Finished The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy! Finally!
It was interesting read, but too long. Too much back story and details that could have been condensed quite a bit. As it is, I didn't like the fist quarter, second quarter was okay, third was interesting, and really enjoyed the last one.
Still one book remaining in the trilogy, but need a break, will come back to after a little while.
Read some more stories from The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.
Now reading The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore. First book of The Icewind Dale Trilogy, and The Legend of Drizzt / Forgotten Realms series (publication order).
It's my first Drizzt, and first D&D novel and has been on my wishlist for a very long time. Just started it so can't really say much about it, but enjoying it so far.
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 . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
There's a chapter where Ishmael gets mad that all the whales are named wrong. He spends a while renaming them better.
It's a very odd book. I quite liked it, but it's definitely in the recommend with caution group.
Well, I'm glad I mentioned it here to get some feedback. Phew, it would have been a very long read, especially for me. lol
Don't forget how he asserts that whales are actually fish and he doesn't care what scientists say because he spoke to whalemen
Mammals are supposed to have hair. Don't try to pretend you've seen a whale with a bob or braids. Ishmael was 100% right here.
