Finished Three Days to Never by Tim Powers. First half was pretty dense and slow, but second half, when things were getting obvious, and plans finally getting into motion, were very interesting, and was able to read them in just a few days.
It meets criteria for at least 3 different Bingo boxes, not sure where to place it. Would decide it later. ( @[email protected] We can do that right? Move them around different boxes after reading more books?)
Now I have just started Sunreach by Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson. It's first of three novellas, which are between book 2 and 3. (Well, third novella is generally recommended to be read after book 3, but that's a separate topic). It's a small book, so hopefully will be able to finish it soon.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it's Recommendation Post
We will be unfeaturing those posts now, so they won't be sticky on the top anymore. They will be mentioned in each weekly thread though, and you can also check them in community sidebar.
Trying to read Stephen King again. I forced myself through The Stand a few years back, and it was a horrible experience from start to finish, so this time I'm trying Pet Sematery instead.
I’m split on King. Some of just stuff like Eyes of the Dragon I’ve read multiple times because it’s so good, others like Needful Things I DNFed quickly.
I actually have Eyes of the Dragon in my backlog, got it in 2007 (just checked my LibraryThing entry for the book). Maybe I should finally give it a try.
For a long time I confused The Stand (which I have read) with the Shining (which I haven't read), and when everyone would talk about how great the Shining is, I would respond with my opinions about The Stand, which are it was an okay book, but could've been better if it was half the length.
I recently gave him another chance and read 'Sleeping Beauties' and liked it well enough. Planning to read some of his famous work, like IT, The Shining, Pet Semetary, and see if I like those or he just isn't for me.
