Suggest me a book (retrolemmy.com)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) by hancock@retrolemmy.com to c/books@lemmy.world
 

I'm bored out of my mind. Suggest me a book and I'll read it cover to cover.

Two conditions

  1. I can aquire a digital copy.
  2. Some ovious filters like no dictionary or phone book kind.
  3. Most people agreening on the book will be selected.
  4. Any book works.

Thanks.


Update: 21st march

Thank you all for your time and input.

Looks like it's a tie between.

  1. Project hail mary
  2. The count of monte cristo

As kind of promised I'll read these two cover by cover.

And bonus rules(5,6) that i kept for later

  1. I'll make a list of every book(other than selected) and will give it fair shot by reading at least 25%.
  2. I'll post here after finishing each book.

I think I am set for a year. I am not a reader although I have 3 e-readers + a m5paper for which ill write a e reader firmware/app. I love the e-reader tech and books. (Still not a reader but id like to be one and this is my second attempt to become one.)

I'll update the list of books here mentioned tomorrow.

Thanks again for putting out your suggetions and favs. Happy Reading.

The Remaining by DJ Molles. It's the first book in one of my favorite series. The first series has 6 books, there is a follow on series with 6 books, and there are 4 stand alone novels and a prequel following that. Awesome concept with realistic, flawed characters and lots of gruesome post-apocalyptic action. chef kiss
