I remember, when I was reading Witcher for 1st time, I did it in one week (book1-1day, book2-1day, book3-1day, book4-2days book5-2days). Witcher is epic fantasy saga. Definitely worth to read!

btw: There is also new book from Andrzej Sapkowsky about Geralt from this year.

@mattusko
You mean "Season of Storms"? Yeah I haven't read it yet. I'm still savoring the ending I got in Witcher 3 game, but I'll read it for sure. BTW if you're at all interested in gaming give Witcher 3 a go. It's not on par with Sapkowski's writing, but it's pretty damn close.

Just read daniel kahneman, "thinking-fast and slow". One of the best books ive ever read.

agreed, kahneman's book is one of the best I've read in the past couple of years.

Ok so i have recently signed up to audible.com and am going to start listening to books when in bed. Need some good recs from you guys. Probably business stuff or autobiogs would be better for me. Not into fantasy stuff tbh

Business books: Michael Lewis, wrote The Big Short, which was great, about traders who predicted the 2008 crash and made a killing, and Flash Boys about HFT, also good (and might turn you off of the stock market if you're not already. (But he's prob best known for Moneyball, amazing book, shitty movie.) Both very well written, he's a gifted author. He also wrote a hilarious book called Fatherhood, all the stuff new dads can't say but want to. I don't have kids and I thought it was a riot.

I would reccommend Duncan Bannantyne's or Gordon Ramsey's autobiographies. Interesting, businessy, and funny!

The Big Short sounds pretty interesting! Might go for that one

@killjoy1987 Both of those sound so good and is actually the direction i went in last night. I purchased the Stephen Fry memoirs and listened to around the first 20 minutes of it. So far so good! He is a very interesting man so pretty convinced it will be a solid god knows how many hours of listening. Was quite funny having Fry read me a bed time story lol

Yeah, I absolutely love to listen to some audiobooks in bed. For me, it works way better than any sleeping pill. The only con is that the next day I sometimes have trouble remembering the last 5-10 minutes of the chapter I listened to, but it's a small price to pay. I also listen to audiobooks while doing cardio so I almost always get good 2 hours of "reading" that I wouldn't be able to fit into my schedule otherwise.

As for the recommendations... if you don't like fiction then I'd recommend "The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives" and "Thinking, Fast and Slow"

Just finished Legion, book 7 of the Horus Heresy series. Anyone else read Warhammer / 40k?

I forgot what it's about so reading it again - and it's got pictures in it!

Considering the book's title, was your comment intended irony?

Lately, I'm the mood for fiction and I'm re-reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I highly recommend it. This book series has its own special twisted, oniric, disturbing flavour and at some point it goes really meta on itself (which I can appreciate, but I'm not a huge fan of). I'd kill for a movie adaptation by visionary director that's so well regarded that he doesn't have to listen to studio execs etc. Someone like Fincher, Nolan or maybe Tarantino. Wes Anderson could be amazing too though the book series is probably too dark for his taste. Anyway if you're in the mood for some good fantasy "The Dark Tower" series is just the thing.

Probably my favourite book series, loved them. Wizard and Glass is my favourite of them. Have you read the graphic novels? I recommend them, especially the first lot with artist Jae Lee - amazing style! There were rumours for a lonog time that Ron Howard was going to do a movie/tv series combo of the whole lot but it just never happened.

@jongordon84 Thankee-sai, you speak true!

From my experience, it seems like there are two kinds of The Dark Tower series fans. Those who are really into the 'meta' aspect of it and they usually don't care much for "Wizard and Glass" and those who appreciate the story-telling which is why they often like the 4th book in the series a lot. I absolutely adore "Wizard and Glass" I've read it 4 times now, three times in my native language when I was in my teens (just a wee lad) and once in English just one month or so ago. I still have no idea how Steven King managed to depict teenage love story so well given the fact that he wrote the book in his 40's or 50's, but even now when I'm much older than I was when I've read "Wizard and Glass" for the first time "If you love me... then love me" sends shivers down my spine like a good rock song. I was also able to appreciate Sheemie much more this time around, he's in many ways one of the best characters of the entire book series. I absolutely love this story.

I've never read graphic novels and I'll definitely correct this huge mistake after I finish the last book in the series. As for the movie, it even had a relese date (2013 if I remember correctly) and some casting rumors (Javier Bardem or Vigo Mortensen as Roland), but it got axed. However, I think the idea got picked up again recently and there are plans for a 2017-2018 release of a movie + TV show which would be interesting. I wish Clint Eastwood was 20-25 years younger or Scott Eastwood 15-20 years older because they both have the face that I see when I'm imagining Roland. That being said I think Javier Bardem, Vigo Mortensen, and many other actors could pull off the role as long as they understood the subtleties of the character. Or maybe Daniel Craig? He has gunslinger eyes, that's for damn sure. Anyway, before I go on a huge rant...

... long days and pleasant nights!

If you only read one graphic novel, make it the first, Gunslinger Born (effectively Wizard and Glass). Take it you've also read Through the Keyhole? If so what did you make of it?

@MattVIP Look how good!

I actually never read "Wind Through the Keyhole". I've read both "Song of Susanah" and "The Dark Tower" very soon after their release in 2004 or 2005 and then promptly forgot about the series for a decade (those two books are the only ones in the series I've read only once). Currently, I'm on book six of my "Dark Towe Marathon" so I should be done with "book eight" fairly soon.
