I primarily read science fiction, but I will also read some general fiction, and even an interesting autobiography.
I love The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I'm not sure if anything I'll ever read will supplant it as my favorite thing to read.

In this hilariously savage, poignant novel by acclaimed author Katherine Min, a grieving daughter’s revenge …
This is a bit of a weird one. I don't like the majority of the characters very much. They've all made some pretty bad decisions so far.

Nice to see some conclusions.
I knew Jasna was going to make a comeback. Her "death" was so anticlimactic.
Glad to see the end of a certain high prince, too.
In this collection, Watts displays the intelligence, playfulness of thought, and simplicity of language that …
Mind-bending stuff. Half of it feels sensible and half of it seems crazy.

I started listening to this a while back but forgot to update here. It's good. Kaladin is finally getting out there and showing himself!

Finished reading this with my 7-year-old son last night. It was a very touching story. I'm glad my son listened to it with good attention most of the time. I checked that he was understanding the story as it went along, and he followed most of it.
I'll definitely check out more books by this author in the future.

It took me a little while to get into this one, but once I started having to commute to work again I rattled through it in short order.
I feel like I know a lot of the characters now, and I'm so pleased to remember that I've got multiple books in the series waiting to go. I'm not so much looking forward to a ten-year gap for the next ones though.
There are some elements of this that I'm not over the moon about. There were a fair few descriptions of women that I feel like women might roll their eyes at, and the disembodied voice saying "UNITE THEM" turns out to be someone I really wouldn't have expected.
I'll start the second book on my way home tonight, and I'm reliably informed it's either best or second-best in the series, which is cool.

I have a study guide to help me get through this, and I still find myself needing additional outside help. My poor brain.
Awesome! I liked the ending a lot.
I wasn't expecting a potentially supernatural element.

Reading this based primarily on Station Eleven.

The ending is pretty odd, but the book was enjoyable. Definitely want to watch the movies again.
I'm reading this with my seven-year-old. It's way above his age group, but I'm changing the few swear words as I go. He's seen them in the book, and he knows it's not appropriate for him to say them to people. He's a fan of Pumpkin.
