The Plantagenets by Dan Jones. The story of the warrior kings and queens who made England from Henry II through Richard II. I'm a huge lover of history, so this book was very entertaining, and I learned a lot. Many thanks to whichever poster it was on here who recommended Dan Jones, because this book was awesome and I will definitely put some of his other books on my future reading list.

That might be me because I recommended him after listening to this audio book and I don't think i've seen anybody else recommend him or this book. And you're right, it's a great book if you're into history, especially that period of history. He's a very good writer and very good narrator of his books. I've also listened to Powers and Thrones by him, and enjoyed it equally as much, although I think I prefer the The Plantagenets history just a little more. I've listened to a handful of other audiobooks about the Dark and Medieval ages, some of them better than others, but none of 'em as good as his books.

Also could be me as I recommended it somewhere along the way on here. Great book.

Not a book, but I had never seen the movie Watership Down (1978).
That was definitely not a movie for kids. The scene where the rabbits were trapped in the filled burrows was so disturbing.
So of course I had to order the book. I think my next fiction after gone with the wind is going to be crime and punishment, then may take a trip through rabbit land.
Yeah, that was a pretty brutal scene. I think the ratings system when we were younger either gave kids more credit to be able to deal with tough realities, or finally got fine tuned to more clearly reflect content, depending how you want to look at it.
I think Gen X kids saw and heard things that would blow away kids these days. I wonder how much I was just oblivious or how much we were just used to.
I grew up on Mel Brooks movies!
But yeah, that was a disturbing scene that I could see creeping into a kid's nightmares.
But I think you'll see why it is such a beloved story for so many. I hope you dig it.
PG-13. I remember it well. I believe Red Dawn was the first movie released as PG-13. I was 11 when it came out in 1984 and I begged my parent's to go see it.

Flamingo Kid actually got the first PG-13 rating from the MPAA but Red Dawn was released first.
And it was all due to Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom AND Gremlins - with parents upset at the graphic violence in those films in PG rated movies earlier that year.
Funny nobody was upset about Kramer vs Kramer in 1979 that had a PG rating and full frontal nudity. Others like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Jabberwocky, Airplane, and 16 Candles had a lot of nudity too.
And JAWS was a PG movie when it was released with both mild nudity and graphic violence and gore.
Discovery by J.A.J. Minton (Husband, Wife, & Son)
Really cool cosmic Cthulu concept that I felt lost momentum in parts due to pov choices, not sure if it was a me thing or an execution thing.
Reminded me a little of World War Z stylistically although with a finite amount of characters. I had similar criticisms of that book as well and it is generally well thought of, so it definitely might be a me thing or a timing thing in general.
I'd give it a C+ overall with the caveat that I'll still likely pick up the sequel to see where it goes, just won't go out of the way for it.

Absolutely . I read every book from grade 4-7 . Loved all the acccents as well. Such great kid books, action, personality , bravery , sacrifice, adventure.
Recommend them to all and grateful for the reminder . Think I'll read Salamandastron to my 7 year old this summer

Twelve Months - Jim Butcher
Didn't want to keep reading because this series is coming to an end. Once I got over my own angst, it was another great book in Dresden series. Now, I started his Codex Alexa

Dark Age (Red Rising book 5) done. While book 4 and first half of book 5 had a hard time living up to the original trilogy, holy crap did things take off. Jumping into Light Bringer immediately. Hear its the best of them all too…

Is it though? Has he said he's going to wrap up the next big event that was referred to in this book in just 1-2 books? My takeaway from this book was that this one was basically an interlude to the next big story arc.

I really enjoyed Codex Alera. Even more so when I read about the story behind the series.
That is good news!!! Hoozah!

I'm taking this from the book itself with the intro of Drakul who appears to be an omega level being who tells Dresden he's preparing for the next big "game".

