Read any good books lately?

I just finished Crazy Rich Asians, it was alright. Movie as better.

Anyone read anything interesting lately? Any Recommendations?

Nice Big American Baby by Judy Budnitz. It's a short story collection. Wife said it reminded her of my stories, so I gave it a shot. While I can't really see a smilarities, since she's evidently a much better writer, I really enjoyed them. There's some magical realism in there, some cool feminist themes, and quite a lot of tension of all kinds, actually. None of them are straight-up horror, but some of them have left me all :O

Reading through A Song of Ice and Fire, and I’m almost done with the second book. I’m enjoying it a good amount.

I was on a Stephen King kick for a little bit. I read Carrie, The Shining, The Stand, It, The Long Walk, The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Misery, On Writing, Night Shift, and Salem’s Lot. I really enjoyed them a lot more than I thought I would despite some issues I had. I was especially surprised by the ones I hadn’t heard of before (The Dead Zone, Firestarter, and The Long Walk).

This might be cheating but Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir.

It's a graphic novel about the life of Stan Lee.

I also checked out, but didn't quite finish. William Shakespeare's Get Thee Back to the Future! which is a parody book where someone wrote the entire plot of Back to the Future in Shakespeare's style.

Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe. It was recommended to me as a Dark Souls-esque story and I felt like it delivered.

That reminds me. I still gotta pick up Bret Easton Ellis' White. Great writer.

Tearing my way through the Animorphs series. I can't get enough. :grover:

Pretty sure I'm going to fly through my Goodreads goal of 25 books for the year. I'm almost there.
