:emoji_blush:~ I haven't read the The Big Short but I definitely read Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It was really good.

I must look into getting hold of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST next time I visit the library.

I'm currently deeply immersed in the world of Jack Higgins.

The world of Jack Higgins is very interconnected. I think just about all of his novels feature characters that reappear in other novels.

I've read two Liam Devlin novels - including THE EAGLE HAS LANDED - and am now on my second Sean Dillon novel.

Liam Devlin was a mentor to Sean Dillon. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED was set in the early 1940s, whilst Sean Dillon is adventuring in the 21st century.

It appears to be quite a massive and intricate universe.

I'm having the time of my life! :emoji_wink:

In an attempt to convince myself that I am intellectual, I tend to get books from the library and never actually read them in the end, but might as well post 'em up, I guess, so here are my latest ones....:emoji_alien:

They will most likely go back unread.... :emoji_alien:

Three nights of terror in a house called Edbrook. Three nights in which David Ash, there to investigate a haunting, will be the victim of horrifying and maleficent games. Three nights in which he will face the enigma of his own past. Three nights before Edbrook's dreadful secret will be revealed - and the true nightmare will begin.

For many men, middle age arrives too fast and without due warning. One day you are young, free and single; the next you are bald, fat and washed-up, with weird tendrils of hair growing out of your ears. None of it seems fair. With age should come dignity and respect, but instead everyone makes tired jokes about buying a motorbike. Marcus Berkmann isn't having it.

Having marked his fiftieth birthday by hiding under the duvet for six weeks, the author of the cricket classics Rain Men and Zimmer Men is now determined to find some light in the all-consuming darkness. Musing over birth, death and all the messy stuff in between, he concludes that however dreadful you look in the mirror today, it will be much worse in ten years' time. His brutally candid despatch from the frontline is not for the faint-hearted, which is to say anyone under thirty-five.

In a quiet field in Buckinghamshire, a huge crack has appeared in the earth's surface. And people are dying. Incinerated beyond recognition. At the same time, hospitals have noticed an increase in catastrophic deformities in foetuses, and cancer levels soaring.

Dr Adam Royston, a scientist working at the nearby military base, thinks he knows what it is; a creature as old as the earth that slumbers for centuries, then wakes to feed on the energy and radiation produced by humans. But if he's right, and they can't find a way to destroy the creature roaming the countryside, then it's not just Buckinghamshire that could be in danger, but the whole world.

Now, this one I picked up today and am actually reading.. It has loads of science fact ideas and speculation, attempting to answer very intriguing questions about the fate of humanity, Earth, the universe - and it also goes into the multiverse theory etc. All in digestible chapters that don't overstay their welcome or get stodgy.

Great for a train journey. :emoji_alien:

The Back Cover Blurb....

It's lucky you're here. But for a series of choices, accidents and coincidences - any of which could have gone otherwise - your life would have been very different.
The same goes for reality. We live in just one of many possible worlds - but we can imagine parallel universes in which dinosaurs still rule the Earth, the Russians got to the moon first, everyone's a vegetarian or time itself flows backwards. And that's just for starters.

What if the laws of physics were different?
What if robots become smarter than us?
Or, if every human on the planet simply vanished tomorrow?

The answers to these questions aren't just fun to consider, but reveal deep truths about our own universe.

Join New Scientist on a thrilling journey through dozens of incredible but perfectly possible alternative realities, thought experiments and counterfactual histories - each shining a surprising and unexpected spotlight on life as we know it.

:emoji_relaxed:I am currently reading Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie. Its Hercule Poirot mystery tale. I really love that character. Poirot captivated me in Murder on the Orient Express. Has anyone read any Agatha Christie novels?

I have read And The There Were None, I liked it very much.

:emoji_relaxed: ~ That was the second book of Agatha Christie. I loved:emoji_purple_heart: it very much. The thrills & suspense got to my bones with And The There Were None. Too bad that the two movie versions didn't measure up to the novel.

:emoji_relaxed: I started reading Death On The Nile by Agatha Christie. It is another Hercule Poirot tale. This is the third book of Poirot, he is now one of my favorite fictional private investigator. My other favorite investigators that also love to read are Alex Delaware & Milo Sturgis(Johnathan Kellerman), Philip Marlowe(Raymond Chandler), and Alex Cross(James Patterson).