Had not seen that. Pretty cool. In the back of my mind I think I almost noticed it. See my previous comment about StarCraft. To me the Vord strongly resemble the Zerg race from that game - the Queen, wax spiders, croach. Don't know anything about Pokmon.
I can completely see it though. And I agree he is an extremely talented writer. The series does not read anything like Dresden or the Aeronaut series. I find that many writers I enjoy tend to carry some/a lot of habit/tone/ style across different series and you can pretty much always tell a book is theirs. Not necessarily a negative thing, but I am impressed that he can avoid that.

Yeah, I know nothing about Pokemon except that my son was into it and I can pick out one or two characters. Just thought it was cool that he proved his point. I agree that he doesn't necessarily have a set "style". I like the Aeronaut series as well. For me, Codex Alera was just a clean, well written story that was completed. You definitely have to stick it out because it is a slow build but definitely a fun read as a whole.
Bondage of the Will by Martin Luther (physical book). Woof. Talk about dense.

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. Devastating, raw, and incredible. If you like Hemingway, this is the best book of his that I've read yet. Hemingway's prose is unmatched; he's simply one of the greatest authors of all time.

The only Hemingway book I've ever read is The Old Man and the Sea which I absolutely despised. How does this rate against that knowing my opinion?
It is superior by a large margin. Although to be fair, I last read both of those in high school.

It depends. If you despised The Old Man and the Sea because of the writing style, then you won't like any Hemingway. If you despised it because you didn't like the way it ended, then you won't like any Hemingway. But if you despised it only because it was too boring for you(which is a common, valid criticism), then I suggest you try A Farewell to Arms.
Baldur's Gate: Baldur's Gate Book 1 by Philip Athans -- Not good. The game is so popular I thought this would be an enjoyable read. 3/4 of the way through I would have given it an F. It improved enough towards the end to possibly give it a D to C- then the abrupt ending drug it back down to, at best, a D-. There are 2 more in the series. not sure I will pursue. Just very amateurish, unlikeable characters and barely any continuity.
I finished The Stand today and was disappointed with how the book ends. I know many have mentioned on here that Stephen Kings books tend to not have strong endings (or at least endings that match the great story that he creates). I actually enjoyed the majority of the book and most of the characters (there are quite a few character groups to follow). The first half of the book reminded me of World War Z with many short stories and accounts from around the country.
Now back to the Dark Tower Wolves of Calla. At least I have some good back story of the man in black.

Yes you do, and wolves of the calla might be my favorite of the dark tower series. Enjoy. That one is a heck of a ride

Oof. I've heard bad things about that storyline in general, if it's the one I'm thinking of, kinda *******izes the plot of the game and ruins the ending. If it's what I'm thinking of.
Meanwhile, I finished Light Bringer (Red Rising book 6). Boy I need book 7 asap. Guess I'll have to read them all again!
Completed (audio): Farewell My Lovely by Raymond Chandler, his second full-length Marlowe novel. God, this guy was such a great writer. Ray Porter again did a great job narrating. Story is almost as convoluted as The Big Sleep, but has a better through line; doesn't matter - Chandler's prose is the draw.
"It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window."
"I needed a drink. I needed a lot of life insurance. I needed a vacation. I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat, and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room."

The Chamber of Secrets by by J.K. Rowling - First time rereading since before the first film was released. Forgotten how much I really enjoyed this series. The film leaves out and strays from the book more than I recall from the Sorcerer's Stone .
Still slowly making my way through The Glass Universe by Dava Sobel (about a quarter of the way through) but truth be told I'll probably have zipped through the Prisoner of Azkaban before I'm halfway through this one.
Audiobooks
Don Quixote Part 2 by Miguel de Cervantes (B) - Did not enjoy this continuation of the story as much the first part. Still many funny moments but also more sad. In Part 1 the adventures were the consequences of a mad mind that prefers the world of his imagination. In Part 2, Don Quixote and Sancho having become famous (infamous) through a book of their earlier adventures, have most of their adventures placed before them by a Duke and Duchess for their own amusement which seems a bit cruel to me.
Hitler's Last Soldier in America by Georg Gaertner, Arnold Krammer (B+) - An extraordinary memoir about a German POW who escaped a camp in New Mexico in December '45 due to not wanting to be repatriated to his home which was it the Soviet Occupation Zone. A brief overview of the story via The History Guy.

