Book Recs

[(Anonymous)]

Going on a trip next week, and I can't figure out which book to bring. I plan on spending half my time on the beach just reading. I can't wait!

Anyway, what book would you bring for beach reading?

Re: Book Recs

Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Really great fantasy;/scifi book.

The Uselessness of Everything

Oh, something mindlessly brain-candy and fun. How about The Graveyard Book, or a stack of comics? Ooh, or a Fannie Flagg book.

Seconding Graveyard Book. But it's so much better if you've read Jungle Book first because you get all the allusions etc.

I've recommended this before, but I always thought William Gibson's books (particularly his first three and his three most recent) make for an easy, fast read. That is, in order: Neuromancer, Count Zero Interrupt, and Mona Lisa Overdrive for his 80s trilogy, and Pattern Recognition, Spook Country and Zero History for his 00s trilogy.

His middle three books... are a bit denser, and I don't like them as much. That's Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties.

These are all trilogies, btw, so best to read them in the order listed.

I'll second Neuromancer, my sister brought it with her when we did a week long cruise and we both read it pretty quickly while sitting up on the deck.

Oh, some kind of science fiction and fantasy or other. Probably something like Jack Vance, or maybe some kind of big space opera-y type thing like an Iain M Banks or the James SA Corey thing. Those are the best things for reading in summer.

Also am I the only one who never really liked reading on the beach? IT's too sunny and too sandy to read, even in the shade. I like going to the beach to go in the water or maybe to hang out eating unhealthy foods. But for reading, you want somewhere in the shade, with lots of trees and green things around, and ideally a hammock.

What are some books that you enjoy? My favorite book that I've read relatively recently is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I also liked Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.

Re: Book Recs

[pantasma]

Feed, by Mira Grant, of the NewsFlesh trilogy; The Sociopath Next Door, by Martha Stout, Ph.D.; Furies of Calderon, by Jim Butcher, of the Codex Alera.

The Sociopath Next Door is particularly fun to read in public. ;P

Have fun!
