What helped me get back into reading was to pickup something I read a long time ago and really liked and reread it. I read Jurassic Park then the Lost World then went for something new in gone girl. Got me moving again and now I'm going to get into something denser

Anyone pick up Shea Serrano's book?

The story of how it became a bestseller is pretty cool.

Palmy, find some good audiobooks and hop on your bike (with one earpbud only)

Bucky, I remember you being a big audio book fan - any recommendations? I'm into history stuff lately.

sounds like a good idea. cant find the post from not too long ago, think it was in an exercise thread, but someone had mentioned a cool podcast to listen to while running. could sort of be the same thing.

I just started reading The Martian. It was foolish to start it at work because I do not want to put it down.

Big Bad Book of Bill Murray is pretty interesting, very light. Odd to read on kindle because it feels like a coffee table book.

Gives brief backstories on each film, how the project got to him, what production was like, etc. I didn't know much of Caddyshack was based on real people including the Murray brothers.

Finished The Martian. I found it to be a captivating read and really want to go see the movie now. I finished my 2015 goal of 25 books. I did cheat a little by re-reading the Harry Potter series.

11/22/63 was entertaining. I then picked up Portnoy's Complaint and put it back down and started Yes, Please. I also bought Fate and Furies and A Brief History of Seven Killings.

Portnoy's Complaint is dark but worth pucking back up and finishing

Oh I literally only picked it up and put it down. It's on my shelf so I will get to it in time...just wasn't feeling it quite yet.

Irrational Exuberance is a bit too dull for me.

by **JUburton** » Wed Dec 09, 2015 09:08:56

Yes, Please was...fine. Fates and Furies is pretty captivating. Lauren Groff is a really talented writer.

I thought Portnoy's Complaint was hilarious. That's the one where he masturbates with liver, and then the family eats it, right?

by **Grotewold** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 15:07:55

buying STATION ELEVEN for all of the book readers in my life this Christmas

by **JUburton** » Fri Dec 11, 2015 15:14:02

Good choice.

Kind of an "of its time" novel, and a movie, with Dick Benjamin in the title role, that, well, it was no Goodbye Columbus, I assure you
