These make 4 books for me finished in 2024 so far. Pace is up from last year, but still want to do better.

So far Ive read 4 books this year. There were a couple of small book they gave me for work I won’t even count. I just finished “Thinking, Fast and Slow”(which I would recommend to everyone!) and “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry”. I kind of want to give myself a break from non fiction for a bit. Anyone have a suggestions for something fictional. Im leaning towards something Horror. Are their any good horror books that HAVE NOT been adapted into a movie?

Also, how much do you guys normally pay for books? I kind of want to check out this "Out Here Screaming", but $25 is kinda steep(yes, I'm cheap imo), seeing that I can get other critically acclaimed books for cheaper. Like, whats too much in you guys opinion?

I pay in the $12-15 range for most of the books I read. I’m not super picky, so I look specifically for books that are on sale.

I have paid $25-$30 for books before, when I was really anxious to read something. But usually I can wait until the price drops.

Honestly I don't read anything until it's in the library But then again I don't read a bunch of new books.

after Han Kang became the first korean to win the nobel prize in literature, i began reading "The Vegetarian" by her.

alsmot done with it. really interesting book that explores the idea of violence and human nature. would recommend so far.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

Update:

finished the Vegetarian... WOW. Incredible book. Its gory, scary, and explicit but how Han Kang gets her message across is creative and nothing short of brilliant.

I can see why the Nobel Prize chose this book as an example of her work. 10/10.

Glad to see bookstores still doing well. My son loves to read and we have spent many weekend mornings going to Barnes and Noble to checkout the latest books and they also have a solid Lego collection. I especially enjoy visiting during December when they have all the decorations out.
