Reply to Buy your books or use the library more? by Sleepy_Like_Me

Im 100% digital, so if I can find them at a library (or libraries) digitally then I will. If not then I will buy,

Reply to New favorite book. Recursion by Blake Crouch. by kylozen101020

I loved Recursion. Wasn't the biggest fan of upgrade, but it's a tough follow with how good Recursion was. I still need to read dark matter

I have not read Shock, but if you hold it that highly I will definitely check it out.

The Gunslinger might be a hard sell for someone who is not well versed in King. It is important for the DT series as a whole but it is notorious for being hard to read at least for new DT or King readers. The Stand is amazing and Salem's lot if just as good. My personal recommendation would be to start with a short story collection, with Night Shift being my pick.

It kept me interested in for the most part, read it in about a day. I though it was a solid 3/5, I don't know if I would have given it any higher. I was expecting more of a final showdown near the end, and the last 10 pages are so fucking wild and off the wall.
