Started Red Rising today. I have never read anything like it. Is this considered Sci Fi or dystopian??
I usually read Tom Clancy and thrillers and some Non Fiction
But wanted to get into a series.

Sci FI. You get more of the Sci Fi feel in the second book imo.

Interesting non-fiction (maybe!) account regarding Crew #8 of the sixteen plane Doolittle Raid over Japan in 1942. Of the sixteen planes that took off from the Hornet, fifteen crash-landed or were ditched in China. Plane #8 opted to fly to the Soviet Union and landed safely at a Soviet airbase. The B-25 Mitchell bomber was confiscated by the Soviets, and the crew was interned for over a year.
This book explores the possible reasons for the captain's decision to divert his plane to Soviet Union territory.

I just finished Vanishing Act and have started
This book is a comprehensive report of the execution of three of the Doolittle Raiders by the Japanese for war crimes.

Read Our Man in Tokyo by Steve Kemper the story of Joseph Clark Grew our ambassador to Japan for most of the 1930’s and the lead up to war. Kemper impressed me enough to read another of his books A Splendid Savage, the biography of Frederick Russell Burnham who I can tell you is one of the most amazing Americans who ever lived. Highly recommend both books.

Finished Alloy of Law and started Shadows of Self yesterday. Took me a minute to get in to it but I'm hooking now. I guess I was burnt out on Sanderson and needed a break.

Nice book detailing Aristotle's principles for anyone who has some knowledge on his ideas

Currently halfway through Clear and Present Danger by Tom Clancy. Trying to make it through all of his books.

Finished up that one and can’t wait for the 3rd one in October.
Really enjoyed the character build up so far.

Almost done with the first one and have been impressed with the depth of the story.
The author seems to have thought out the (imaginary) scenario through pretty well and all implications/angles/history/logistics are very intriguing.
I would agree that it is better than ring of fire.
Thx for the rec!

Page turner/thriller
About halfway through. Very well paced. A little corny at times and several italicized paragraphs but really enjoyable overall. Can’t wait to see how it finishes.

Everyone posting in this thread about what they're reading should go back, quote their old post, and post a review when finished with their book.
Would be so helpful and make this thread even better.

OK, I'll do that. I'm reading Paris in the Present Tense by Mark Helprin. He wrote two of my all time favorites - Winter's Tale and A Soldier of the Great War. He fell off a bit after that and I lost track of him. But late last year he came out with a book that almost reached the heights of those two - The Oceans and the Stars. So I've gone back a bit to Paris in the Present Tense. He's toned down the magical realism a great deal since his early years but is still a stellar writer. I'm just over half the way through it and it will probably end up being #4 of my favorite Helprin books, which is still really strong. It's about an older Parisian widower and his travails, with a reasonable amount of the fantastical. For the political types Helprin is an unapologetic conservative who frequently takes swipes at academia and modern society but is never strident about it.
