Not sure if we have a reading thread. Re reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K Dick. Probably my 2nd favourite book.

I love Philip K. Dick books. He's fascinating and bonkers. I dont know how many times I've read this one.

My favourite ones are spiritual and philosophical ones such as Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist and Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Both of these books have been very therapeutic for me a various times. Also, Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho is one I really loved and want to read again. I love his simplistic style. It’s just beautiful.
One I read about 10 years ago and bought again recently was Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth. Just an all round majestically written masterpiece really. It’s set in twelfth century England, and it’s set around the building of a great cathedral, but it’s about so much more than that. This is one I recommend to anyone who’s looking to read incredibly well written fiction with astonishing characters. If we ever start a book club on here this would probably be my choice, although it’s an overwhelming big book to read the rewards are fruitful. Just, what. A. Book!!
Moby Dick! Again, just immense really. What can you possibly say about this book to a person who hasn’t read it? Read this book. Yesterday!
George Orwell’s 1984! This book terrified me because of how real it all feels, and then with the Leaving Neverland situation this year, Orwell was a prophet!

Currently reading The Diving Pool, by Yoko Ogawa (translated from Japanese). God, this book is just so dark and creepy. Really gets under your skin. As a horror fan, I'm pleased, but it's not often a book gets to me like this.
