The Official HH Book Club List

How are all these books getting reading by poasters who poast in every fucking thread on HH?
 
Damn - doesn't anyone other than @Doog_de_Jour read trashy books?

How about Lee Child and the Jack Reacher series that doesn't star Tom Cruise? good quick reads.
Steve Berry books featuring super spy Cotton Mather
James Rollins books with super spy fighting agency SIGMA

most of my porn collection is by anonymous so can't really recommend them

Libby dude.

Get the app (assuming you have a library card) and then you can use it to borrow e-books from your regional library by searching the app, then click on a book you like and it instantly opens Amazon and asks you if you want to transfer it to your Kindle -> transfer it, read it, then use the app to return it within 3 weeks. Free, easy, and amazing.

It's teh teets. I use it mostly for audiobooks, set it on 1.5 or even 1.75 speed, and knock that shit out.
 
Pro Libby tip: If you're listening to a book before you go to sleep, set a bookmark and then the sleep timer. If you ass out before the timer, you'll know roughly where to go back to.

literally described me and the thousands of podcasts I've "listened" to... turn on a podcast, fall asleep within 2 minutes, wake up and I've completed it. I never retain anything. I can't deal with audio books for that reason. My commute is 8 minutes so doesn't work for me in the car and everywhere else I just fall asleep (parenthood has left me chronically sleep deprived apparently) so I need to just read the old fashioned way - with my eyes.

It's almost like someone sent you a sympathy card for your lost time when your kid was born.

I’ve only read the first of the new ones. I liked it, but after a few other disappointing entries in the newer books I haven’t dipped back into anything Star Wars related. You recommend Alliances and Treason?

Devil In a Kilt is not trashy! I’ll have you know it is a largely historically accurate look into medieval Scottish society and a nuanced study of traditional feminine beauty.

The protagonist, Linnet MacDonnell, the youngest of seven sisters, with her flame-bright red hair, sharp tongue, and strange gift of second-sight, no man wanted her. But the devil would take her. Bartered as a bride to her father's long-sworn enemy, the nobly born Highlander Duncan MacKenzie of Kintail, she had no choice but to enter a marriage with a man rumored to have murdered his first wife and said to possess neither heart nor soul.

Forbidding and proud, Duncan MacKenzie wanted only one thing from his new bride -- to use her special gift to determine if young Robbie was truly his son. He never expected the MacDonnell lass to stubbornly follow her heart, chase away the darkness in his castle with light and laughter, and ignite a raging fire in his blood. How dare she defy him, and tempt a devil like him to feel what he feared most of all --- love!

Thanks again for the recommendation @PurpleThrobber!
 
Would love some recommendations that don’t have to do with war or sci-if, fantasy type shit.

It's from the 80s but Robert Ludlum could write a cold war novel. He did the Bourne series. Much better than the movies

I like that kind of fiction. The guy who wrote Absolute Power is another one. Beach books
