I don’t remember that one specifically, but I believe I have read all of his books, so probably. Did you like it?
It was not quite my cup of tea. If it is typical of his style, then I probably will just only read this one. My to be read list gets longer much faster than I read.
I should have included a plot summary. This one was set at the end of the Civil War and the main character came home because he was injured fighting for the South. His dad and uncle were helping US sympathizers avoid the draft into the Confederate army.
Just started Rendezvous with Rama.
3/4 through The Stand. I loved the 90s miniseries. Book is infinitely better. I could do without all the sex and the JC this and GD that, but aside from that stuff, it’s great. Lots of in depth character development.
I need to add more of the sci-fi masters to my reading list.
I’ve been reading some Sackets (Louis L’amour) to my son at bet time.
They read differently now than they did when I read them while in college…
May I suggest Stanislaw Lem and Strugatsky brothers? 
Lem is perhaps most known for “Solaris”, but I’d suggest to start with The Cyberiad
and Strugatsky’s “Roadside Picnic” or “Hard to Be a God” might be a good introduction to their work.
(if I suggested this before, apologies, I am old and forget stuff…)
I’‘d be curious to hear what you think about the ‘sequels’ to it, if you ever read them.
They are a different tone, which is fine, but I just couldn’t finish them, the style just doesn’t work for me.
So far I’m hooked. The sequels appear to be cowritten (mostly?) with Gentry Lee, maybe that accounts for the change in tone. Sometimes sequels just aren’t warranted could be the case as well.
Did you start with the Barnabas Sackett stuff (Sackett’s land)?
It’s also different reading aloud vs. reading to yourself.
The last few books I’ve read.
Red Rising - Pierce Brown
Count Zero - William Gibson
Ministry of Time - Kaliane Bradley
Hyperion - Dan Simmons
Leviathan Wakes - James S. A. Corey
Non-Fiction
Forbidden Facts - Gavin de Becker
The Reluctant Spy - John Kiriakou
A while ago I picked up the first book in David Eddings’ Belgariad series. I really enjoyed it, so I went online and bought the rest of the series. I am about halfway through it and am enjoying it.
I read those as a teen…pretty much all his books. If you can separate the man and wife atrocities from his work.
We started with a couple about Tell, even those were backwards. First we read was when he lost Ang, the second one we read was when he met her up by a gold claim. The anticipation of finding out if the girl in the cave came to be Ang from the book we had just finished.
Then we went back to The Far Blue Mountains, where Barnabas escapes England and settles in Americas.
I stumbled across that earlier, and I can separate that from his work, especially since he’s dead now and there is no chance of him profiting from me buying his books from a private seller on eBay.
The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel: Genius, Power, and Deception on the Eve of World War I, by Douglas Brunt
This was amazing!
I am currently reading The Postman, by David Brinn, and enjoying it. It’s a post-apocalyptic novel, and I’ve always been a fan of those. I have read Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank and Wolf and Iron by Gordon R. Dickson multiple times.
I finished it yesterday evening. There was a line near the end that I thought was interesting. I don’t remember the exact words, but the gist of it was that while we’ve always heard the saying that power corrupts, it’s more accurate to say that power attracts the corruptible.
There were a few good lines in the movie, I wondered how many came directly from the book.
I would say thats true, just look at politicians. Since the positions allow for power and wealth, it attracts people who only care about those things.
