Probably the main reason I have not even started them. I don't want him to fall over dead without finishing them.
Finished Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods (Themis Files 1 & 2). Just started Neverwhere. Excited for this one; been on the list for some time.
Re-reading The Elfstones of Shannara. I haven't read it since I was 15. See if it is as good as I remember.
I'm going through American Gods, mainly I guess because of the publicity around the series. I've read something by Neil Gaiman before--maybe Neverwhere?--without ever finishing it because it was crap. I'll finish this one, but that doesn't mean it isn't crap. Guy should stick to MiracleMan, which wasn't really all that terrific, either.
Been reading It for what seems like forever now (bought it in May I think, been reading since some time in June) I'd be finished, but it's like 1,400-some odd pages on the Kindle, and I'm only reading It (pun intended) on the weekends. I'm a night time reader usually, but I'm a wimp when it comes to horror/suspense. And, I am alone on weeknights. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
Is there a series of books out there that is good, and that the author has actually friggen finished?
Been reading Moby [penis]. It’s actually a lot more enjoyable than I expected. The main thing I take from it is that whaling was pretty awful.
From when I read it in high school - yes. Although still not as bad as Heart of Darkness, which was the most boring book I ever read.
Not too bad imo. There’s well over 100 really short chapters, so when something gets too laborious, the subject changes pretty quickly. There are definitely parts that are equivalent to three yards and a cloud of dust football.
Went to see The Man Who Invented Christmas yesterday, and picked up A Christmas Carol and started reading it again for first time in ages last night. I'll never be convinced Dickens wasn't paid by the word.
I just finished all 900,000,000 pages of Atlas Shrugged. I wouldn't say it's a great book, but it's definitely a foundational explanation of objectivism and a pretty good groundwork for capitalism. If nothing else, anybody with socialist leanings should be familiar with it just so they know what the other side thinks of them.
Really enjoyed the book up until the point she crashes in Atlantis. Book went to hell at that point, was no longer based in any reality. The Fountainhead was a better book.
