Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Haven’t read much more since the last week, but the few pages I did read are still in old time, and while they are interesting for world building, I can’t make myself feel anything for characters that have been dead for 100 years, and have nothing to do with the “current” story. Still, like I said, going to read at least first 100 pages, and then see if I still want to continue.
Also started The Complete Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft. I have never gotten around to reading any of it, so wanted to read it all in published order. Couldn’t find any good collection in local store, so started downloading all his work (which is in public domain), but then found out about the ebook created by “CthulhuChick”, she has basically gone through what I was doing and compiled an ebook with his complete works, organized in published order (excluding his one story from very early days, and two other non-horror stories. Since I wanted to read those too, I just added them in myself).
So, enjoying this now. Have only read first couple of stories yet. Would love to see how his work evolves.
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.
I finally finished The Vanished Man after 3 attempts at starting. The book was great but I just couldn’t get myself to focus long enough to get in to it properly but it was a really good read.
Next is Slow Horses and I’ve managed to get stuck in straight away on this one. I really enjoy the TV series so looking forward even more to the books.
Have you read other books in the Lincoln Rhyme series? I only know it from The Bone Collector movie, which I liked. If they are anything like that, they can be an interesting series to read.
I have heard good things about Slow Horses, haven’t read it myself though.
Yeah I’ve read all the books up to The Vanished Man now. Initially I did chose them because I love the movie and every one so far has been great.
Thanks for the info, will check them out.
