onesweetworld, this is totally off-topic, but I've been catching up on PLL from the beginning lately. And we have a puppy named Fitzy, and sometimes I call him Mr. Fitz. And then I get weirded out. Because I'm attracted to PLL Mr. Fitz. But obviously not to my dog.

You may now return to your regularly-scheduled campaigning.

I PLL.  I didn't start until earlier this year (before the new season started).  Now I'm obsessed.  I really want to read the books but I don't want to pay for them.  I should ask my co-worker if she found her copies.  
I am not obsessed with the Secret Life of American Teenagers on netflix and it's terrible, but I can't stop watching.

Secret Life was so bad, but yeah, I kept watching for a couple of seasons for some unknown reason. I watched PLL for the first two seasons, and then stopped because I had too many shows. Obviously I watched the last episode where we finally find out who A is, and now I'm going back to rewatch and see what kinds of clues I can pick up on. Hoping to get through it before the second half of this season starts.

At first I thought the page-count was the vote-count, and I was like, yay mine's winning! No it did not seem suspicious that >1000 people had voted. Lol.

Is Silkworm a sequel to The Cuckoo's Calling or are they just written by the same author?

It's a sequel.

[kawaiikitsune]

I know it is really popular but I would rather avoid The Martian, since I really want to see the movie and don't want spoilers. #ridleyscottislife

Which one is the least depressing?

*gasp* but but spoiling the book with the movie? You can't spoil the remake with the original! Heresy.

Do I need to read Cuckoo before Silkworm?

But Ridley Scott....

[thelittleredm]

All The Light We Cannot See is the only one I find interesting, so that's my pick! I couldn't get into The Cuckoo's Calling so the sequel is out for me. Space is not my thing. Ready Player One probably wouldn't be too bad.

Do I need to read Cuckoo before Silkworm?

no idea, I haven't read it yet. Paging pippacricket and penguin129

[penguin129]

I would say you can definitely read The Silkworm without reading The Cuckoo's Calling. The first book isn't nearly as good as the second IMO. I agree with pippacricket you could read Cuckoo first if you wanted more background. They do fill you in a little bit in the second one in case you haven't read the first.

[penguin129]

The Silkworm for the Win.... ?

[LadyNymeria]

If the Martian wins I'll have to be a temporary member of the GKU book club. MH just read it while we were on vacation and he said it was awesome. I'll never keep up with a book every month, but I want to read The Martian before we go see the movie anyway.

Not necessarily. I guess if you want more of background on the two main characters, then yes it would help. But the case that they're investigating in Silkworm has nothing to do with the case in Cuckoos Calling and vice versa.

Edited to page ArgyleEnigma since you asked the original question.

Thanks to you and penguin129! Still voting for Light, but now more excited for Silkworm if it wins.

I want to read all of these!! GAHHHH
