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?

    I’m still using reading mostly as a means to fall asleep but I finished Slow Horses on the weekend. Even after watching the TV series the books are very enjoyable.

    On to the next one!

      Heh, using it as falling sleep doesn’t match with you finding it very enjoyable. 😀

        It’s not boring me to sleep. I just mean that I’m only reading before bed now to help me relax and get to sleep.

          My apologies, I was trying to be funny. Didn’t really work out.

          Night time reading is a pretty good way to unwind and relax, away from the screens.
