so may i rejoin please?

I'm currently reading through IT. I honestly adored the new movie and started reading it since I enjoyed The Stand as Well. I'm about 700 pages in or so but I've been quite busy to read much sadly. The book is so detailed and I personally love horror so it doesn't scare me but it's astonishing when a book can have your adrenaline pumping and keep you from looking away.

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. I played the point and click game over a decade ago and am finally getting around to reading it

If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino, which is fantastically unique and meta.

I think the last book I read was technically a book about serial killers. I go to this bookstore in town a lot and sometimes get caught up in reading one of their books there, haha.
Besides that, it was a simple poetry book called The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur. His books are nice to read sometimes when I'm going through a rough time.

Also, for clarification, I assumed the example was for the third rule: "when winning a GA write book name or author instead of "thanks"
example: "History of Sparta". Did you know that Spartans were unbeatable till they forgot about Lycurgus austerity laws and indulged in luxury?"

Is it fine to literally just write the book name/author or do we have to give a fact like that?

I'm on a self help kick. My most recent read was Daring Greatly by Brene Brown

The Custodians: Beyond Abduction by Dolores Cannon

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri

Season of Storms from Sapkowski. The read is quite slow, too much reading and staring at screen at work so my eyes are dead tired by the time I come home to relax :/

The last book i have read is about a ghost(?) in furniture department store (like IKEA but in this story is ORSK). I like psychology of selling in first part of story and a middle of story have a plot twist to scary and horror. However, in the finally this book have a lots of scary and I accustomed. ;w;

P.S. I write about a book that i read in 2018 in Twitter too (1 tweet/1 book). But it's in Thai language. ^ ^

I did end up reading The Silver Chair, which I'd say is my favourite Narnia novel so far (only The Last Battle left to read). Puddleglum is a great character, and I liked the idea of a little girl rescuing a kidnapped adult prince.

Googling just now, I found that there was a TV mini-series of The Silver Chair, with Tom Baker (the Fourth Doctor) as Puddleglum. I ended up ordering the collection of these BBC mini-series on DVD, which sadly is only the usual (The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe, Prince Caspian and The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader) plus The Silver Chair. Would have been nice to see the others also made. Anyway, I'm incorrigible. Too much stuff to watch, too much to play, too much to read, and I still buy more. (I also happened to add The Batman: The First Season to this order, which was on my saved item list.)

Also found out that The Silver Chair is currently in production for a movie.

Oh, and I'm still not applying.

The Cycle of "Wind and Sparks" books by Alexey Pehov. pretty much decent fantasy. A bit weaker than his other cycle "Страж" which means guardian? on english in my opinion, but still was interested to read from the beginning to the end.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie, I just love her plots and twists and the Poirot series. Should be my 20-30+th book of hers by now!

I do not speak English, but I like the idea of your group.

I can recommend you:

• "The shadow of the wind", where we talk about the cemetery of forgotten books, but I do not know if it can be obtained outside of Spain.
• "The Dumas Club", Satanism, book collecting, musketeers, the work of Dumas... Possibly you have seen an infected film adaptation of that book: "The Ninth Gate"... Nothing to do with the book
• "The book of the day of the Final Judgment". I love that book, because of it I have refused to read anything else of its author in case I am disappointed with her following works. If I had a daughter one day, I would fight to put the name of the protagonist.

And finally "The name of the rose", book, film and video game: "The Abbey of Crime Extensum". The game I do not know how it is, but it's free on Steam.

Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk Good one :)

I rather want to recommend something and of course it strongly depends on your taste and there are some classics that everyone should know.
But alltime favourites of mine is everything about Douglas Adams. Of course he got famous with the "Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy" but "Last Chance to see" is at least this good.

And my definitely favourite is a short story of him about a thing that actually happened to him. It's "Cookies". Trust me on that one. If you have a moment: read it.

I changed my mind. Don't wait untill you have another moment.

Read it now!

Because I see that you had the time to read my comment. You will find it all over the internet. This is the first match I had in google. If you rather prefer another language than English you will probably find it as well (German for example).
If you don't want to read anymore then listen (just a bit more than three minutes).

*You will find variations of it sometimes but the original was from Douglas Adams.

But if you really insist on getting to know about my last book: it's "QualityLand" by Marc-Uwe Kling (just in German for now but maybe it will be translated somewhen). It's more or less a parody on modern society. If you understand German you can find a bit more about it here.

Last year, after my father died and I was out of work, I gave myself a lot of projects to distract myself and help me move through my grieving. I set goals for myself, small, stupid ones that I could meet. When my girlfriend moved in with me, and we merged book collections, I realized between us we owned about half of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. I set a goal for myself to slowly buy the other half.

It took me a few months, but a nice website called thriftbooks helped me finish off my collection. Recently I decided to read all of them, in order, from the first to the last published before his death.

I'm cracking into the first, the Color of Magic, now. His early writing and sensibilities are a little rough, but it's going to be fascinating to see how he evolves over the years, all at once.

The last books I read were Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory by Caitlin Doughty and Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. I wanna rave about them and some faves but have a tension headache and could hardly manage to type this. Both are great though.

I think the last book I read was the third novel from the stormlight archive, Oathbringer

Last book read was "Lady with a Lapdog, and Other Stories", by Anton Chekhov. I organise a very small book club in London, which does mean I read books I would not normally have chosen.

Reading The pillars of the Earth- Ken Follet, (English version), not my official language but that book is older than me and always wanted to read it so here we go!

The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg

Finished reading The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch yesterday. I'm lacking words to explain how great it was.
I've read a lot of books both because I love it and because, in another life, I've studied literature, and this one was different, like life-changing different. Made me sad, angry, happy
Next one will be House of Leaves and then I'll go back to The Chronology of Water :)

Right now I'm reading Sherlock Holmes by Conan Doyle
