Book Recommendations

Just finished Joe Abercrombie’s The Trouble With Peace.

Had it pre-ordered on iBooks. Second book in the his second First Law trilogy. If you liked the others, you’ll like this too.

And Brandon Sanderson’s fourth Stormlight Archive book is due next week, I’ll save that for my 4 day Thanksgiving weekend.

Wow, two of my favorite modern authors.

For the retired, thick books are a wonderful thing. I sit in my chair and read in the mornings. I'm indulging my like of history. Covid killed going to the gym. So I read.

That's my go-to recommendation for most people that need a good read, absolutely phenomenal, darkly funny, and inventive. A sheer pleasure to read and re-read.

I'd had people recommend it for a while, but I just never got around to reading it. Funny enough, I got the trilogy for my mom for her birthday this year because of those recommendations, and she enjoyed it so much that she mailed me her copy of the first book and said "You need to read this." I tore through it in a day and a half, and immediately ordered the full trilogy in paperback. I tore through that in a couple days, and now I've got the next three books (which as I understand aren't a cohesive trilogy, but are set in the same world and have some recurring characters) on the way.

And yes, I also have greatly enjoyed Sanderson's stuff. I need to see what he's done in the past few years, I don't think I've kept up with his output.

Just finished Joe Abercrombie's "The First Law" trilogy. Highly recommended. It's like classic high fantasy seen through a dirty lens, without going full Martin. Some good characterization.

It’s time to reread that series.

I just picked this up in a thrift shop:

Pretty sure I read that back in the 80s

I just picked this up in a thrift shop:

That’s a good book. I picked up a copy at the college bookstore back in the mid 80s. I think I still have a copy.

I just picked this up in a thrift shop:

I read it years ago. It's a good book.

You could read Berlin Diary. That's a book by Shrier documenting the rise of the Nazis and being in Germany as a reporter before we entered the war. Pretty horrific. One thing was a German official telling him how they planned to leap from Africa to Brazil with the aid of some compadres like Argentina. Might have been fantasy but, it didn't seem so then.
