Recently I've read Ready Player One and I just finished The Lost Fleet, Beyond the Frontier series. I flew through RPO - I didn't get every single reference but I thought it such a charmingly written book with some really engaging characters. Really looking forward to the film now.

Beyond the Frontier...I'm kinda sad it's over. There's a couple of other spin-offs but I've spent about 10 books with the same core characters, it'll be weird moving on.

It from Stephen King.

One of my favorite book from him, along with The Stand, The Mist and Gerald's Game.

I've had IT for years but never got around to reading it. Was just such a fat book, looking at it. Is it easy to get into?

The six phone calls chapter can be rough going, but once you get past that the book is a breeze.

Thanks, Kira. Will add it to the actual to-read pile. Next up, after I finish the Stargate Atlantis book I'm reading, is Neuromancer.

Ages ago I was helping to clear out a factory and came across copies of the original Star Wars trilogy novelisations (the first of which, despite crediting George Lucas on the cover, was actually written by Alan Dean Foster). Nabbed them on the off chance they might be worth something (probably not, they aren't original prints) and only just got around to starting A New Hope last night. I'm struck by how it's considerably more violent than the film so far. Also it's weird reading ADF's quite adult prose style in a novel adaptation of what I've always considered a kids' film, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

Finished up Revival by Stephen King, and I very much loved it. I'm moving on to The Bachman Books soon enough.

Just started to read Neuromancer. It's been on the list for ages, picked it up a month or two ago and have no finally started it! Only half a chapter in but enjoying it so far.

I did read Neoromancer ages ago and frankly speaking couldn't understand everything.

At the moment I'm struggling a bit with first part of The Raven Rings trilogy, titled Odin's Child (no English translation yet but there is Polish) by Norwegian Siri Pettersen. As soon as I finish I'm gonna start The Liberation by Ian Tregillis. It's the last book of The Alchemy Wars trilogy. If you like steampunk just read it!

Finished reading Rage by Stephen K--- er, Richard Bachman. It had some good qualities, but ultimately didn't work.
