson, don't skip Arcanum Unbounded.

Lots of short stories/Novella's set in between different books that flesh things out a bit.

Just finished the books in Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series. The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, and Rhythm of War. Also zipped through the 2 in between novellas, Edgedancer and Dawnshard. Sanderson really knows what he is doing. I'm thinking about reading some of his other stuff from the Cosmere setting, like the Mistborn series.

I've read just about everything he's written so far. One of my favorites.

Just finished Grisham's "The Judges List". Solid book if you like his stuff.

I'm sorry, I meant I recently read The Final Empire.

I think I maybe read The Emperors Soul...but may need to give it another read.

Anyone ever read any Don Winslow? Just finished The Force and I'm impressed. Gonna jump into his Cartel trilogy next I think.

Read a couple of recent John le Carre novels: "A Legacy of Spies" , "Agent Running in the Field" and "A Delicate Truth." A bit underwhelming when compared to his early work but still better than most. I get the sense that le Carre was a bit put out by Brexit. LOL

Finished the first four of Mick Herron's Slough House series.

Patiently awaiting the next Bosch and Reacher books.

recently I've been reading a couple message boards.
Every now & then there are some pretty good characters.
Not very deep, but a fun read.

Been reading a bunch lately.

Handmaid's Tale. Good read.
Shadow of the Gods and Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne. Nice paced, norse fiction.
Martian Chronicles. Classic that I'd never read. Got a little repetitive, but was still worth the read.
The Daughter of Dr. Moreau was an interesting take.

Been going through a bunch of "best of" reading lists and I have to wonder how those lists are put together b/c some of the books are just not good. Good example was Shikasta by Doris Lessing--read the first 50 pages. Nope.

Shadow of the Gods and Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne. Nice paced, norse fiction.

I want to get into those as well, but I was thinking about starting with his first "trilogy" with Malice.

currently reading Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain and The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osman. The first was a fun read, I expect this one to be as well

About 200 pages into Winslow's Power of the Dog. Excellent stuff so far.

I'm hooked.
