    This was a store clerks recommendation. Honestly I have no idea what I’m reading. It’s essentially a dark,twisted fairy tale, but the author is one of those “let me just use a thesaurus as part of the material” types.

      @SKT have you read Perceval Everett’s James? I haven’t gotten to it yet but it’s in my to-read pile.

        @Nik Really enjoyed The Trading Game, finished listening to it last night. It really helped that the audiobook is read by Gary himself, it's the sort of tale that benefits from the autobiographical voice. He also does a good job with mimicking the accents of the other characters, which helped aid understanding when he's recalling conversations he had with others.

        Take the dive...

          Glad you liked it @EdH cool to hear the audio was good. Stevenson definitely has a great voice.

            Put a hold on it for my Kindle…I’m 31st in line! Sheesh

              @iammortalcombat oopff.. I don't think I could slog through it, those type of authors are off putting to me.

                @Inorganic I finished it quickly…not because it was amazing, but rather I just wanted to get it over with. I hate not completing books. 3/10 do not recommend it.

                I started this last week as my first audiobook. I needed something to be background noise while I’m painting my plastic army men and this feeds the lore behind my army.

                    After ‘OK Computer’ the next release of Radiohead was ‘Kid A’ in 2000.
                    Perhaps one of the most curious metamorphosis of a band seen.
                    Took me years to connect with Kid A.

                    More 33third books here.

                    Music from Radiohead-Kid A to The Smile-Live in Montreux in the Music thread!.

                        I'm doing a load of Simon Winchester this trip. So far, Land (which amply illustrates what a horrible race we are), Precision and Atlantic (quite apposite because of where we are)....

                          Following on from this discussion, @EdH and @endo might enjoy the novel “Q”, set in the time of the German Peasants’ War and the Münster Rebellion. It’s been a while since I read it but it left an impression!

                              “Q” is definitely a great read @ARNC
                              Have a second copy laying around. If any German is interested, just drop me a PM. I’ll send it out for free!

                                  @Tago-Mago great one, my favorite Stephen King book by far!
                                  Might have to pull this off the shelf tonight and revisit.

                                    @Tago-Mago one of, if not THE first book I ever read by him and still one of my favorites. Reread it just last year. Classic

                                      Read some newer Stephen King lately and enjoyed that. The thought of revisiting the classics crossed my mind more than once. Might start with the Dark Tower series...

                                          @tody The Dark Tower is a great ride. The second book, Drawing of the Three and the introduction of Eddie Dean hits a personal soft spot
