What are some good books to read during CV outbreak?

[juggernaut]

I don't have any that hasn't been made into a movie:)

 

[Cattapilla]

The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman. If you like him.

 

[Kraken.headz]

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson, if you want to have your mind continuously blown by reality. My most re-listened to Audiobook

 

[Kampbe1l]

'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy', Douglas Adams - BBC radio show first, then tv series, then book, then movies. an unusual sequence.

Movies are the worst. Maybe Radio show was the best - get stoned, close your eyes and listen. Anyway, book's good too, while BBC TV series was okay.

currently, i'm (re)reading 'Richard III', Shakespeare, my favourite simple tragic hero story.

@MIGrampaUSA Not the Stand! I can still remember the opening of that book after not reading it for 25 years.

Twilight eyes by dean koontz
Anything older by dean koontz actually, his newer stuff too mellow, like the weird factor in older stuff.

 

[DreamsOfDiesel]

I find myself skipping pages when reading king, like the movies better, detail is good but I can only take so many pages describing sky color, etc in 1 sitting, like the meat of the books tho
