I like to ask this question every few months.
Currently reading Life of Pi by Yang Martel. Saw the movie a few months ago and wanted to read the book. The one I just finished was called Black Ice by Michael Connelly. It’s one of the Bosch books.

I've been reading The Dresden Files. They are... pathetic. Disappointing for how much they were hyped. I'm on the third one and I just can't be bothered to finish it. The last book that I read that was this bad was Tale of Two Cities.
I rather liked the Dresden files, but I listened to the recordings by James Marsters. He really leans in to the idea that Harry imagines himself to be some sort of film noir detective with a wand, and the first person narrative probably benefits from being read by a voice actor. I could actually see liking them less if i read narrative in my own minds voice. Either way they're defiantly the book equiv a a popcorn flick
I mean the books ARE noir detective stories, the problem is I probably just don't like noir detective stories. To much pretentiousness.
Only Dickens I’ve read is Christmas Carol and Great Expectations in school. Wow, I’ve heard great things about Dresden Files. Thanks for the heads up
