Ahan, thanks for the recommendations. Will check them out.

I just got ‘Yumi and the Nightmare Painter’ today, reading the secret projects in order, so should be getting to The Sunlit Man soon after that.

Assuming you have read the all four secret project books, which one did you like the most?

Well, I have only read first two yet, and they were both pretty good. Though yeah, the writing style and vibe of Tress was much more enjoyable.

It’s interesting when people forget actual name of the series, like “Game of Throne series” instead of A Song of Ice and Fire. Didn’t know Three Body Problem series have a name.

Yeah, while people generally like the books, it’s generally agreed upon (at least in this community) that it’s a bit of a slog to go through.

Murderbot Diaries are our most recommended books these past few weeks, maybe I should mention such books in the post…

Checked the synopsis before checking the genre, and was like, “this seems like a perfect setup for a rom-com”. 😀

How are you liking the book? And the series overall?

Crazy Rich Asians sounds interesting, how are you liking it so far?

The Butcher of the Forest is a dark fantasy because of horror theme? Or because author is very sadistic with his characters? I don’t mind horror, but not in a mood for the latter right now.

Last Argument of Kings is nice, and it also brings the trilogy to an end, so that’s always a good thing. 😀

TIL what echopraxia is.

How are you liking the books? Look interesting.

I have heard a lot him, but haven’t gotten around to reading any of his work. What would you recommend the best starting point should be?

dresden,
@dresden@discuss.online avatar

Thanks for the detailed answer. I’ll take a look at Blindsight.

Yeah, I am not a big fan of genre, but it’s sometimes fun to read something completely different. And I do occasionally enjoy the rom-com movies, so having some of these around can be nice.

Thanks, will check it out!

Cool, thanks for the info. Will check it out.

Huh, how come I didn’t know there was a Ghibli movie on A Wizard of Earthsea! Time to check it out!

I read Dune a loooong time ago, but while I remember the gist of story, don’t remember the details, so staying away from the movies too. Going to do a re-read, and then watch the movies.

The Witcher is an interesting world. Would be interesting to see how they expand the stories in next games.

That premise about Tender is Flesh made me go from, ‘interesting’ to ‘uhh…’ pretty quickly. Do let us know if you do (or do not) finish the book, and how it goes.

I was reading Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks, but gave up at the start of book 3. Have you read it? If yes, how do you compare it with The Night Angel series?

dresden,
@dresden@discuss.online avatar

Well, Alex Verus has finished so there’s that.

I remember that The Way of Kings was a bit slow to start, but didn’t realise it was this slow. I have been planning a re-read in anticipation of the 5th book, so nice to adjust my expectations.

Expeditionary Force series look pretty interesting. How are you liking it?

I am also reading Dresden File, finished Dead Beat a little while ago, going to start Proven Guilty soon.

How are you liking Dune so far?

Didn’t know the anime was based on the book, and that there are sequels to this too. Going to check them out.

Oooh, Stargate is one of my all-time favourite show, so this just pushed the series to top of my to-buy list.
