What are you reading?

Post by Grumpy Toad »

I've been a Zappa fan since I bought my first album (We're Only In It For The Money) when it was released in January 1968. A friend, who knows that, was gracious enough to lend me this to read. What's got your interest? :dj:

I'm about 1/3 through this book. Wow, what a story. Mila lived a life a lot of us would have loved to experience. Highly recommend.

Just started reading the Witcher saga by Andrzej Sapkowski. I've already finished them all years ago, but they are such great books I wanted to read them again. Especially after seeing how Netflix butchered it and turned it into a painfully bad series...

Thanks for the tip. I'll look this up at the local library.

Love Stephen King's short stories collections. This one and Just After Sunset are my favourite.

I can't recommend this enough if you're craving some postapocalyptic fiction. There are 3 books in total but I only got through this first one so far.

One of the earlier Stephen King's novels. I really enjoyed it and it's pretty short, so you can finish it in one day. 8/10.

Just finished Tremendous by joey diaz and about to start the fellowship of the ring.
Tremendous was exactly that if you're a fan of The church of what's happening now.
