I'm curious to hear what you think of that, Frank. Its been in my Audible wishlist for a while now, mostly due to some cool narrators involved. The first 5 are Alessandro Juliani from BSG, and then Wil Wheaton picks them up at book 6.
More Heinlein . . . Job: A Comedy of Justice.
Just finished a book called Matched.
Started The Maze Runner.
Next Enclave
Trying to figure which series I will like to go after first.But I'm eventually going to get each series.

Finished "Persuader" by Lee Child and then the short story compilation "A Study in Sherlock"
Next up is either Lee Child's "The Enemy" or Jim Butcher's "Storm Front", whichever the digital library releases to me first. I also have "Secondhand Souls" on order, it s/b here soon

Hmm, read a Pulitzer Prize winner the last couple days, Martin Dressler. It was ok, very old fashioned in a way, but a good read, despite having to turn the pages by hand
LOL. You're definitely not the only one John. I know they rebranded the EU as "Legends"... Still not happy though. And I agree the other two books they've released haven't been great. I'm excited for the new on coming in September that's supposed to be the new" what happened ABY" . Here's hoping they make it good.
Also, I've read all of Sanderson's books and honestly all of them, both the standalone and series, could be made into shows on a cable channel. Maybe one day (I think I remember something about his "Legion" book coming to tv?)
Armada was fantastic. An excellent sophomore effort. I really hope Cline continues to write.
About 50% through a Gordon Ramsey biography. Wanted go give my head a break from the fiction for a bit.
Cheers

Another SW EU junkie here, made me break out the Thrawn trilogy again.
Ready Player One
An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942–1943 by Rick Atkinson.
I cannot put this book down!
There is something to be said about former newspaper reporters. They are trained and can write a narrative like no other writers.

Finished King's Wolves of the Calla. I'll take a break from gunslingers and The Dark Tower series to return to some dragon fantasy via Naomi Novik. I haven't read a Temeraire book in a while, so I look forward to Empire of Ivory.
Finished White Fang, just started The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
I finished Nine Princes in Amber. It was ok. I think it's dialog suffers a little. I'm sure I'll pick up book 2 at some point, but there are a lot more books I'd rather read first.
I am Pilgrim, by Terry Hayes. About 300 pages in with a long way to go; this is a big thick novel.
Kind of a hybrid between a police procedural and a modern espionage thriller. So far I like it a lot. The author, whoever he is, is clearly a fan of the early Frederick Forsyth and John Le Carre novels. And that is ok by me, I love them too. So far it is a darn good read for fans of the old spy novels.

Just began the "Wright Brothers".
I'm desperately trying to get into Discworld by Terry Pratchett. More than any other book, this one is eluding me. I've started The Colour of Magic at least 3 times. It's right up my alley, and I loved Pratchett and Gaiman's co-written novel Good Omens. I just don't know why I can't get into this one. I was thinking it was the sarcastic silliness, but hey, I love Douglas Adams!!!
I'm also listening to Eragon on tape, which is absolutely awesome. I have no idea how I didn't find this book years ago.

^ I'm like this. Discworld seems like the kind of series I should like, but for some reason I've never tried to read it.
Speaking of Douglas Adams, it's about time I read Hitchhikers again.
