What are you reading?

The best series I've ever "read" was Jack Reacher. I actually listened to that one, and what made it so good was the narrator, Dick Hill. His voice was perfect for Reacher, although a male voice is strange when reading female lines if you aren't used to it. He did such a great job that my wife would listen with me after overhearing it. That was the unfortunate part; it became "our" book, and I had to find something else to listen to when commuting and she wasn't present.

Another I recommend is the Zombie Fallout series by Mark Tuffo. It's a slightly humourous, or sarcastic, zombie apocalypse story following a family. It has a darker spin-off that follows from a mutant zombie-clown perspective, and a very good spin-off that follows a teen girl with her baby brother (literally, a baby), the family cat, and the family dog, a pitbull. That one is written from the perspective of the dog. The cat-dog relationship is quite funny.

Reacher, Fallout and LOTR are my top three, in that order.

There was a long period where movies dubbed into Polish were all done by a single male voice actor. It was weird to hear different voices for different characters recently.

As for Reacher…fun books to listen to (and yes I like that voice actor) but the books are all the same. After 4-5 books the storyline is exactly the same, with a different location and different love interest.

Sounds like Tarzan, John Carter of Mars et al.
Just listened to a podcast. Are they ok here or separate?

rereaad but been a long time and like the writing style. Lots of laughs and I just finished the actual actual history of the Comancheria. Comanche Moon...
To actually see one of the last wild Comanche warriors in the earliest western film out of 1908 was startling.

The first western about a bank robbery. It was filmed on location in Cache, Oklahoma, with several figures of the old American West playing their own roles, notably the last Comanche Chief Quanah Parker, repentant outlaw Al Jennings and renegade sheriff Franck Canton.

I dig westerns but I can’t read fiction. Historical drama and I’m all over it .

I get ya. I will read fiction but with so many interesting and amazing true stories to be had it's mostly nonfiction for me.

After just posting that I don't read much fiction I picked Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It's a short novella, a classic and I just finished slogging thru the God Delusion so time for a bit of fluff.

Just started Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for my book club. We have been picking these as Halloween themed books. Halfway through the book and enjoying it. If you have not read it, highly recommend Frankenstein.
