Quote of the month right here!
Was a "blind buy" yesterday (unknown author, unknown genre) but I thoroughly enjoyed this! The writing style is very similar to Carl Hiaasen and reads very easily. 
Finished it today, was a miserable cold rainy day... Just how I like it!

Some light reading tonight:
Im actually in a rut with books. I love the previous works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Their newer work's sucked, so i went over to fiction crime. I enjoyed Jeffrey Deaver's book series which i finished.
So now im looking for something new.
Any ideas?

Started yesterday some motivational reading.
I started reading the prequel The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck but somehow it didn't appeal to me and I never finished it.
For those who have children with ADHD, this might be useful. I came across it in a magazine.
Never bothered with the previous one.
Picked this one based on the title alone. It felt fitting for the end of this year.
The new Lincoln Lawyer novel, at last.
Reminded me of this:
Still want to get a copy, was released almost 12 years ago already.
Back in 2012 I wrote a dissertation on that subject, but I think the conclusion is not suitable for this thread.

I've just finished reading this book written by Scott Kelly, who spent a year in space. It was absolutely fascinating to find out how they live, what they need to do and what a spacewalk entails. There is no way on earth - or space - that I could ever do that!!
How's this for a book-lover's staircase?
A brilliant book!
I had been thinking of buying an e-reader, but these last two weeks have made me re-think.
Last week a transformer went down and we were without power from about 7a.m. to 3p.m. On Saturday the same transformer went down again and we were without power from Sat. 5p.m. to Sunday 11a.m.. By this time, my mobile's battery had run down, as had my laptop. If I'd had an e-reader, the same would probably have happened. We live in an age where everything needs to be charged.
But - a real book to the rescue! I could read with a small hand-held light. It was fully charged, fortunately, and the charge lasts a long time. What bliss!

Not sure what book this is, but this is what the Gr 10's to 12's are reading this year in Afrikaans First Language.
I wanted to comment about the page number but the aunties on facebook sounded very passionate about this subject.

Let's be honest, with the stuff they see on Netflix, Showmax, youtube, facebook, DSTV,.... they can teach dad a few things.
I heard something astonishing the other day. Someone told me that she feels guilty when she reads, because it's lazy.
But when asked if she watches Netflix she nodded vigorously. Sad, isn't it?
