The Mist.
That story really creeped me out, not sure I want to see it :sweat_smile:

Read all of those too :+1:

I had to look around a bit to make sure it was @Lostmarbles who recommended The Passage trilogy by Justin Cronin.
Indeed it was.

I read the first two, started on 3 and had a bit of a break. Too busy.
I picked it up again a few days ago.

Now when I started reading them, there was no corona. The situation has changed, it’s a bit weird. I still think I prefer corona over that one.

Whatever you do, Do NOT read The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Non-fiction that will keep you up nights.

Well written book, though @Lostmarbles. I reread that a few months ago… Chills, man.

An excellent book. Very eye-opening as I didn’t know all of that actually happened. There was a mini-series made, unlike “Outbreak” which was very loosely based on it, but I haven’t seen it.

Pretty much any humor writer… However, my all time favorite is David Sedaris. :smile: I can re-read any of his books and never get tired of them. Fortunately, he writes for the New Yorker on occasion, so I get my dose of David in between his book releases. :wink:

Laughter is truly the best medicine! :laughing:

I’m going to have to check him out.
Every read Christopher Moore? Haven’t ready anything from the past few years, but his older stuff is just gold. “Lamb” is one of the funniest books I’ve ever read, but many find the subject matter to be wrong.

I’m trying to finish the Jeff Vandermeer series - I read “Annihilation” and “Authority” and I am about halfway through “Acceptance”. Weird series. So far I liked the first one best :stuck_out_tongue:

I am also reading “Moonwalking With Einstein” by Joshua Foer - pretty cool so far.

Also I won a copy of Stephen King’s “The Outsider” but it’s in Danish, so I might let my kids read that and order the English one :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I just sent Christopher Moore’s “Lamb” to my kindle along with David Sedaris’ “Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls”, as I could use a bit of humor - it’s been a while since I read a funny book :stuck_out_tongue:

To answer your question… No. However, I’m still discovering new writers every day… as everyone should. :grinning: Thanks for the heads up!

If it’s anywhere close to Monty Pythons “Life of Brian”… I’ll put you in my Last Will & Testament. :laughing:

Some books will make you giggle internally. This one will have other people telling you to shut up.

So today I got to the end of book 3 from the passage trilogy by Justin Cronin.
It was pretty weird, first two books I read before the pandemic, the last one during.
The eeriest thing was that the vampire virus in the book was transmitted to Humans by Bats :scream:

I’m now waiting for the day Corona victims turn into vampires. :vampire:

I’m in the process of re-reading the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.

A combination mystery, slightly paranormal, procedural police/FBI drama action series.

Very interesting if it’s your thing(s) lol
