I am curious, what kept you still reading the series? Is the story interesting, or just didn't have anything else interesting to read.

Neuromancer or Necromancer?

Thanks for the info, will check it out.

Ah okay, probably not for me then. I am going to give Stephen King one last chance. Have one book of his that I am going to read, and then get one of his famous one, probably IT, let's see.

At least this would let them temper their expectations. 😀

Tamil also has a very beautiful script. I like how it looks.

I have a distinct feeling that I once got a copy of Neuromancer from some used books sale, without knowing anything about the book, and then gave it away when I couldn't get into the book after reading couple of pages. I was pretty young then, but I can't be sure if the book was Neruomancer or some other one.

How are you liking the book?

Diablo 4 is great, how are you liking the first season? I have heard conflicting views on that.

As for Star Trek, that's a big undertaking. I started with the published order (my choice of order, in pretty much all media forms) a long time ago. The original, than the next generation, gave up somewhere in the middle of DS9. Haven't seen anything after that (except for the new one they did couple of years back, watched 2-3 episodes), but I have been getting an itch for some nice alien show recently, and since I can't find anything good, may just resume DS9 from start.

The Golem and the Jinni sounds nice. Would love to hear what you think of it once you have finished it.

First Law Trilogy is one of the best series that I hated 😀

I don't like grimdark, I want more of "good guy beat bad guy, and they lived happily ever after". Okay, not entirely true, but you get my point. So, while I didn't like the story, or the characters, it was a really good series. I have read the main trilogy and the standalone Best Served Cold, planning the get The Heroes sometimes. When I need a dose of grimdark.

How is Prince of Nothing? Is it also grimdark? Would you recommend for something who generally doesn't like grimdark, but would still read it if it's a really well written book?

How is it, if read as a parenting-guide?

I haven't read Infinite Jest, so can't recommend anything like that, but keep visiting these posts, I am sure you'll be able to find something you like.

Or you can create a separate post, asking for recommendations, it should get you more visibility.
