death tribble Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Gerald's Game by Stephen King. A bondage session goes wrong for a middle aged couple. This is very different for Mr King as we only have one protagonist in a precarious state. It is an interesting read. Not the best King book but still worth a read.

Old Man Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 On 1/2/2018 at 4:30 PM, Zeropoint said: "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond. An interesting and informative read. The main idea is that Europeans developed a powerful society before anyone else did NOT because Europeans were in any way superior to anyone else, but because Europe is the only part of the Earth that meets the requirements for building a powerful society. If you've ever played a 4X or civilization builder game, you probably know all about crappy start locations. I read this. It was fascinating. It didn't seem like fiction when I read it though.

death tribble Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Each pilgrim going to Canterbury has to tell a tale. Technically each one has to tell two on the way there and two on the way back. However only one from each is included and some of these are incomplete. It is still good. I had only read bits and pieces and now have finished it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
