Re: What are you reading?
 

I didn't know there was another one out, great books, thanks for the heads up Hugh :tu:

Re: What are you reading?
 

I'm starting to read The Expanse series.

But I'm reading "Memory's Legion" this contains books that give backstories and fill in the gaps, that go between the 9 books.

So I'm reading 3 of them before I can read Book 1 "Levathan Wakes"

Re: What are you reading?
 

The Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North.

Bought this first edition paperback when it was first released in 2014. Just found it at the back of my bookcase so thought it was about time I read it.

Re: What are you reading?
 

My bookcase has no room, but I will still buy them, one day I might read my late mums dick Francis books in order, but I might have to fill a few gaps as she used to read them from the library.


I have over 900 books.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I probably beat you by a few hundred.

Most of my shelves are 2 books deep and I have bookcases in most rooms. My main addiction is to science fiction and fantasy. I also have a lot of books dealing with restoration techniques which I inherited from an old friend who helped me when I set up my gilding business.

Oh and being somewhat interested in shoes I have quite a collection of books about their design over the last couple of centuries. :D

Re: What are you reading?
 

I am just about to finish my re-reading the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant Best fantasy series I have ever read .. highly recommended.

Re: What are you reading?
 

I've read those and echo your comments. :tu:

Re: What are you reading?
 

Remember avidly reading those many moons ago, might be time I revisited ;)

Re: What are you reading?
 

I recommend the 9 Expanse books plus the latest book Memory's Legion which has the prequel and fill in bits not in the books.
