Finished Don Quixote. That was a ton of fun. Made me laugh out loud a lot.

Currently listening to Don Quixote, the author's preface was an absolute hoot.

Just use some Latin and write a sonnet
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Finished Jonathan Edwards: A Life (Unabridged audiobook) by George Marsden.

An intriguing look into the Great Awakening and Christian life in pre-Revolutionary America mixed with plenty of Edwards theology and his walk with Christ. Great stuff.

Did Not Finish: The Time It Never Rained by Elmer Kelton. What I read was well-written, but just not for me.

In progress: Moonraker by Ian Fleming. Someone in this thread mentioned the Bond novels and it was on sale for like two bucks on Kindle.

I did finish it, but it was a tough read for me.

All,

I'm new to this thread. I listen to audiobooks every day on my Houston commute, so I'm always looking for the next good listen. I decided to try out "Dungeon Crawler Carl" last week based off the praise of multiple people on this thread. Long story short, I liked it so much I am now halfway through book 3. Thanks for the recommendation!

It's good to have you join in. Since this thread is "only" in mid-February, if you want more recommendations, look into the threads for previews years. And don't be shy about adding your thoughts as well. It took me a long time to actually participate in the threads, but everyone is very welcoming and respectful.

Finally finished Tress of the Emerald Sea. Took me awhile to get through it, just didn't pull me in as much.

Reading An Academic Affair for a little break, then probably opening up Piranesi.

7 books down so far, so slightly ahead of the pace for my goal of 50 this year.

I really enjoyed the last couple of Tom Clancy series books by M.P. Woodward. They had a bit more life to them than some of the recent books in the Jack Ryan and Jack Jr. series - not sure how to describe it other than that, so decided to check out his new book Red Tide. It was also very good - like a smaller scope version of Red Storm Rising but between the US and China.

DCC was excellent and I'm looking forward to reading book 2 soon but first I'm reading the new Pendergast novel by Preston and Child. It's a prequel, looking back to his first case in the FBI and apparently describes how Proctor came to be in his service. I just love this series, dating back to the Cabinet of Curiosities. I really would like to do a re-read of the series at some point but there are so many books waiting on my shelf.

Twelve Months by Jim Butcher--I really enjoyed the continuation, you just have to get past the first 1/3 of the Insufferably Mopey Dresden. After that, it picks up and is really good.

Completed:
  • Moonraker by Ian Fleming. Enjoyable little Bond book, definitely unlike the movie.
  • Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper. First book in the Dark is Rising series, which I'd not read in a very long time. A little YA for me, but a nice quick read nonetheless.
Up next: continue the Dark is Rising series

Project Hail Mary. The first 1/4 really did nothing for me but once it got going it kept me interested. In the end I liked it a lot. The narrator on Audible was my real hang up, good in the end but his delivery could be a little annoying at times.
