Any Good Books Lately?
-
Yes that happens to me too. Especially at night when I invariably wake up at about 3 or 3:30 and then start listening. Sometimes I go an hour sometimes a couple hours but usually will fall asleep and then have to backtrack.

I just purchased Term Limits by Vince Flynn.

Just curious where do you all get your books?
I've been buying through Amazon.com especially since I've got prime, free shipping two day delivery. Cookbooks, tons for my wife and her mom, some new most used but like new condition.
-
I got this one thru Amazon (I have Prime). But sometimes they don't have what I'm looking for and I go through Barnes and Noble or just google the book I'm looking for and it will come up.

You can get really spoiled with prime and the generally no tax, free delivery, two day delivery......without leaving the house. I'm expecting a 24" tv today for the wife over by her recliner. So easy.

Depending on your cash flow the library has a ton of books records and DVDs.
Because I can only do audio books I've had a subscription to audible.com for almost 20 years.

I almost exclusively just get whatever books I read and DVDs that I watch from the library. There are only 2-3 series that I will actually purchase the DVD for: Game of Thrones, The Last Kingdom.
Right now I am listening to Power and Empire....which has Tom Clancy's name on it....plus whatever guy wrote it under his guise....as he obviously didn't because he has been for like 5 years.
(In checking, the guy writing the new books is Marc Cameron)

My wife and her 93 year old mother especially her mother are voracious readers, my wife for decades now has done the occasional yard sales and got boxes of books for pennies on the dollar we then give many away. Lately once or twice a month she will stop in the local Goodwill store same deal......and the occasional amazing clothing finds, new sweaters with the tags still on $85 for $5. She has also got me some amazing name brand shirts for $2 or $3 each, when I lost a ton of weight in the hospital I needed a new wardrobe 10 shirts for less than $30?
Incredible other deals but we don't really need household stuff but there are the occasional beautiful pieces. They must get estate clear outs and other things these prices for top merchandise are better than yard sale junk.
Oh our neighbors of 28 years just moved we got a few boxes of books and other stuff, her mother also just moved out......looks like we might have a yard sale, must have hundreds of books in our upstairs library.

A lot of folks love Tom Clancy I've never been able to get rolling on any of them.
I do like the last Kingdom series that the Gipper turned me on to. Also a guy named Joe Abercrombie writes some pretty rough novels.

Try James Lee Burke if you like crime novels. His detective Dave Robicheaux has most of his encounters in the La. Swamp country with really well developed villains and victims. You will find most of the older ones in libraries or relatively cheap thru amazon. He has others besides Robicheaux, but I like those best.
Start with his Edgar award winner Black Cherry Blues. One of my favorites from him is "In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead"
His "Lost Get-back Boogie" was nominated for the Pulitzer for fiction.

I've been watching and listening how CDs and DVDs are getting phased out due to the popularity streaming content especially with the new generation of consumers.....plus the costs are WAY down not to burn, stock, sell, etc.
I've got over 100 each of VHS, eight tracks, cassettes to prove it can happen. The problem also is they quit making and selling the devices to play them on.

How do you stream talking books off the internet? I love to read but have been dyslexic my entire life so it takes me about 3 times longer to read a book that it does my wife. I tell her I am just memorizing it. When it comes to history, I think she believes me. LOL!

Audible.com is great. I think there are also some different streaming services, some of them might be free but wouldn't have the selection.

It would not be for books. It would be for movies, TV series etc. For "streaming books" wouldn't Kindle or some such thing do that basically?

You can get books and magazines if you have amazon prime, I've never used it but it appears there.
I just clicked on prime:
1-16 of over 1,000 results for .........kindle&prime....... "prime books free for members" (I had to kill the link)

Good link there Steve-thanks. I have a Kindle Fire but my wife is always on it playing "Goldfish". But it can go to my cell phone using the app. I'll check it out. But there is still a lot to be said curling up with a good book and a cat for company when everyone else is asleep or off doing "stuff".

I go through a lot of them, audio books. My vision is weird so it prevents me from reading the printed word well enough to enjoy a novel. Mostly crime Thrillers and Mysteries or legal drama. With the occasional heavyweight or classical literature tossed in.
If you are a fan of mysteries I don't think anyone is better than Harlan Coben.

Tell me a little more about Harlan Coben-which is your favorite book from him?
I just ordered a good used copy of Tell No One for $5 that included shipping thru Amazon.
Any other you would highly recommend?
