I started reading The Terminal List by Jack Carr and so far am liking it. Similar to Vince Flynn, Brad Thor type thrillers but darker.

Movies are virtually never as good as the books, but which one was optioned?
I looked back at my highlights and notes from Forever War and remembered why I didn’t like it. It seems unlikely I’ll spend time with the sequel. If the movie has the same stance on things as the book, I’ll be skipping that as well.
If you find me on goodreads you’ll see I read and have a very broad range of stuff (what I have on there is by no means complete), but I do enjoy sci fi a great deal and read a lot of it, for its ability to take issues from today and cast them in interesting lights, to illustrate other ways of being and looking at things, etc.
I’ll gratefully entertain any suggestions you have. That’s what’s good about this thread, which I make an exception for in terms of the general forum. I’ve found some good books here, made some suggestions others have appreciated, even met an author through here.

I simply cannot recommend Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantel enough. I’m sure that you’ve already read it, but just in case...
If you’re in a sci-fi mood, the Cloak of Aesir is a great and short old school sci-fi read. Also, Thirteen by Richard K Morgan is great, I liked it even better than Altered Carbon.

Thanks. I’ll have a look at the first two, see if the library has them.
I believe I’ve read everything Richard Morgan has published.
