I read Hells Angels a long time ago but don’t really remember enjoying his writing style, but I’m really enjoying it in this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metronome Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Come back and let us know what you think of it. I've had a few of his books downloaded for a while but the queue is long! Have barely been able to read anything other than a textbook this year. Thumbs down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t start this until a few days ago. Just finished though. I’d say Dark Matter and Recursion are superior, but this was still a very entertaining book. He always does great work.

Fist 666 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I'm a bit nervous, but the reviews have been rave. The last book he released seems to have been revised by history as "an adapted screenplay" (not a book?) for The Counselor, which was just straight trash. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collean Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Just now I started reading "The Catcher in the Rye" by the writer Salinger. From the first pages, I begin to recognize the main character in myself. The further the more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing and travelling before it was mainstream and fancy charter boats etc. Good read although a bit rambling at times. His description of surfing and the people/emotions is great. The end was a little weak but it was a biography so not really a Hollywood climax Also just finished into thin air by John krakauer. Harrowing tale of Everest summit gone terribly wrong. Short and to the point. Great book Now I'm also trying to write books, but it's not working out very well. I recently tried using nursing writing services and they helped me a lot. Although I am still far from perfect writing, I am just learning to write. So I think I just need to read more books for experience I love Everest books, I recommend The Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession and Death on Mount Everest by Mark Synnott (2021) This new book about Everest depicts both the mystery of the mountain and the misery of people preoccupied with endless pleasure. It helps the reader understand the mountain, the history of the climb and Mark Synnot's journey up the famous north face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
