Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy, so no change there.
It has become quite interesting though (or maybe it’s just the Stockholm syndrome talking), I am in last 1/3 or maybe 1/4th of the book, and things have started to get together, though I still don’t know what’s the goal in this book. From all I have read, this seems to just be a ‘middle’ book whose purpose is to explore the world and take us from book 1 to book 3 where everything will be concluded.
Let’s see how I feel by the time I finish it.
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.
Just started reading I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. I never watched iCarly or anything else she’s been in, but I have heard of her story before. Seems like a good book if you are interested in abusive parents and unhealthy family dynamics.
Now I am reading ‘Amadeo Bordiga in the Italian Communist Party’ by Agustín Guillamón. I recently finished ‘What Is to Be Done?’ by Lenin.
Howls Moving Castle by Dianne Wynne Jones
Have heard great things about her, but have yet to read any of her work.
How are you enjoying it? I heard it’s a bit different from the movie.
I like it so far. I love the movie and its cool to read the story in more detail. There are some differences in the events and things that happen and of course since you get the thoughts of Sophie on top of that its nice.
Also I like the writing style, its very easy to visualize and pretty straightforward
About to start reading Ursula Le Guin’s The Dispossessed after finishing Frederik Pohl’s The Merchants of Venus, which was an incredibly well done little novella about a shady tour guide giving rich clients a chance at discovering riches on Venus.
The Dispossessed is generally regarded as some of the best Anarchist sci-fi around, depicting how that society could potentially look like in practice. I anticipate It’ll be quite good.
Continuing the endless cycle of Lois McMaster Bujold.
Currently listening to The Assassins of Thasalon from the “Penric and Desdemona” novella series.
