Books I have a copy of and plan to read but have not yet started, in rough order of when I hope to get to them. Feel free to share your own to-read lists.
Ring and Exultant by Stephen Baxter
Surface Detail and The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks. Possibly the rest of the Culture series too. I have only read The Player of Games and Excession.
Dresden Files by Jim Butcher - at least the first one, Storm Front
The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
Dune by Frank Herbert
Ulyssses by James Joyce
Forum signatures are bullshit. Nobody wants to waste their time and bandwidth reading something they have read 29,998,559,671,349 times before.
I own the Dresden series up to Ghost Story, but there were certain plot points around that book I disliked, so, that's where I stopped reading.
I tried reading the Dune series, not sure if I finished the first book, but certainly just couldn't get into the series.
That was years ago though, maybe I'd like it more now.
Never read or wanted to read anything by Richard Dawkins.
Not that his writing is necessarily 'bad, I just didn't care for the approach of New Atheism.
Not sure I ever 'finished reading Ulyssses by James Joyce.
I didn't care for it.
I think there's an interesting post on DART or DDO about it.
About the type of people it was written for. Heh, I'm not one of them.
. . .
Eh, few books I own I want to have read
The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
The Bible
Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville
Various writings by Nietzsche
. . .
Books I'd 'recommend to other people, in no particular order
Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong
White Fang by Jack Londen
Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
Ciaphas Cain series by Sandy Mitchell
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion by Tolkien
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
. . .
I've only 10 more pages/chapters, and I'll have finally finished reading the Tao Te Ching.
Dune by Frank Herbert
I really liked 'Chapterhouse: Dune'. Darwi Odrade is one of my favorite female characters.
That is quite a broad selection of your reading list
Mine is The Will of the Many, Project Hail Mary, the Red Rising series, The Stormlight Archives, and Stranger in a Strange Land.
Dresden Files is good, just my caliber of goofy supernatural adventure. Glad my friend told me to make sure to finish at least book two before I made a decision on whether to stay with the series, though.
I kind of wish I'd kept a list over the years, of every book I've ever read, and my thoughts on said books.
The knowledge still remains within you.
Yeah, but get's buried, diluted, and forgotten over the years.
If you don't use it, you lose it, as people say.
I have plenty more to read from Asenath Mason. Tho google Notebook AI makes it possible to chat with book.
That 'does sound kind of cool, chatting with a book.
Could ask it questions while it tells the story.
It's strange, Ulysses is so famous but I've never actually met someone who enjoyed it.
They say that about your penis as well.
