Ahan, thanks for info. I have become too lazy to work on any kind of rebellion, but it sounds like an interesting read.

Heh, well, there are bots, but I haven’t actually used any, and haven’t seen anyone using anything like remindme, so not sure.

Heh, well, Sanderson’s novels aren’t that long, well, not counting Stormlight Archive that is. Specially when you compare them to most books in fantasy genre.

As for Reacher novels, I haven’t read many action / adventure / crime novels, but those that I have read haven’t been very long, mostly around 300-400 page count, so Reacher’s length was a surprise. If it was a fantasy book, wouldn’t even have noticed it probably.

Yeah. BTW there are two different audiobooks, one are simple / plain, and other are dramatic something. Which one are you listening to?

Thanks for the info about Goosebumps, will check which ones I have at my local shop.

I just care about cataloging books, with proper info, and LibraryThing is great for that. My only non-complaint is that it’s not self-hosted, but I semi-regularly export my books, so it’s all good.

I can understand about not getting time to roll your own version. I have been trying to do that for a game cataloging app for over a decade, starts with some new tech every year or so then get busy with stuff and forget about it.

Sounds interesting, but it does sound like a rabbit hole where you can sink tons of hours. Don’t want to do that right now 😀

I’ll probably be going for the paperback. Can’t listen to audiobooks.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will start it soon.

Interesting. Will check it out.

Hehe, fair enough.

I can’t multitask at all. If I am listening to audio-book, I need to stop everything and just listen to it, but then it gets boring because I am just listening.

I like numbers though, stats, graphs, charts, lists. Those are fun, so try to log everything I can. Don’t care about sharing them, but they are fun for me.

I have his Shadow of the Apt series, though haven’t started it yet. Your comparison with Michael Crichton is making me want to start it soon.

Wow, that’s a really good number. Good luck reaching 200 books!

Just looked up The Art of Receiving and Giving and it sounds interesting. Do share how you are liking it as you read it.

I recently started the Jack Reacher series and got the first 3 books (though have only read the first one yet). They are much longer than I expected them to be. Are all books in the series like that?

It didn’t get boring so I don’t mind the length, just curious about it.

Dark Harvest looks interesting.

What’s There is no Animemetics Division? Series of web novels?

How are you liking it? It was recently recommended to me in another thread, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

How is the series? I have The Black Echo (first Harry Bosch) book but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.

How are you liking it?

Kind of like Black Mirror (TV show)?

So, after reading this, I finally decided to buy the first Deathlands book right away, it’s about time I at least check it out.

Well, it turns out they aren’t available anywhere. Not even as ebooks. Only audiobooks are available. Amazon (not my place of choice to buy ebooks) also has only book 48 and 49 available, rest are audiobooks only.

On a positive side, one less series to worry about!

Thanks for the recommendation. He is around 10, and likes horror / spooky stuff. Will get first book or two and see if he likes them.

Infinite series seems pretty interesting. Will check them out in a few months, hopefully they have better availability than Deathlands 😀
