[J-IV]

@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.

Been on my list for so long and finally getting around to reading it. Just a few chapters in but it’s already very tense

@stever

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