Well I finally finished reading 'The Mill on the Floss' by George Eliot Once again a beautifully written book and decently paced. Overall a pretty good story but I find myself as an outcast compared to most peoples opinions of the heroine of the story. The author has a habit in her books of making the herione(s) do stupid or selfish things and then heaps sympathy on them when they are taken to account for it at the same time painting the people taking them to task as being the bad guy which rankles me. Further to that when I read others opinions of the book sure enough 90% of the people loved poor tragic Maggie Tulliver. I was going to give the book a blast for the reason stated above as at times it was driving me batty but the somewhat surprise ending managed to rescue the story for me. I still have two or three more George Eliot books to read before completing her works but I will set them aside for the time being. Being near the Christmas Season I will again read 'A Christmas Carol' by Dickens and then find some lighter Sci Fi books to read. 19th Century literature can be draining.

Finally started reading the Witcher books, since I enjoy TW3 so much. Geralt has just met Yennefer and is convincing her to help save Dandelion's voice from his dumbassery with the totally-not-a-djinn.

Book thread still my fav. thread. Behind another certain thread. Onward to more page turning action! This lady used to write Star Trek fanfic but her own universe is pretty fun. This guy is going places with my cyberpunk aesthetics. This one is a classic and its only 3 bucks on kindle.

If you don't like Spengler's pessimistic black-pilled tone, you can read Arnold Toynbee's A Study Of History. More optimistic, more civilization categories and complexity. They be this thicc! archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.174388/page/n17You can find other volumes in that website. Also there seems to be an illustrated compact version that look like an interesting abridged one.

I once again need some sci fi series of novels recommendations from you all. I asked this before but then lost my paper list of the recommendations i had written down.
The type of series I tend to enjoy are the 'Culture series' by Ian bankes, the 'old mans war' series from John Scalzi and the 'Tales of known space' series by Larry niven.
Any recommendations would be welcome.

Any recommendations would be welcome. I have been interspersing new SciFi with old stuff that I have red before but most are one-off novels. I collected a Masterworks of the top 50 SciFi books and I'd highly recommend from that if you can get them: The Forever War by Joe Haldeman - there are three novels that you can buy altogether called "Peace and War"but the second too are a nowhere as good as the first book which was ranked number 1. Or this is one is ranked 5th - The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester

I just ordered myself a Christmas present, haven't seen the series but plan to so thought I'd read the novels first: I saw there are some other novels that apparently were written as a result of the TV Series, if anyone has read them do you recommend reading the additional novels and in any particular order?

I just made two kindle purchases. The complete works of Wilkie Collins (Another 19th century english author) and Zones of Thought Trilogy by Verner Verge. (I know nothing about this sci fi series other than it was recommended on the net.) Man you can get some great deals on 'complete works' on amazon kindle. The one I bought was like 4 bucks for all his works. You can get some for free. This should keep me busy for a while.

The complete works of Wilkie Collins (Another 19th century english author) Just recently read The Moonstone. It was pretty good, if long. I had no idea (though really not surprised) it had been made into a tv mini-series. I kept picturing Colin Firth (Mr. Darcy) as the main char, which was somewhat confusing.

Quite a few of those novels have been made into movies or mini series. I was also perusing BBC dvd collections for some authors i like and will probably buy some of those in the new year.

Currently reading The Tiger and the Wolf by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I'm enjoying it thus-far, probably because I've always liked the idea of shape-shifters but I find more often than not they're featured in YA books which aren't my cup of tea. It's nice having a mature take on them. Plus, it actually gives an explanation as to how someone can shapeshift and still keep their clothes on, which is a nice thing to touch on.

I've moved on to the next book in the Witcher series: It's...a bit of a slog so far, compared to The Last Wish. I think part of it is the writing style. As I understand it, these stories were actually written first, so did Sapkowski adopt a more casual writing style and word usage in The Last Wish, or was it the decision of the translator to use more formal language? Other than that, it's interesting meeting characters for the first time that I know from the games. I just met Dudu and Vivaldi. I didn't realize dopplers were amorphous blobs in their natural state...because I don't read the bestiary or character entries unless I need to kill something, apparently I expect I will want to punch Dandelion next time I see that asshole in the game, but I look forward to reading lots more of Geralt

So, I'm incredibly slow and despite my love of fantasy, I have never read the "Song of Fire and Ice" series nor watched "Game of Thrones". Avoided it for a while because of the whole "everybody dies!" reputation. I was afraid to get attached to a character just to lose them, and repeat the cycle over and over. Glad I finally got over that because the first book sucked me in. Now I'm up to the third. I want to finish it and the remaining two before I watch the HBO series, even though I know it doesn't follow the books 100% (nothing ever does, movie or show).

I halfway through George RR Martin's Fire and Blood. I don't read as fast like I used to. I generally read before bed and tend to fall asleep within the next 15-20 minutes after lying down. Lot like I used to do when I was younger and could read for an hour or so.
