Reading & Books

Who enjoys reading? What are your favourite Genres, Authours, do you prefer standard, large print or audiobooks? What are you currently reading?
I have just finished the audio version of The Cockoos Calling. I am now debating between: A Brief History of Severn Killings by Marlon James, or The Shining by Stephen King.
I thought I would start this thread and see what response I get.
Happy Reading!

I'm reading 'Disability and other human questions' by Dan Goodley at the minute. This is a non-fiction book that explores Dan's thoughts about how society views disabled people. Highly recommended too.
I've tended to read academic books for the last few years because I've been at uni but am trying to break free and return to more light-hearted material now
It sounds like you like crime/horror books. Have you read other Stephen King books? I've only ever seen his films!

Normally I like to read fantasy, but I like the Marinari type thrillers, fast paced and also have something added along the lines of Dan brown.
I have read books since being a kid, such a long time ago now. 😒 Now I read on Amazon fire tablet, kindle books and now have a large electronic library. I still think there is nothing better than turning pages, such are the times and if it gives younger people the inspiration to read than so much the better.
Welcome to the Thread.
I recall the junior library, although I was always interested in reading Fiction for older children / people. I never understood that I would not be able to gasp such literature at such a tender age. I have heard that both Kindles and other reading Technology medium / devices doesn't suit everyone. The book you are reading sounds interesting.
Enjoy!
That is a new name for me. Is he a Detective writer? I have read a couple of Peter May and Lee Child books. Both of which are Detective Novels. If i was to recommend one, check out The Black House. I read that and got well into it. I have sean the films of Dan Brown novels, but have never read his books. They look heavy reading! I agree, you get a real feel for the book when you read it off paper don't you.
With regards to your library on the Amazon Fire, do you buy the books outright, or are they borrowed? I registered with Audible for quite a while and have made some good selections. The best book out of my collection I would say is A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer.
That is great!
I am not sure if I could read more then one book at a time though. What did you study at university?
Do you read the books or do you use a Kindle? Personally I love the feeling of the book I my hands. It feels almost real.
