What are you reading?

[Noomi]

I have been a life-long reader, or as close to it as one can get. Read Little Women when I was eight. So you can imagine my surprise when I called my nephew about fifty pages into Game of Thrones and said "TOO MANY CHARACTERS! I CANNOT FOLLOW!" He told me to calm down and keep reading, it would be worth it.

He was right. I think that must have been my first experience with the switched viewpoints of storytelling (not first person, but still quite confusing).

I would love to read Game Of Thrones but I can't find any novels with large print. The print in the paperbacks is too small for me to read, even with my glasses on. Its about one size smaller than the writing on this forum. Until I find a book with a font I can actually read, I won't be reading them any time soon!

Triptych, Karen Slaughter.

I have all of her books. She is amazing. My fave character is Lena - have you read Skin Privilege? It might be known as Beyond Reach over there - I couldn't believe the ending!

Aww, man! You need a Kindle. Make the font whatever size you wish.

I have a Kindle but I haven't used it to purchase many books - I always find them cheaper in the store, and I admit that I do prefer the book over reading it on a little electronic device.

Well, hopefully GRRM will come out with large print. Of course, I can't even imagine how big the books would be.

Oh hey! Maybe you could just read with a magnifier?

Yeah I could, but I will wait. I have about 100 books to make my way through first!

This is a pretty cool thread for me to find new authors!

Do you use Fantastic Fiction I love it for checking out what order series books should be read in.

I prefer to read books in order and I get shitty when I don't. The one I have just started, I should have read before I read the last book I read. So frustrated to have discovered that!

Same here, so I am now damn near anal on reading them in the order created.

What's your favorite(s) genre?

I like crime/thrillers best. Patricia Cornwell and Linda Fairstein are my faves, also Jodi Picoult.

My sister LOVES Jodi Picoult. I did read one book by her, and she is very talented.

Fascinating examination of how the two hemispheres of the brain work, and on the origins of language as music :
