Re: water to the thursty, recommend some ebooks, please.
Ahoy all
at Mirage I guess we both are quite similar when it comes to not rereading books, however I have simply had to do with rereading my favourites as there are spells when I don't come across anything at all that is to my liking, so rereading stuff that I really like is the only option left in such cases.
callled Dragons sounds good, let us know how it goes as you read ahead. sounds like amother one I'll be adding to the list.
Puppys reminds me, I have been talking about liking books with animals in them either as the main character or any character that is recurring, and I haven't even written about any of my favorites
The Art of Racing in the rain should be familiar to most here, and if it isn't I'd highly suggest reading it.
Although its quite sad at points, and its one of those books that have managed t
o bring tears to my eyes but eh, what can I say I'm a silly fart when it comes to dogs.
A very interesting take on dogs is the book A dogs purpose and this one I prefered to listen rather than reading with eloquence, because the narrator just hits the right spots with this one.
There's also a sequel, and it goes without saying if you try the first you will very likely end up liking the second, as well
slight spoilers for city of mirrors
When I came upon the carter and Rachel part myself I was a bit oh no, man. but the guy deserves it considering...
The sweetest saddest character in the book,IMO.
But then again, didn't Justin ended up doing something a bit similar with phanning and you know who.
Spoilers end
I never! ever go for anything with vampires or werewolves, I guess toilet (sorry to the series's fan if there are any)and far too many books like it for me to give any of them a try.
But I made an exception for t
he passage trilogy and I'm glad that I did. If not for the awesome writing and a farely good story,then discovering the author who writes so dam well.
I actually write farely slow, its not the typing speed but my thoughts are scattered all over the place and sometimes In writing one thing I entirely forget the other for instence the cornwell and sharpe series.
I agree with the sharpe books taking a bit of a low slump as they move on in the order of publishing, and one thing you'll notice with bernard cornwell, although to be fare many authors who write so much do this too so he isn't the only one to blame,but over time you tend to notice same kind of patterns being repeated in 1 way or the other. which get a bit tiresome after a while,but for all that I like him quite a lot.
Speaking of, I finished the winter kings yesterday, and indeed I see quit
e a lot of Uhtred in Derfel but I guess that would be the other way round since the warlord series was done first?
I actually as I have said before wanted to listen to GOT in audio myself, someone preferably old and in a voice similar to dotrice's hence it was even more sad how bad at reading he was.
Listening to him I noticed and it was really irritating he couldn't even do voices properly. He'd speak a dialogue in a person's voice and then go on to read sentences in the same voice,then change to another's voice when and as the person spoke and speak the words in between the dialogues in the same voice as he was speaking in. I mean,come on...
Even audiobook readers who do it as a hobby and are not proffessionals are better than that...
I would have really loved to have a version of GOT that was in audio and wasn't done by him,but alas.
I think I'll be rolling dice to choose what I read next, whether I go on w ith the hole warlord series or start something entirely new while I play crazy partys which quite surprisingly has loads of those little worlds and minigames to play which are fun at the same time, but that's for another topic and another day.
Fun reading!
