I'm an avid reader and I've just ended 2017 with the book I believe you should start 2018 with.
It's an apocalyptical end-of-world fiction novel that won't let you go for 900+ pages. It's a very fun read and totally relevant to today's nuclear weapon centered rhetoric.
So, for all you readers out there, get yourself: Swan Song, by Robert McCammon.
The characters are well developed, the action non-stop, the battle between good and evil epic.
Happy reading and don't hesitate to share your favorite books so that I can also start 2018 with something good.
Steem on!
