A plus for anyone to read. I was happy to find these two together. 1984 has been a favorite of mine for 40 years. Fact George Orwell wrote this 41 years before 1984 and it is now 41 years and the US is about to fall into this fiction scenario. I thou...

Another hit out of the ball park. It takes place in a mostly-derelict dead-end rust-belt meth town somewhere in middle America, and makes the setting his own. I promise the title is going to be a lot like your final thoughts

In anywhere USA ?? Just when you think Jason Pargin's series couldn't get any further off the rails he goes and takes you into a new level of awe-inspiring stupidity that leaves you breathless from laughter.

This is the first book I read by Stephen King and I was hooked since. Another multi-read book. I had the hard cover and it became a bit much to hold while in my little single seating (library). If you are a fan of possible end of the world scenario s...

One of the first books I remember reading that gave me a feel of the hierarchy of a society and was easy to relate to. A great book that will make you think

This is a great book with many laugh out loud moments for me. In short, Job was a tale of how God plays with our lives. And in this book, God plays with Everything. He plays with a man's reality, his beliefs, and even his faith. Another one I would l...
Job: A Comedy of Justice by Robert A. Heinlein

Need Something Different to Read

These are really good books that are unique in a strange way. I started reading each of these as a way to shake off my usual thrillers and horror books and now I am hooked in the unusual style.

I really enjoyed this and I read the series of books. It was well written and kept me interested and smiling when not trying to figure things out. Otherworldly visitors. As night shift clerk at the twenty-four-hour gas station at the edge of town, Ja...

The title says it all. This author is great. A comic Lovecraftian horror novel written by Jason Pargin under the pseudonym of David Wong. As a Stephen King fan I thought I would not like it but I have read every one of David Wong's books. Expect - It...

I wasn't sure about this unknown author until I read a few statements. "David Wong has managed to write that rarest of things---a genuinely scary story." Boy am I glad I did read it, twice.He keeps its sense of humor strong without ever diminishing t...
John Dies at the End - David Wong
 
Marisa Horn / Leahterwood Design profile picture
This was book two and I read it more than once. The one-liners and running commentary are sincere in a way that makes the horrors he confronts even more unsettling. More to come and John Dies at the End was made into a movie. Look for the next book b...
This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude

Not a scare infested as his first two books but great writing with fun descriptive tale. It caught me with this - A young woman from the trailer park. And her very smelly cat. This is a page turner. A futuristic city where social media is EVERYTHING ...
