Wanting to get back into reading, so I charged up my #kindle #paperwhite and have been adding #books to it over the last few days.

Currently re-reading (for about the 5th or 6th time) Another Roadside Attraction by #TomRobbins. I’ve also downloaded most of the rest of his books and will be rereading those soon, too.

I’ve got Daisy Jones and the Six by #TaylorJenkinsReid, Lessons in Chemistry by #BonnieGarmus, and All the Light We Cannot See by #AnthonyDoerr.

My reading tastes are a bit all over the place, and I’m never sure what I may or may not like. But if you’ve any #recommendations for books you think are particularly good, I’m all ears!

#AllTheLightWeCannotSee by #AnthonyDoerr will be adapted into a series by #Netflix

They better not disappoint me! This is one of my all time favorite books!

Ok #7bookstoknowme is tough right, only picking 7 I mean! I don't read as much as I should, but here are the first 7 which came to mind:

#AmericanGods - @neilhimself
#Weaveworld - #CliveBarker
#GuardsGuards - #TerryPratchett
#HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy - #DouglasAdams
All the Light We Cannot See - #AnthonyDoerr
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell - #SusannaClarke
#TheRoad - #CormacMcCarthy

Honestly I could have filled all 7 choices with #discworld books though 🙂

Cosy Sunday vibes. #NewBook #CloudCockooLand #AnthonyDoerr

#AnthonyDoerr at Portland Literary Arts last night: "When I was a kid I thought all writers were dead or lived in Paris. It blows my mind that you can be a bald semi-idiot and write books." That slays me. If I were an author like Doerr, I'd SO aspire to be an author like Doerr.

“The contents of his plans are not nearly as important (…) as their sound—the deep sureness of them. And his voice! He has a soft voice, a voice like a piece of silk you might remove from a drawer only very occasionally, something you’d want to run your hands over again and again.”

“Why, Esther wonders, do any of us believe our lives lead outward through time? How do we know we aren’t continually traveling inward, toward our centers? Because this is how it feels to Esther when she sits on her deck in Geneva, Ohio, in the last spring of her life; it feels as if she is being drawn down some path that leads deeper inside, toward a miniature, shrouded, final kingdom that has waited within her all along.”

#KateAtkinson
#AnthonyDoerr
#TanaFrench
#ChinaMieville
#ClaireNorth

“The harbor beyond the city is calm and gray beneath a slow drizzle. (…) No boats winking out there. No buoys sounding their bells. Nothing on the horizon. Rain falls on the sea. Out there, fish travel in numberless schools and whales freight their colossal hearts through the cold dark.” #books #AnthonyDoerr #Afterworld #whales #hearts

“And the light broke over the world and it broke into a thousand thousand pieces, and these pieces fell into all events and all creatures.”
