      I read this one over the weekend. Out of all her books, that one was the best.

        The first one sounds interesting, I'll put that on my 'to read' list!

        Yes it does, but my friend who recommended Simon Winchester says that he thinks I will find Pacific the most interesting.....

          I might add them to my list too. I enjoyed these two a while back then forgot all about Simon Winchester.

              @tody glad they clarified it’s Britain’s female Stephen King, whatever that means 😝

                Again as with 3 Body Problem prompted by an adaptation to pull it forward in my backlog, read Dark Matter. This thing reads like a script and was entertaining and got through it very fast because it was hard to put down. Highly recommended for a quick kind of dark sci fi read as a suspense thriller without a lot of depth. I have more faith in the ability for a successful adaptation here than with 3 Body Problem.

                  @mclaincausey finished reading “Outlive” on our vacation. Lots of takeaways but maybe the biggest for me was a reframing of the “why” part of exercise and nutrition. Moving forward I’m going to focus on the simple mantra of “training to be a centenarian”

                    @SKT nice! I’m sure not all of it is perfect but there are at least some good key takeaways for me.

                            One that I started a couple of years ago and hadn’t finished. Picked it back up today and forgot how good it was.
