I ask because Patterson is worth discussing. The author himself. As we discuss important things, he is also important. He caters to readers as Breaking Bad does, or other similar entertainment. For those of us that observe entertainers using words.

I am now reading Ted Chiang's book of short stories. 11/10. Chiang wrote the novella that inspired The Arrival. It's great if you like ideas. It is highly rated on goodreads, and underrated.
Like this story...possibly the unacknowledged basis for the TV series about the pill that makes you genius...if the first 20 minutes grab you, this book is for you. How can I say that this book is for geniuses without coming off like a doosh?
Finished Jubal Sackett. 8/10.
The Giver, 9/10 but best to read with your 9/10 year old kiddo.
Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman, 8/10, see The Giver.

OK, I ran out of fun books, so decided to reread "The Brothers Karamazov." The other time I read it was when I was 23 and took a course in Russian literature. It probably changed my life more than any other book save one. Its a bit a heavy going, but I'm glad I'm doing this. I think I was too young to fully understand it the first time out.
I may have to revisit some other classics
