    Has this been mentioned before: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline? It was released in 2011 but I somehow missed it. If you enjoy pop culture references from the 1980's, it's a must read. If you enjoy dystopian type settings and stories about gaming culture, I'd recommend picking this up. I got it on Audible and Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher of Star Trek TNG) does a bang up job narrating.

    Don't know if this has been said, but Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastard series is brilliant.

    Just finished Brandon Sanderson's - "The Way of Kings" and "Words of Radiance" These are mostly good, very slow to develop, quite long, but still fairly riveting, lot's of individual characters where the author zips back and forth between their stories, which are part of the overall story of course. It's several thousand pages in before he begins to tell us how the whole thing works, a bit clumsy in setting up the third book. Looking forward to see how it all shakes out.

    Liked the reviews so added to my reading bucket list.

    I know who to blame if I don't like it.

    Audible, doesn't belong here. YOU READ NOTHING.

    I like the start of it. I prefer Patrick Weekes's 'Rogues of the Republic' in that sort of genre.
