So at the moment I am doing exactly this (The Spy Who Came In From The Cold by John le Carré and Nuclear War: A Scenario by Annie Jacobsen), and when it came up in conversation yesterday with my mother she low key reacted like I’d just said I was starting to sprout wings Doesn’t really seem that strange to me tbh, but what about you? Do you ever read different books and alternate between them? -

Here is my list of books I hope to read this summer. I know I probably won't even get through a tenth of these, but whatever books I read will be plucked from this selection. I'll put it under a cut because I'll get dragged for the long OP otherwise, and I'm not even going to include comic books or graphic novels because then the length would just be ridiculous by that point. And yes, I know some of them are trash but I need a mindless beach read every once in a while. Share your own summer reads for this year below!

Ever read any of these? I did relatively often as a kid, I remember reading the ones for Star Wars and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in particular. The Gremlins novelization was kinda interesting too, expanding on the movie's story by stepping into Gizmo and Stripe's own viewpoints at times. I bought the novelization for Krull of all movies last year for god knows what reason Still haven't read it.

Book What's the worst book you've ever read?
Hermione posted a topic in Entertainment News & Discussion
As some of you know I'm a writer, and the best way to become a better writer is to read a lot. Not just good writing, but the bad kind too, so you know what not to do. This is why I purposely read terrible books from time to time. I read Jacqueline Susann's cult classic Valley of the Dolls as a light beach read a few summers ago, and it was complete garbage. It was so campy and trashy that it went off the spectrum of awfulness, came around to the other side, and was actually entertaining. It was also homophobic and homoerotic at the same time, and the catfights were delicious. My fav -
Mine would be The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe He has a lot of other great ones tho.

Do you care for biographical materials outside of Wikipedia? I used to make my mum buy pretty much everything in pre-internet age, when I was a kid obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio, Spice Girls and other 90s superstars They used to publish a LOT of those softcover books with cringy, possibly fake celebrity facts, back then! Even if I'm not interested in a person, but heard their autobiogaphy was fascinating and funny, I always try to check those out also. Anyway, right now I'm reading Donald Spoto's extremely detailed, candid biography of Marilyn Monroe. This is my fourth -
I met Jake Kingston after being told he was a Ferrari-driving doctor with a hundred-acre ranch in the wine country. Not your typical blind date; and a good Valentine prospect? He was recently out of a failed relationship. One of many, as it turns out. In that regard, we were compatible. Well-suited in other ways, too. We both liked opera, symphony, and theater; fine dining and fine wine. My wish-list for a mate included smart, successful, sensual—which Jake definitely was. And he wasn’t intimidated by a strong, self-assured woman. Unlike with wimpy business colleagues and whiny ex-lovers,
