It's a book written by Todd McCaffrey, Anne McCaffrey's son, called Dragons Code. In the third book of the Dragonriders of Pern series, Anne McCaffrey tells of the Oldtimers and the exile of their rebellious dissidents to the southern continent. Todd picks up one event from that book, and backfills the story.

@4meAndyou It's great he's continuing the series! I haven't read any Anne McCaffrey's but have heard of them 🐉
4meAndyou · F
@BritChick Anyone who loves reading fantasies about dragons would love the series. Anne's daughter, Gigi, wrote her own extension of the series, called Dragongirl.

A 3 part group - The Concise books .. Mastery, Power and Seduction by Robert Greene. A friend recommended them. Not far enough in yet to say much.

Also researching real estate investment options within Individual Retirement Accounts and other investment options / strategies for retirees.

A humorous novel called "They came from SW19" by Nigel Williams. It's a follow-up to "The Wimbledon Poisoner" - set in the London suburb where the rather famous tennis tournament is held. (I used to live there in the late 1970s/early '80s)
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@ArtieKat That sounds fun! ☺
Uncfred · 61-69, M
I once read Asimov - I robot, and got gripped by it until I finished all the stories.
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@Uncfred It's sad finishing a series 🥺
Uncfred · 61-69, M
@BritChick Yea honey, and I could never get into another one all those years ago. I did watch the film, which in some ways resembled the book, but it was not as good.
fun4us2b · M
@Uncfred There's probably 40 books that loosely linked to iRobot by Asimov starting I think with Caves of Steel, Naked Sun then Robots at Dawn...really good stuff...
FrugalNoodle · 46-50, M
My overall reading would be too much to relate, but the single most intensive focus of mine are the 14 completed novels of Charles Dickens, all at once through audiobooks, this will be an approach using multiple recordings per book, as well as repeating certain recordings.
Uncfred · 61-69, M
I wish I could enjoy reading, all I read are text books to do with work.☹
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
Currently on the go The chemist by AA Dhand.
Bit of a thriller.

The Palestinian lie by O. Isaac.
Bit of an 'anti-Palestinian' rant. Supposedly disecting disinformation surrounding immigration into Israel and all the foreign interference ever since.

And Laugh out loud - short humourus stories for seniors - J Lee Ander
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@Picklebobble2 Interesting mix!
Picklebobble2 · 56-60, M
@BritChick I try and have three or four on the go at the same time.

A mix of historical; current and comedic.
That way I can dip in and read a chapter or two depending on how i feel at the time.
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@Picklebobble2 I used to do that but not these days for some reason.

@mikey333 That's great. I tend to go for natural cures first, before medical 👍

DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Shadows Upon Time by Christopher Ruocchio and Excession by Iain M. Banks. The first is a space-opera fantasy, the second more post-humanist space opera.
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@BritChick Familiar?
BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@DunningKruger I had a quick Google, sound intriguing.
Herscht 07769 by László Krasznahorkai. There is not one single fullstop in that book. Even the titles of each chapter are embedded in one single sentence of 300+ pages.
A Line in the Sand by James Barr about the French British division of the Middle East after WW1

BritChick · 26-30, FNew
@SunshineGirl Quick google - sounds exciting and v clever!
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@BritChick It's been difficult to get into, but I think it will be worth it 🙂

Name of the Rose and Baudolino are excellent novels by the same author if you want to give him a try.
