I'm currently reading The Archived by Victoria Schwab in beautiful hardback edition. My first dt-book in almost three years and I'm pretty exited for it. Feels nice to read of real paper again and I plan to read more dt-books this year. And by the way: the story is also good so far.

It might be.
For example, Discworld is crucial to read in order yet there are too many people saying to not start with <i>The Colour of Magic</i> because they didn't like it all that much. There's a chart that says it's OK to read out of order and how to read out of order. IT's rubbish as you have to read in published order the first time. |

I've been reading in fits and starts with little keeping my attention.
I did recently complete Casino Royale, which I enjoyed. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of them. We own all of the novels & movies (except for Skyfall), so I'm trying to decide if I want to watch the movies after reading the books. Yes, I know they will be completely different, especially where nothing was borrowed from the book except the title, but it still might be a fun experience. I've just started a purely impulse read: The Sisterhood by Helen Bryan, which came up as a Lending Library selection on Amazon. Quote:

Just finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.
Good read, 4★. Some expressions threw me off at first though. Like poop sheet. That's just silly lol. I know the meaning, but still... |

Next I read A Glancing Light by Aaron Elkins. A quick and enjoyable mystery/adventure in the high-end art world. And now I'm starting the May/June issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. |

I just started David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest. Kindle tells me I'm only 14% of the way through, but already this is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. I plan to take another big chunk out of it today.