Monster Hunter Memoirs: Fever MHI Memoirs book 4 by Larry Correia and Jason Cordova -- I just really like the MHI series and the Memoirs bring in characters from the past or ones that have been mentioned but take no part in the current timeline.
Thanks for the quotes. That sounds so fun I've got to try it.
Agree with you that second part of Don Quixote is sadder. The ending still sticks with me, wasn't expecting that at all.
However, there's some excellent moments in there. I for one fondly remember Don Quixote's freeing of the convict caravan.

RE Lee, A Biography. Volume IV of IV. By Douglass Southall Freeman. Audiobook narrated by charlton griffin
Robert E. Lee. Soldier. Citizen. Gentleman. Traitor. Hero. American.
I struggle to think of any other American historical figure which whips up as much frenzy as Lee. Whether it is worship of him as a hero, or condemnation of him as a traitor and bigoted monster.
The former, Lee would be extremely irritated if not outright angry and I'm sure would insist he was no hero, doing only his duty for his country. The latter, I think he would simply look at the speaker with pitied reproach.
In this 4 Volume, Pulitzer-Prize winning biography takes us through a journey which spans from the deserts of Mexico to the fields of Gettysburg. Freeman's treatment of Lee is essentially unheard of in modern times - which is to say, a critical but favorable analysis of the man. It is nearly impossible in contemporary times to encounter a critical or nuanced discussion of Lee, whether by his fans or detractors, but Freeman takes us there.
As I alluded to, Freeman clearly is an admirer of Lee's, but he doesn't shy away from criticizing him. A common motif is Lee's aloofness to the execution of orders by subordinates, ostensibly due to his excruciating courtesy and worrying of hurting others. This indecisiveness caused several Confederate losses and Freeman explains them in meticulous detail.
If you want to see the real Robert E. Lee, without the dukes of hazard theme song playing, or images of rabid vandals tearing down his statues front of your mind, do like Freeman did and invited me, and invites you to do.
Sit at Lee's campfire for awhile, and I dare you to walk away unchanged.
Notes about the audio recording specifically:
I cannot recommend the company Audio Connoisseur enough. The narrator is always Charlton Griffin who, along with Scott Brick, I think are the two best narrators around.
AC has around 300 titles available now on Audible and Apple. Many of which are older, somewhat forgotten books that are either out of print or in the public domain. However, AC's most popular book is a narration of the complete Sherlock Holmes books so there's classic fiction in there too, including many epic poems including Homer.
I really appreciate what they did with this Lee book. The physical edition of this book is not readily available and can only be bought on eBay or Amazon by rare or collectible book dealers. An abridged, one volume version was released in the early 2000s which to be fair is available on Amazon via paperback.
In line with this, I'm now listening to AC's production of "Reconstruction, Political and Economic, 1865-1877" by William A. Dunning. Released in 1903, this book is more or less banned these days and harder to find than the Lee biography. I had no idea this was such a controversial book but give it a search.

Per AI:
Quote:
While not banned, the book is widely considered historically inaccurate by modern scholars. Published in 1907, Dunning's work established the "Dunning School" of historiography, which promoted the now-discredited view that Reconstruction was a corrupt failure dominated by vindictive Northerners and politically unfit African Americans. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
You can access and read the full text of Reconstruction, Political and Economic, 1865-1877 through open-access resources like the Internet Archive PDF or by locating archival scans on the University of Pennsylvania Online Books Page. [1]
I finished listening to Free Ride by Noraly Shoenmaker, aka YouTube's Itchy Boots. It was a good book, especially if you enjoy motorcycle travels. You get a lot of detail that was never in her videos, mostly about her personally, but also travel-related stories that never featured on her channel. I really enjoyed it.

Putting this in my queue. Of course, I still have the entire hardcover Shelby Foote Civil War collection sitting on the shelf that I haven't touched yet. It's daunting to even look at.
