Actually, yes. Both Wally Lamb novels are my favorite. Any Johnathan Kellerman novel. Project Hail Mary is great.

11/22/63 was a nice read, and all the autobiographies were good. Christopher Reeves was heart renchin.

All The Books I Read In 2023 (imgur.com)
 

These are all the books I have read either at work or home during 2023. To add to the list, I am going include the audiobooks I have listened to this year.

Eyes of the Void by Adrain Tchaikovsky

The Web by Jonathan Kellerman

I'm Glad My Mom is Dead by Jennette McCurdy

Holly by Stephen King (yes, listened and read the book)

Fairytale by Stephen King

All the below I listened to in anticipation of Holly coming out. All written by Stephen King.

Mr Mercedes Finder's Keepers If It Bleeds. Life of Chuck. The Outsider.       

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

The Woman Who Wouldn't by Gene Wilder

The Family Plot by Cherie Priest

DumaKey by Stephen King

Later by Stephen King

Old Mans War by John Scatzi

Neuromancer by William Gibson

Off To Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer

Run Program by Scott Meyer

The Talisman by Stephen King

Mile 81 by Stephen King

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb

The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb

Now that is all the books some of these I read before or listened to many times, and I am pretty sure there some I forgot.

I read at least one book a day unless really busy, then maybe can take up to three days.

My 40 minutes of round trip commute, along with my other traveling, allows me to listen to a lot of audiobooks.

I hope to beat this reading record for 2024.

Happy New Year!

Anyone here ready for Holly by Stephen King? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am looking forward to this novel. I love this character and look forward to reading another case with her as the lead.

I am a little frustrated when I noticed that Will Patton will not be the voice for the audiobook, but I will adjust because I will at least have a physical copy.

Who else is excited for this novel?

I disagree smart phones have shown an effect on people memory especially younger adults and children. Blue light alone causes are harm.

Also I use to be able to memorize every one phone number now we have contacts to store them in.

Also getting places we didn't rely on Google Maps.

Also explains why the world is so fucked up and how fascism can take. Also explains why there so many assholes in the world. Most people at some point play evil when they played Sims. Weather it was the simple version and you cause tornadoes to tear through your city. Our the more modern versions. I seen clips were players would lock a character in a doorless room. Or take away the ladder in the pool and the character would drown.

There other examples but it maybe why Trump is so popular in America and why so many people that actually want the world to burn and enjoy fucking up the environment.

Some things I think about occasionally. So should you.
