Hi guys,
Decided to start a thread of long(ish) books or series in order to kill a lot of time during the next months.
I will start by suggesting 3 series that I've read over the years and I loved:
- Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa
- The Grail Trilogy by Bernard Cornwell
- The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
I suppose they are all a bit similar in style but I guess thats what I like the most :happy
And a more serious one:
Good Economics for Hard Times by Banerjee and Duflo (won the last Nobel prize in Economics)
Please post your suggestions as I will have a lot of time to read :laughing
<3

I've quite enjoyed The Night Watch series by Sergei Lukyanenko. Its a Russian series translated into English. Great series for anyone who loves fantasy in a modern setting. Unfortunately, it is a bit misogenistic, which I dislike about it, but it's a really well written series.

Now is a perfect time to read The Stand by Stephen King :happy

In terms of legit books, Roald Dahl has always been my go-to. Otherwise, I began scouring the Archive of Our Own and fanfiction.net for interesting fan fiction and came across Full Moon High by Stone-Man85 and a spin-off which is much more interesting for you lot, Full Moon Scales by markzilla6895. I'm currently considering adapting one or both into screenplay format as a side-project to my own fanfic writing, which I may also give the same treatment.

Just finished Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grant. Can’t wait for the movie adaptation next year!

Just purchased a new ereader for less strain on my eyes. I can read things much better now.

Is one of them available in PDF? Thank you very much for your suggestions.

i just finished reading liu cixin's "wandering earth" sci-fi short story collection. it's incredibly thought-provoking, but when you connect the dots of subliminal messaging to liu's real life beliefs and affiliations, it gets pretty uncomfortable
