So glad to hear you are liking the Dark Tower now. It’s one of my all time favorite series. I’ve read the Gunslinger 5 times now and every time it gets better.

Thanks! King’s imagination on display in these books is simply staggering. The cast of characters is so unique, I’m in awe.

I'm so glad you're enjoying The Dark Tower series from King. I recall you weren't too enthusiastic about the first book. It's such a joy when you discover something that you really love.

Absolutely agree with you, I don't know how anyone disliked The Fall of Hyperion that liked the first book! Books 3 and 4 of The Dark Tower are definitely my favorites of the series.

That's great to hear as I'm finishing book 2 today and looking forward to reading The Waste Lands, hopefully next month! And yes, Fall of Hyperion was exactly what I hoped it would be. 🙌

I'm glad you've had such a great first quarter of reading! My top 3 reads this quarter are: Machine Vendetta by Alastair Reynolds, No Enemy But Time by Michael Bishop, How They Broke Britain by James O'Brien (this last is non-fiction). Looking forward to the buddy read!

I would recommend No Country for Old Men as your next Cormac read. Trust me pardner. The best book I have read so far this year is Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard. I still think about it. The characters and story are based in a WWII prisoner camp but it feels like an apocalyptic adventure. Fascinating. It is always great to discover books that speak to you. Well done.

Thank You for the recommendations. I was thinking of Blood Meridian as my next McCarthy read, but No Country is a great option; it has been long enough (maybe 15 years) since I watched the movie. Empire of the Sun is another one that I watched the film (25 years ago?) but have not read the book. I will remedy that at some point. 👍

Ooh i picked up Vanishing Birds the other day, it sounded good, glad to hear you enjoyed it. I read A Time of Changes last year, loved it and it's still my favourite Silverberg now. I need to read Hyperion cantos again. It's been at least 10 years. Dark Tower is in my top 10 series, its so good. Another one I should re-read!! I read the first few as they came out in the 80s/90s, when King was writing them as a hobby, not really sure where it was going or if he'd ever finish it. Good luck with your Q2 reading, i think you'll like Inverted World. 👍

Yes, I remember you talked about Vanished Birds in your recent book haul video. I hope you like it. And I hope Inverted World will prove a good choice for a buddy read. 👍 Thanks

I wish I like Fall of Hyperion as much as you did. Any plans for your next McCarthy read? Right into the crossing or explore more of his catalog?

Since the crossing is not a direct sequel, I think the next McCarthy will be either Blood Meridian or No country for old Men. Those two have been on my tbr for a while.
