Just finished: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. First time read for me, it was great! I really wish I’d read it as a teen.
Finishing up: 1984. I read it ~15 years ago, can’t believe how much I forgot.
Up next: Starship Troopers. It’s a book I own but haven’t read. I love the movie and typically hate reading a book I’ve already watched the movie version of, however I hear it’s worth the read and am curious how it’s written.
Good luck with Troopers. Verhoeven really spun some gold from the source material
Starship Troopers ended up a very different experience in the book, so I think you won't feel as though you're retreading too much.
Thank you for the insight! I’m hoping different will be a good thing, as most others seem to have liked the movie more.
