I recently got this audio book from the library. 38 discs!

It ought to take me several long runs to listen to this bad boy.

So, I was off a bit with my estimate of how long this would take. Started listening in July 2013 and just finished it Tuesday.

I got into listening to podcasts rather than books during my long runs and bike rides. I decided to pick this back up recently and I've been listing during my swim workouts.

It was a bit weird because they had a british person record the audio for some reason. Although, it was pretty funny listening to her accent when she got to ebonics and gangster rap.

I haven't read the HH series yet, but I really liked The Son by him.

Artemis by Andy Weir. Not as good as The Martian, but above average.

Ready Player One

Is it worth reading even if I already seen the movie?

I would definitely recommend it. I still haven't seen the movie, but after seeing a few trailers I'd say the movie differed greatly from the book.

Started reading Victor the Assassin series.

I really like this series so far. I'm on Book 3 - The Game.

It's a fun book - Victor is human with flaws and limitations, but an excellent assassin.

I highly recommend them:

Nice. Read that in high school.

I want to find a book that is similar to Ready Player One. It doesn't have to be VR or pop culture based, but I just want a futuristic type book that is somewhat similar to RPO. Anyone know of one out there that they liked?

I haven't read RPO, but I really liked Lock In by John Scalzi and Artemis by Andy Weir.


Both are futuristic novels - mysteries set in futuristic worlds.

Haven't read it yet, but Ernest Cline did write another book after RPO. It's called Armada. Sounds a bit like a modern take on The Last Starfighter to me.

"The story follows a teenager who plays an online video game about defending against an alien invasion, only to find out that the game is a simulator to prepare him and people around the world for defending against an actual alien invasion."
