I hope everyone had a nice Christmas.

Last night I finished The Exorcist, it surprised me. I look forward to seeing the film at somepoint. Before The Exorcist I read Slewfoot by Brom I will track down his other books as I enjoyed that one!

My final reads of 2024 are Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka and The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard.

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Well, we don't get the Times readily here in Norway and I'm not aware of anything similar to the TLS over here, though I'm fairly certain such a thing exists, should I go looking.
With a to-read list currently numbering 935 novels of varying shapes, sizes and genres, I should probably avoid book recommendations for the next 20 years or so, but I keep stumbling upon books I get interested in reading, mainly in this very thread and through my connections on Goodreads.
As an example, I rarely explore classic literature and I've never really given Bronte or Austen any real consideration, but your mention of Wuthering Heights made me curious, so my list now stands at 936

@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN @MightyDemon82 @Enriesto Hope you all had a great Christmas, too (and all the other bookworms on here, as well)

Finished Michael Connelly's The Late Show (Goodreads page) over the holidays. Introducing Renée Ballard, who seems to be Harry Bosch's heir apparent, this novel was a good introduction to the character and her corner of the LAPD. While her approach to solving cases felt a bit similar to Bosch, I still enjoyed how it all played out, even though the «main» case hewed a bit close to the blueprint Connelly used a bit too many times in the earlier Bosch books. Looking forward to following this character further. Four stars.

Next up is another Dragonlance novel about the second generations of heroes, Dragons of Summe Flame (Goodreads page).

Finished Secret Rendezvous by Kobo Abe. That was certainly a bizarre and provocative journey, definitely not one for the squeamish or faint-hearted. Needless to say, Abe
