@Tago-Mago don't even get me started.. at least fax was somewhat digital. Was effectively unable to vote in the recent German elections, since a letter from DE to DK took 13 days! So we are left with fully analog exchange of letters, but with a dysfunctional mail service. Actually today the Danish Post (Post Nord) announced that it will stop all letter delivery from next year.

@mclaincausey nope, at least not yet. It’s on my list to read this year though. I debating on whether reading that first or Saxophone Colossus by Levy. I’ve had the latter in the bookshelf for a minute, it’s just an intimidating read but I know I’ll breeze (relatively speaking lol) though it once I start.

@Tobi i still think about Red Mars. Robinson did a wonderful job of describing the landscape of Mars - the enormous proportions and size of the cliffs, canyons etc. I didn't go on to read the following 2 books, but listening to them does sound enticing.

I finished The Secret Society this evening. What a read….i actually picked it up based on what peeps were saying in this thread about it. Thanks!

A tag line that should go down well here. I’ve never bought his clothes, or seen much of his tv work but I thought this book was brilliant. An echo of my own thoughts over the last few years.

@NickD I fixed the title for the average IH customer:

@Inorganic really enjoyed secret History. Wish they’d made a movie with a young Philip Seymour Hoffman as Bunny Corcoran.

@jerkules that would have been a solid casting, he crushed a similar role ‘Talented Mr Ripley’. Your post got my mind running on which 90’s (book was published in ‘92) actors could play Henry - Richard E. Grant I think could do it justice. And a bonus thought if they made it today he could make an excellent Julian.

In my opinion, this right here is the greatest American novel. So many scenes are burned into my memories.

I love reading, of course there's a reading thread on here...
I mostly read on kindle though, I just finished South of The Border, West of The Sun by Murakami ... good read, but weird. -
@tody You'll enjoy "Never Flinch" if you enjoyed Holly, the "Bill Hodges" series is what got me into reading, I read them all in like a month during summer 2023.
Holly Gibney gets a lot of hate as a character, but I enjoy her.
Also King is my favourite author so maybe I'm biased
