Shanester Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just finished the Age of Apocalypse saga. WTF?! The only fiction I read is TPBs and TRU's customer service policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trekker 42 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Starting Robopocalypse which is apparently WWZ with Robots. And after that, the Death Gate Cycle which has been incessantly recommended to me by a friend. So why not? However I just recently got through Cold Days, the latest Dresden novel. And once again I am reminded why this guy kicks so much ass. He's just such a fun character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have recently read four if the Jack Reacher books. They aren't Shakespeare but are an easy and fun read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have recently read four if the Jack Reacher books. They aren't Shakespeare but are an easy and fun read. How do they compare to the movie (if you've seen it)? I thought the movie was pretty good, aside from an incredibly weak villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Started the Gardner James Bond series, so far so good. Not Fleming obviously but it's surprisingly better than i would have thought. Started JK Rowling's book The Casual Vacancy too. Good lord, i've missed her writing. Loving it. Buy it, read it, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkguerilla Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Starting Robopocalypse which is apparently WWZ with Robots. And after that, the Death Gate Cycle which has been incessantly recommended to me by a friend. So why not? Hey, I just started reading this too (a month later, but whatever)! How're you enjoying it? To be honest, I'm not digging it as much as I want to. As a fan of robots, uprisings, and World War Z, I was very excited for this book. Instead I find it dragged down by the storytelling device, and while interesting, it rings hollow when compared to World War Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 In on goodreads too, but I haven't really used it either. TTF, did you finish A Casual Vacancy? I started it a while back, but I couldn't really get into it, put it down, and suddenly it's four months later. I'll pick it up again some time soon. I will say this: I didn't get very far, but even so, the further away I get, the more I realize how crisp her characters are. I'm currently reading Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan and enjoying it. I've also got Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon and The Magicians by Lev Grossman in waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead I find it dragged down by the storytelling device, and while interesting, it rings hollow when compared to World War Z. Well considering it took me only two days to finish it... I did enjoy it. I can't say it QUITE had WWZ's flair, but it certainly had its own charms. I wish I had read it before WWZ and then graduated to the Zombie War. I would have loved Robopocalypse all the more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Recently read (via Audible and LA traffic commute): The Forever War by Dexter Filkins - nonfiction. Amazing war stories about the Afghanistan and Iraq wars from an embedded Pulitzer Prize winning journalist. 11-22-63 by Stephen King - fiction about a man who travels back in time to stop the Kennedy assassination. My favorite King book since The Stand, has won numerous awards. I'm three fourths of the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
