Wow, a book a day. And I just looked them up, they aren't small either.

What kind of books are these? Leaning towards mystery? or action? or something else?

After not thinking about it forever, I was just thinking about few days back. It's interesting to see a poster soon afterwards.

Though, now that I think about it, it was also after watching a Dune meme, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Well, the pacing becomes even slower, and there are books where nothing happens. Still, it's my favourite series. So, keep reading, and maybe pace yourself so you don't get burned out.

Heh. I think it's a good book to start with, to show importance / power of the books 😀

[-] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

Ahan, thanks for the info!

[-] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

Nice. How are you liking it?

[-] dresden@discuss.online 2 points 1 year ago

It's just a list, without mentioning anything about any novels...

Any recommendations from that list? Something closer to Lovecraftian horror.

Interesting list of books. Do share your opinion on The First Signs, once you have finished it. The topic sounds interesting.

I have been thinking of reading them to see if they can be a good read for young kids. Though, I get the feeling (without actually reading them) that they are more suitable for teenagers, then kids of 8-9 years old.

What do you think?

Nice list of books! Which translation of Metamorphoses are you reading?

As for The Black Echo, why are all crime series so long? PDFuego mentioned J. D. Robb's in Death series in this thread below, and it's also 30+ books. Well, the good thing is, if you end up liking the books, you don't have to wait for the next one, but they just keep going.

Just looked up Siddhartha Mukherjee, his works looks interesting. Which ones did you order?

I have read about a quarter of Discworld novels, wanted to read them all in released order, but couldn't find many books. I plan to start the re-read again once I have found some of the remaining books.

Have you read Tress of the Emerald Sea, it's written in the style of Hoid telling a story. It's a really fun book.

Actually, this might be a good suggestion for OP too. @hahattpro@lemmy.world . If you like The Princess Bride, you should enjoy the book. Though, most of the book is on the ship, so not sure if it exactly meets your medieval requirement.
