My netbook is still not working properly and it's driving me crazy ... probably the reason why I read so much these days. In the past two weeks, in chronological order:
-
Drood by
Dan Simmons; it was just as great as I expected. I love this book. It took me a lot time to read, though - I picked Thunderer up on April 10th, so I was reading Drood for a week at least, maybe more.
-
The Thunderer by
Felix Gilman; better than I thought! Gilman has a really nice, almost poetic style.
-
Nation by
Terry Pratchett; given to me as a birthday gift (a hardcover!) and I read it in one evening. It's first of Pratchett's books I've read in 3 years and I was pleasantly surprised.
-
House of Leaves by
Mark Z. Danielewski; I wanted to buy this book for some time now and when I finally went to the bookstore to order it, I found it sitting there on the shelf. Ha! Loved it, too. I know some people were complaining about messed up paragraphs but it really wasn't that bad and they mostly gave additional emphasis to the story.
Next one is
Blood of Ambrose by
James Enge.
