Bookmarked, will read it when I have some free time and let you know.

Well, I have mentioned a bit in this week’s weekly thread, but basically I thought the book was going to be more about what happened with the world when all women fell asleep, and maybe some kind of quest to wake them or something, but it turned out to be more about how things went down when women started falling asleep. I haven’t read any of King’s books lately so can’t compare it with anything, but he takes time setting everything up and wonderfully builds the environment. Not a big fan of ending, but it’s good enough.

There’s also the supernatural element, which I think all/most of King’s books have, though in post-Covid world, a story like this with medical / unknown elements instead of supernatural might have been a lot more scary.

Overall it was a good book and it has convinced me try few more of King’s work. I would recommend it.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

Is that his memoir or about something else?

Heh, just read the synopsis of A Lonely Dungeon, the concept sounds really fun. How did you like the book? And are you going to continue with the series?

Fire Weather looks interesting. How are you liking it?

Haha, agree about his long windiness, though I have come to appreciate some of it.

Nice. I have been steering away from the classics for quite a while now. Forcing myself to read those in my youth, because they must be read, put me off them. Should get back to them sometimes.

I remember liking Foundation & Empire, but it has been a while, but series spans over so many generations, so you have to be ready for change of characters.

Does Norse Mythology stick to actual myths or changes them in the retelling?

The Bonfire of the Vanities “has often been called the quintessential novel of the 1980s”, as per Wikipedia. I guess I need to read it now.

Anxious People also looks interesting. Would love to hear how you liked them, once you have finished them.

That’s making me curious. Good? Bad? Complicated?

Thanks for the recommendations! I have never actually sailed, or ever have been on any ship (not counting 2-3 mins boat rides in some parks), but will checkout Beat To Quarters. 👍

Thanks for the recommendations!

It has been a long time since I read the Dune series, maybe I should read it again. How are you liking it?

Have you read rest of the Hornblower series? How is it? I have never read any naval warfare book, except for Master and Commander by Patrick O’Brian in my younger days, didn’t like it much then, but can’t say if I will like it now or not.

Interesting list of books. Do share your opinion on The First Signs, once you have finished it. The topic sounds interesting.

Haha, I thought maybe it’s some lesser known book by Gibson. 😀

i have heard mixed things about his Inheritance cycle, some people love it, and some people hate it. I personally liked the Eragon movie they made, which everyone seems to hate.

I would love to hear what you think about the book once you have finished it.

I plan to start the Drizzt series, but it’s so long now, going to take me ages to read them all.

Heh, well, you gotta do what you gotta do. Have fun on your business trip!

Neuromancer or Necromancer?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!

Will get first couple of books soon and give them a try.
