56 posts in this topic

Stormy day here in Edmond and perfect day to read a great book.  What is that one book you read that you would recommend?  

On another note does anyone want to have a long distance book club?.....damn I’m old😂

I like almost any Stephen King or Dean Koontz, which are perfect rainy day books since the gloomy atmosphere adds to the book.

Also just cause I watched the movie, I loved the Davinci Code. 

Long distance book club could be fun.

No AtF but here are a few good ones

A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini

The Dark Towers Series - Stephen King. I still feel so bad for all the people who passed away before he finished the series. That's the worst. 😢

For those of you that like a good Dracula book. The Historian - Elizabeth Kostova

   I happen to be a Stephen King fan and I really enjoyed The Long Walk... great story, it’s basically about the ultimate competition...

Sanford and Grisham fav writer's. Koonz, Connelly, Baldacci and Lee Child, round out a few. I'm mostly into action detective type stories. Doesn't matter male or female 1st person character.

cosmic banditos is a fantastically fanciful read that you can knock out in a couple days...

perhaps i was possessed recently but some odd form of gluttony took the reins of choice and i and waded through catcher in the rye and animal farm, highly recommend both...

I didn't realize those were books before the tv show. Never watched the show but curious how the books compare

American Tabloid by James Elroy, just a great throwback to the Camelot/JFK era. 

I agree w/ mountainrider, Angels&Demons was that one book I read in one sitting. By far better than DVC, but I am probably bias as I read it first. Course the books are always better than the movies... Now that's a topic for a thread...lol..

Although if anyone has a sense of nostalgia for the 80's and the video game era, Ready Player One was fantastic. I listened to it, narrated by Will Weaton, and really enjoyed it. Find myself listening to more books than reading now a days.

No GOT Spoiler's

I'm only into season 4 episode 7.

So any one who divulges spoiler info pertaining to season 4 and beyond will be banished to Castle Black to begin their Nights Watch and will have to take the oath.

Interesting I read Davinci Code first and couldn't get through Angles. May have to try it again.

Second for just about anything by John Ringo, but I prefer his Paladin of Shadows series.  Many of the themes are darker than most main stream authors.
