Read a few Harris books over the years and enjoyed them. Pompeii especially.
Finished Act of Oblivion a few weeks ago and it was pretty decent as well.
Nice to know there's something new coming soon.

I'm dipping in and out of the Aubrey-Maturin series and it's heavy enough going what with all the naval warfare terminology. 20 of them in the fucking series as well. And I'm on no. 3...

I popped The Exile onto the kindle there last night, so thanks to whoever first mentioned that here.
If you're after more on that saga, The Finish: The Killing of Osama Bin Laden - Mark Bowden is well worth checking out.

I thought the ending of Act Of Oblivion was fairly rushed and anticlimactic TBH but otherwise it was pretty good. Pompeii was my first of his to read, really liked that one.

Still plodding through The Plague.  It is actually very good but it is taking me years to get through for some reason.

Just had The Third Reich in Power arrive at the lib. It's a fuckin' brick of a book! There are people waiting for it too. No way I get through it in 3 weeks given I still have other books to finish off too...

About 100 pages into Pet Cemetery. Quality horror.

One of King's better ones for sure.

Reading the stand by him atm. Only about way but it's shaping up to my one of my favourite of his.

About 100 pages into Pet Cemetery. Quality horror.

It's perfect. Just a lovely sense of dread throughout it.

Currently reading The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, my first of his. Post apocalyptic religious cult with a hatred of mutants or 'deviates'. Really good so far.

Recently read a horror called Whispers In The Dark by Allison Gunn. City cop moves to rural town, relationship falling apart due to family trauma, kids go missing in the woods, supernatural shenanigans, blah blah blah. Almost every character is an asshole, had its moments but not great overall.

Also read a collection of sci fi short stories called Forward, an Amazon Prime free thing. Six in all, hit and miss but a good line up of authors (Paul Tremblay, Andy Weir, etc). Worth a look.
